The AKIRA Hardcover Collection features the updated translation and lettering of the 35th Anniversary Edition box set, now collectible one book at a time. Neo-Tokyo has risen from the ashes of a Tokyo obliterated by a monstrous psychokinetic power known only as Akira, a being who yet lives, secretly imprisoned in frozen stasis. Those who stand guard know that Akira's awakening is a terrifying inevitability. Tetsuo, an angry young man with immense-and rapidly growing-psychic abilities, may be their only hope to control Akira when he wakes. But Tetsuo is becoming increasingly unstable and harbors a growing obsession to confront Akira face to face. A clandestine group including his former best friend sets out to destroy Tetsuo before he can release Akira-or before Tetsuo himself becomes so powerful that no force on Earth can stop him.

Description

Floki has dug in, depending on the fortifications of Jomsborg to protect his grandson Baldr from the rebels. But, without and within, the tide turns against the aging master of manipulation. Enraged by the assassination of rebel leader Vagn, the battle-mad Thorkell-Floki's erstwhile ally-has taken the field against Baldr, and the boy himself has been taken hostage by Sigurd, who has opened the gate and offered the boy up to the invaders. Now Gudrid is caught between her desire to keep adventuring with Thorfinn and the guilt she feels for her part in Sigurd's fate. Meanwhile, the vicious, dizzying duel between Thorfinn and Garm rages on the rooftops... Includes volumes 22-24 of the Japanese edition of Vinland Saga and new bonus content.
