AKIRA 1 OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS 12 Anime Art Book First Print Shohan

Description: AKIRA 1 THE COMPLETE WORKS 12 Description This is the first collection (8 volumes) of the Otomo complete works edition of “AKIRA,” created by Katsuhiro Otomo in 1982-1983, when he was 28-29 years old, and containing the first 14 issues (up to p. 279 of the first volume of the book) of the serial “AKIRA” that he started in Young Magazine, then in its second year of publication, in its original form as published. This historical work, which had a great impact on the manga world, is renowned for its perfection, but in fact, a great deal of brushing up was done by the author when it was published in book form.Additions, corrections, deletions, replacements, page and panel replacements, additional finishing touches, new drawings, etc., were used to polish the work, and the final product is the YANMAGA book version of “AKIRA,” which continues to be read 40 years after its initial publication. In particular, it is a well-known fact that the door pictures of each episode of the serialization were removed from the book. However, in this edition of Otomo's complete works, the author decided to publish the “serialized version,” which is a reprint of the original version before any changes were made to the book, by restoring everything, including the door pictures, as much as possible to the original state of the serialization. Although there are some parts where the original drawings do not exist, and some parts that cannot be restored to their original state due to direct revisions to the original manuscript, we have made it our mission to “restore the original state as much as possible” in the collected editions. The “LIVE serialized version of AKIRA,” which has been completely lost since its serialization, is different from the “finished AKIRA” in book form, and perfectly recreates the excitement of the time when it was first published. Dedicated to all “AKIRA” fans! This is a must-have, must-see volume dedicated to all “AKIRA” fans. The first color spread of the very rare first issue, which is different from the book version, and the color pages from the serialization are all reprinted as they were at the time of publication.
