Suffering the fate that beset its namesake three decades earlier, twenty-first-century Neo-Tokyo lies in ruin. Set off by the bullet of a would-be assassin, the godlike telekinetic fury of the superhuman child Akira has once again demolished in seconds that which took decades and untold billions to build.

Now cut off from the rest of the world, the Great Tokyo Empire rises, with Akira its king, the psychic juggernaut Tetsuo its mad prime minister, and a growing army of fanatic acolytes ready to go to any length to please their masters.

Akira Volume 4 continues the thrilling saga, blending dystopian themes with intense character dynamics. Dive into the chaos as power reigns supreme and loyalties are tested amidst the remnants of Neo-Tokyo.
