Otomos art on its own deserves 5 stars, but the story wasn't on par with the illustrations.And that's it. The so the story of Akira comes to an end. And what a beautiful, spectacular finale this was, worthy of the epic that has been told across 2000+ pages. I have read a fair share of manga and comics in my life, but rarely has a story been that cinematic. I have said this before, but with Akira, it was easy to forget that you are even reading something, as the panels came alive in front of my eyes. Everything is coming together in this volume.

There is more depth to its treatment of the story and the characters and when things get cosmic, as they often do towards the end, coherence is not lost in a sea of explosions and geysers of blood as in the movie. The artwork is just as stunning here, though I would of course prefer to see the images moving
This series is unparalleled. Dont procrastinate. Dont think twice. Read it.
