That is glorious, and now I need more Akira on my shelf.
A student of mine colors manga as a hobby and he did an absolutely magnificent page from Akira for me, hangs on my classroom wall
Haha, teenage obsession right there. It took me years and a little traveling (pre-internet) to collect the whole Dark Horse run, and it’s still taking about 2ft. of my bookshelf.
Including the post-gap issues when he got around to wrapping it up, and other Otomo esoterica like Domu and Farewell to Weapons. It’s weird that I never got into other manga but I’m nuts for his work.
