Every single time I see Akira float by in recently updated anywhere on the internet it means that I will be reading Akira for the next few hours.

I just binged read all of this. Holy shit. More people need to read this!!!

 

[MangaField]

Well, that was one of the most boring manga I’ve read.

 

[Burning_Hammer]

Can anyone upload a translation of this that's not flipped?

Epic Comics version is literally unreadable

 

[Killjoynik]

Thoroughly enjoyed. It pulls off color really well, all things considered. Not sure if the ending was bad or if I just didn't understand it, but everything else is solid. Don't expect anything like Blame! though. It's more like Indiana Jones gone cyberpunk.

This one of few rare cases when anime adaptation story version is better

 

[flowstate]

The series is a must read for a fan of the film and really gives the characters in the anime adaption time to develop fully. Coming from owning the b&w version, having color is such a change! I've got to say though, after a while of reading the color version I do feel that the b&w version is better. I will forever love my 35th anniversary box set. T.T

And for the record, manga > movie by a landslide. The movie, especially for the time has absolutely brilliant animation, but the manga is THE definitive experiece, where the movie is a flash in a pan, leaving you with many questions if you haven't yet read the series.

Why is there more than 38 chapters for the portuguese version ?
I'm confused about this.

 

[guilhaume]

@tamwile did you discover why?

 

[tamwile]

@guilhaume since i don't speak portuguese, i didn't really dig up the issue.
But it seems that portuguese ch 112 match with english ch 38, even if they are slightly different.

As you can see, the text of the banner is different.
Btw, portuguese ch 38 seems totally unrelated to english ch 38.

Pelo que entendi @tamwile, @guilhaume a versão em inglês tem múltiplos capítulos eu um único alem de ser remasterizada por isso as diferenças, mas estou apenas especulando

 

[guilhaume]

@viniciusufx valeu cara, muito obrigado

Waste of time. 3/10

 

[jkubed]

anyone know if scans of the boxset version are up anywhere? I didn't see anything on Nyaa and I can't bring myself to read an iconic manga in such a horrifically vandalized state (colored in, mirrored, sound effect art fucked up).

I'm not about to drop $150 on a manga I don't even know if I like lmao.
