AKIRA



Sorry for the 2 week break I haven't had much time over these past 2 weeks. This week's feature is AKIRA Katsuhiro Otomo's Epic manga. Why Akira you might ask? well a lot of people have seen the movie but not a whole lot of read the manga. which in my opinion blows the movie away. It's just one of those series that stands the test of time.  It's artwork is amazing, it's story is unique, and mind-blower it's basis is on Tetsujin 28 aka Gigantor. Really? you might ask. Gigantor? Many of Akira's character share common names with those in Tetsujin 28. Tetsujin 28 is about an secret military robot, Akira is about a secret military psychic who just happens to be #28. Akira is a great read and I highly recommend it to any one who has seen the movie or just want's to read an interesting book. Well I'll leave you guys off with an Interview from Akira's creator Katsuhiro Otomo.
