An all-new, complete 35th anniversary hardcover box set of one of the most acclaimed and influential comics of all time, with the original Japanese art and right-to-left reading format for the first time! The science fiction epic that changed anime and manga forever is presented in six beautiful hardcover volumes, plus the hardcover Akira Club art book and an exclusive patch with the iconic pill design. In 1982, Kodansha published the first chapter of Akira, a dystopian saga set in Neo-Tokyo, a city recovering from thermonuclear attack where the streets have been ceded to motorcycle gangs and the rich and powerful run dangerous experiments on destructive, supernatural powers that they cannot control. In 1988, the manga was adapted into what was at the time the most expensive animated film ever made, which brought Akira's influence out of the manga world and onto the global stage. Today, it remains a touchstone for artists, writers, filmmakers, and fans, retaining all the brutal impact and narrative intensity it had when Otomo first unleashed it onto the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781632364616\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover Boxed Set\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kodansha Comics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWriter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Katsuhiro Otomo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributors:\u003c\/strong\u003e (W) Katsuhiro Otomo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2532 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.0\" × 10.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2017\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kodansha Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53392019259728,"sku":"9781632364616","price":219.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/9226\/7856\/files\/9781632364616.jpg?v=1786537621"},{"product_id":"the-ghost-in-the-shell-fully-compiled-complete-hardcover-collection","title":"The Ghost in the Shell: Fully Compiled (Complete Hardcover Collection)","description":"\u003cp\u003eExperience the complete cyberpunk classic manga in one massive hardcover, with an exclusive cover illustration created by Shirow Masamune specifically for this edition.

Before life as we know it, there existed entities that don't obey the laws of our reality—primordial beings known as mushi. In Japan, a man named Ginko wanders the land, investigating incursions by mushi into the human world—and by us into theirs. He is a mushi master…a mushishi. Includes Japanese volumes 3-4 in a premium casewrap hardcover featuring a new to English cover illustration. There are some you can see, and some you cannot. Mushi are a different form of life--one that Ginko, a mushishi, travels across the land seeking to decipher. Some mushi can affect a person's limbs, causing a rust-like stiffness that leaves them all but bedridden. Others can envelop people in an eerie sea mist that disrupts their sense of time. Even as he observes mushi and deduces how to live with them, Ginko keeps his feet firmly planted in the real world. But when a boy finds a \"false spring\" in the barren winter landscape, Ginko himself comes dangerously close to crossing over to the other side. Upon its release in the 2000s, Mushishi earned global acclaim for its poetic episodic storytelling and delicate, beautiful artwork, winning the Japan Media Arts Prize, selection as a Best Manga by the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs, and recommendation as a top read for teens by the American Library Association. The series inspired two TV anime adaptations in 2005 and 2014 and a live-action film directed by the legendary Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of AKIRA. Unfortunately, after being out of print for 15 years, English copies of Mushishi became as elusive as the strange creatures that populate its pages—until now.
