Akira Volume 5

Product Information

I'm still ecstatic about what Otomo has decided to go for with this series. With the tone having suddenly changed last volume, this one combines the more in-depth storytelling of that one with the fast-paced action of earlier bits. It's creating a story worth calling epic. After returning at the conclusion of Volume 4, Kaneda is reunited with Kei and joins Kaisuke and Joker (the former Clown leader) in planning an assault on the Great Tokyo Empire. Meanwhile, an international team of scientists meets up on an American aircraft carrier to study the recent psychic events in Neo-Tokyo, forming Project Juvenile A. Ryu has a falling out with Yamada after learning that he plans to use biological weapons to assassinate Tetsuo and Akira; Yamada later escapes Ryu's confines and meets up with his arriving commando team. Akira and Tetsuo hold a rally at the Olympic Stadium to demonstrate their powers to the Empire faithful, which culminates with Tetsuo tearing a massive hole in the Moon's surface and encircling it with a ring of the debris.

From the flooded wasteland of rubble and anarchy rises the Great Tokyo Empire, populated by a ragtag army of zealots and crazies who worship and fear Akria ad his mad prime minister, Tetsuo, and angry teen with immense powers of his own– and equally immense, twisted ambitions. The world at large is not taking the threat lying down, and the military strength of the planet is massing to take on the empire, but will technology's most advanced weaponry be enough to destroy Akira? And are Tetsuo's rapidly growing paranormal abilities a potentially greater threat?

I also wish Kaori was a little better developed because I think she would be an interesting character. Other than that, I don't have much to complain about. Akira, the character, seems so innocent and I find myself hoping that he won't be destroyed. Fingers crossed as I go into the final volume next! One of the Best Manga Science Fiction Ever Published. If there is one thing when it comes to anime, people will always remember Akira. When it comes to manga, this is a one read people should invested on. I love Akira personally because of its sheer epic story of man versus Godhood and any thing that writes about power, this is the book people of all reader types should read. The Colonel meets up with Kaneda and Keisuki to continue the journey after retrieving Chiyoko and now carrying a wounded and unconscious Kei, both in a caretaker robot.

The American military has been a presence in the story since Vol. 4 but they have yet to play any significant role. It's not their presence that bothers me, it's that they have so far been totally inconsequential to the plot so I'm not sure why they are even part of the storyline at this point. I don't believe for a second that they will be the ones to defeat Akira or Tetsuo. That likely rests with Kei, the Espers, and possibly Kaneda. I hope that there is something that happens in the next volume to justify their presence in the story.AKIRA (6)" (in Japanese). Kodansha. Archived from the original on March 21, 2004 .

The conflict feels somewhat meaningless since we still don’t really know much about the world, the setting or have much reason to care about the characters.
