Akira (アキラ, Akira?) is a cyberpunk serial manga by Katsuhiro Otomo (大友克洋, Katsuhiro Otomo?). An identically titled anime film adaptation was released in 1988.
The manga takes place in a vastly larger timeframe than the film and involves a far wider array of characters and subplots. Through the breadth of the work, Otomo explicates themes of social isolation, corruption and power.
Otomo's Akira projects -- the manga and its film adaptation -- marked his transition from a career primarily in the creation and design of printed manga to one almost exclusively in the creation, direction and design of anime motion pictures and television. --[Kai+Mar] 06:55, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
