From the Publisher

An award-winning new edition

This new edition of one of the most influential comics ever features all six volumes in a revised translation with new, right-to-left lettering and Otomo’s original sound effects, plus the Akira Club art book and an exclusive iron-on patch.

Multiple Eisner Award winner

At San Diego Comic-Con 2018, the Akira 35th Anniversary box set won two Eisner Awards – the most prestigious awards in comics – for best archival project (comics) and best product design. The set is designed to be the definitive reading experience of Akira and to make a splash on any collector’s shelf.

*Best Production Design, Eisner Awards, 2018; Best Archival Project (Comics), Eisner Awards, 2018

Revised translation and new lettering

The Akira 35th Anniversary set is the definitive way to read Akira, reproducing the art at better quality than any previous version. It also retains the original right-to-left reading format and Katsuhiro Otomo’s original hand-drawn sound effects for the first time and features a newly-revised translation to get as close as possible to the originally-intended reading experience.

Top-quality design and production

New dust jackets, interior covers, and all-color endpapers take the look of the Akira manga back to the designs supervised by Katsuhiro Otomo for the Japanese market in the 1980s and 1990s – another first for an English-language edition. The box itself features a dual-hinge, magnetized door for a lasting, dramatic presentation.

Exclusive iron-on patch and art book

The Akira 35th Anniversary box set also includes an exclusive iron-on patch depicting the iconic “Good for Health, Bad for Education” logo as it appears on Kaneda’s jacket, plus the Akira Club book, which had long been a sought-after rarity, compiling exhaustive behind-the-scenes information and concept art by Katsuhiro Otomo and his collaborators.
