When it comes to groundbreaking manga, few series are as influential as Akira. Katsuhiro Otomo’s landmark work about rebellious teens and psychic powers burst into the mainstream with a feature film that is still widely regarded as one of the best animated films of all time–that you can grab on 4K Blu-ray for only $19–but before Kaneda and Tetsuo were battling each other on the silver screen, their conflict unfolded across an epic manga series.
Otomo’s manga series celebrated its 35th anniversary back in 2017 with a luxurious box set collection of the entire Akira manga run, and it wasn’t long before it sold out. Thankfully, the set has since become available again, and right now you can grab it for a stellar price at a trio of retailers. Listed at $220, you can snag the 35th Anniversary Box Set for $128. If you’re looking for the definitive Akira collection, it doesn’t get better than this.
