Akira

Akira, published by Dargaud from 2004 to 2005, is a five-issue comic series that offers a distinct, European-perspective take on the iconic cyberpunk saga. While closely associated with the original manga and film, this specific series is notable for its compact, self-contained narrative, bringing the post-apocalyptic story of psychic power and societal collapse to a new audience. Its concise run makes it a focused entry point for readers.
