Akira 1 introduces readers to a gritty Neo-Tokyo,built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III.
The lives of two streetwise teenage friends,Tetsuo and Kaneda,change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo,making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that levelled Tokyo.
At the core of the agency's motivation is a raw,all-consuming fear of an unthinkable,monstrous power known only as Akira.
