Akira ペーパーバック – 2001/2/23

英語版 Katsuhiro Otomo (著)

10

すべての形式と版を表示

The manga that began it all - now available for a new generation! From master storyteller Katsuhiro Otomo, Japan's foremost manga maestro, comes the epic work that introduced the West to the epic, stylised and sweeping artform that is manga - Akira! This post-apocalyptic saga, set in the remains of Neo-Tokyo, charts the coming of the creature known only as Akira, a power both feared and prized for its potential to shake the recovering world. Caught in a power play between factions of a brutal military organisation, Kaneda - young, restless, committed to defying authority - and Ryu, the leader of an underground movement, are pulled into an escalating nightmare, built around a group of psychically powered children.

the original

this is the series that started it all. nearly every anime that has been created since the mid 1980's owes something to the series and movie that begun with this book. the author of naruto got the inspiration to write his entire series from looking at a poster for the movie version. the wachowski brothers credit it as giving half of the inspiration for the Matrix franchise, and is slated to be a new live action movie staring leonardo DiCaprio in 2011. read this series and you will never forget it. it is the original, it is the reigning monarch of all things that fall anywhere near the genre of Japanese comic fantasy. read it and you will not be disappointed.

The best manga ever written

2007年8月15日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Akira, possibly the most famous graphic novel ever, begins here with this three hundred and fifty nine page first volume. This is the manga that the classic film was based upon and if you are worried that you've seen it all before then don't be. After just one volume my minds already been made up that this is far, far better than the film. It's all here, every character from the film (and some more) but the level of depth and development of the characters differs dramatically from the film. Almost from the word go things happen in a different order, and throughout this first volume you will continue to be pleasantly surprised at the turns the story takes. Even more so of course if you've never seen the film.

So, what exactly is the story of Akira? Well, all I know is what happens in the film, and already I'm pretty sure the manga is gonna end differently. For this reason then, I am not going to go into it. I'm not reviewing the film after all. The only thing you need to know is that it's a futuristic science fiction epic that deals with everything from war, government conspiracies, Tokyo gangs, to the next steps in evolution.

There's something slightly unsettling about seeing Kaneda and Tetsuo as motionless as statues I'll admit, but it soon passes. Before long it's like they're moving anyway; the level of detail is that good. Everyone looks fantastic, as do the backgrounds and all the vehicles. When you are reading it the fact that it's more than twenty five years old doesn't even approach consciousness. Akira feels like it could have been written yesterday. Much of the art feels true to life and characters are portrayed relatively realistically, not caricatured, and many of the science fiction elements feel grounded in reality, which helps keep the reader on-board.

As well as having a fantastic story and art, the actual dialogue and telling of the story is incredible too. Well, it's not a shonen manga so you do expect the dialogue to be a little more realistic. As a manga that falls into the seinen demographic (that means it's for adults) the added realism means that this probably isn't for people who are used to the typical shonen jump. This is a lot heavier going and complex. Also, as a result, it is far better. Everything from the violence, to the language the characters use is very realistic, very gritty. In fact, if all you've been reading so far is shonen, then this is a great way to get into more series graphic novels.

So, basically, this manga is incredible. I've only read the first volume (there are six) but already I'm wondering if this is the best manga I've ever read. Actually, no, this is definitely the best manga I've ever read. What I was actually wondering is: if this is one of the best things I've ever read, full stop.

An entry point for any looking to get into Japanese manga

I was highly skeptical before purchasing Akira, as I have never really grasped what was so appealing about manga, but I decided the first volume was worth a look after seeing the (superb) anime film adaptation, I was shocked at how accessible and entertaining this was to read and thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to get into what is fast becoming Japan's biggest export.

Better than the film

2002年5月14日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Same Plot, same characters and even the same story, but told in a completely different way. I bought this book because I loved Akira the film, and I wanted to read the original comic. I was expecting it to very similar to the film as most films based on books are, but I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The story is so good they couldn’t contain it in one film. So the film is an incredibly cut down version of the comics. If you loved the film you are going to be in Heaven with this book. As it tell more about the characters and the events that happen.
I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone that hasn’t read comics before, but if you have this is an amazing read with great lustrations.
