Akira Volume 5

Product Information

My complaints about the work are small. The placement of speech bubbles, particularly when characters are shouting, was not always clear. The foreign characters were really just Japanese with funny hats on. The difference between Akira and Tetsuo at the height of their powers is never really explained.

Don’t get me wrong I love the world he created and also the originality but he made some big blunders here with the story and the plot. And to top it off, everything devolves into mindless action again… When he comes onto the runway Kei stands waiting for him. She fights him as Miyako, Kiyoko, and Masaru speak to her mind, teaching her how to channel their powers while in the battle. The moment before Tetsuo throws a plane into her by telepathy, she opens her eyes in Miyako's chamber. The four of them sit in meditation. She had been there only in spirit. They want to stop Tetsuo and at the same time use Tetsuo against Akira, who was released by Tetsuo who already wants to surpass Akira and I guess kill him himself. And there's at least 10 other groups out there who want to use Akira, stop Tetsuo, stop Akira and use Tetsuo and so on. My head hurts. Following the climax, the United Nations sends forces to help the surviving parties of Neo-Tokyo. Kaneda and his friends confront them, declaring the city's sovereignty as the Great Tokyo Empire and warning them that Akira still lives. Kaneda and Kei meet up with Colonel Shikishima, and part ways as friends. As Kaneda and Kei ride through Neo-Tokyo, they see ghostly visions of Tetsuo and Yamagata. They also see the city shedding its ruined facade, returning to its former splendor. So he becomes the ship, takes it over, blows up another ship, transports onto a fighter jet in the air, becomes one with the jet. Bye-bye jet.After confronting the JSDF, Kaneda, Kei, and Tetsuo are taken into military custody and held in a highly secure skyscraper in Neo-Tokyo. Kei soon escapes after becoming possessed as a medium by another Esper, Kiyoko. Kei/Kiyoko briefly does battle with Tetsuo and frees Kaneda. After rapidly healing from his wounds, Tetsuo inquires about Akira and forces Doctor Onishi, a project scientist, to take him to the other espers: Takashi, Kiyoko, and Masaru. There, a violent confrontation unfolds between Tetsuo, Kaneda, Kei, and the Espers. The Doctor decides to try to let Tetsuo harness Akira — the project's test subject that destroyed Tokyo — despite Tetsuo's disturbed personality. Upon learning that Akira is being stored in a cryogenic chamber beneath Neo-Tokyo's new Olympic Stadium, Tetsuo escapes the skyscraper with the intent of releasing Akira. The pursuit ends at a canal, with Akira about to be taken into the Colonel's custody. Nezu attempts to shoot Akira rather than have him be put into government hands; he is immediately fired upon and killed by the Colonel's men. However, Nezu's shot misses Akira and hits Takashi in the head, killing him instantly. The trauma of Takashi's death causes Akira to cause a second psychic explosion that utterly destroys Neo-Tokyo. Kei, Ryu, Chiyoko, Colonel Shikishima, and the other two Espers survive the catastrophe; Kaneda, however, disappears as he is enveloped by the psionic blast. After the city's destruction, Tetsuo—entirely absent during the volume—meets and accosts Akira. There aren’t many mangas that successfully changed the game as Akira did. This Japanese cyberpunk series written and illustrated by mangaka Katsuhiro Otomo from 1982 to 1990 has managed to open the eyes of many creators on the ways that a story could be told through this particular medium. With the release of the 1988 anime movie based on Akira, the visionary direction of mangaka Katshurio Otomo allowed his franchise to reach fans all around the world as they welcomed this masterpiece into their lives and allowed it to change their perception of visual storytelling. So far in the manga, the story has brilliantly evolved into a symbolic exploration of life through pain, destruction, and rebirth. While touching upon various ideologies, the story depicts a tragedy unfolding in the hands of children condemned to carry around a tremendous burden as they try to survive a fateful calamity.

The story is told coherently and is actually going somewhere now. Otomo also got rid of all the annoying stuff of the previous volume. One of the Best Manga Science Fiction Ever Published. If there is one thing when it comes to anime, people will always remember Akira. When it comes to manga, this is a one read people should invested on. I love Akira personally because of its sheer epic story of man versus Godhood and any thing that writes about power, this is the book people of all reader types should read. Crystalyn Hodgkins.

The plot of the manga is a deeply engaging stream of events that grabs you by the shirt collar and never really lets go. It takes enough twists and turns to keep the tension high but still stays linear and focused in every volume despite the chaos. The sequence of events in the manga is exactly that, while the movie’s plot is much more all over the place. You always know where you are and why you’re there with the characters in the manga, and it remains exciting because they’re always subjected to the whim of this unknown power.Gravett, Paul (2004).
