AKIRA 1 OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 12

Description: This historic work, which had a huge impact on the world of manga, is renowned for its perfection, but in fact the author gave it a lot of polish when it was published in book form.The Young Magazine book version of "AKIRA" was polished and completed through additions, corrections, deletions, replacements, rearrangements of pages and frames, additions of finishing touches, new drawings, etc., and is still read today, 40 years after its first publication.It is particularly well-known that the frontispieces of each serialized chapter were deleted from the book.However, in accordance with the aim of "arranging all of Otomo's work by era and tracing how he has changed as a writer," this complete collection of works has been published in the "serialized version," which has been reprinted as much as possible from the time of the serialization, including the frontispieces, in the form before it was edited for the book.There are some parts where the original illustrations no longer exist, and some parts where it is impossible to return them to the way they were when they were serialized because the manuscript was edited directly, but the goal of the complete collection is to "restore them to their original state as much as possible." The "live serialized version of AKIRA," which we have had no chance to see since it was first serialized, is completely different from the "finalized version of AKIRA" that we read in book form, and perfectly recreates the excitement of when it was first released! This is a must-have and must-see first volume for all AKIRA fans. Also included are the extremely rare color spread from the first issue, which differs from the book version, as well as color pages from the serialization, all reprinted exactly as they were at the time.
