| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Volume 3 Discussion: === The ending of this volume moved me. Katsuhiro Otomo is a genius. The explosion (or implosion?) was drawn so masterfully, it was almost real. I can't put it into words, the last part was just simply amazing.  What moved me even more was that, just before the explosion, it alternated between Akira's surroundings, and people going about their normal lives. That had a real impact, because when I was shown the explosion, I knew it's not just a kick ass explosion: It's hundreds or maybe even thousands of lives suddenly being reduced to nothing. *tearless cry* |
| I don't think anything can top Akira's phenomenal showing of total and utter destruction of human civilization(the city). I was in shock and my jaw was on the floor near the end of this volume. A complete almost near nuclear destruction that gives a readers such an emotional feeling of helplessness against this force of unnatural power. This book is out of this world. I can't believe I only started reading this last week. |
 |
| What a screwed up place to die in. The explosion feels so ordinary in this world that it's hard to feel any emotion. |
| Was spectacular!! The explosion, and after the buldings colapse, was cool!!!! |
| The "characters time management' was pretty great in this manhunt volume. Tetsuo barely gets the beginning and ending pages plus a mention in the middle of the tome but his last apparition makes quite an impact , even after such a demonstration of power by Akira. 5/5 |
| Kaneda died? Oh god. |
| The length of this is pretty overwhelming given they made a ~2hr movie out of this. Have to admit it was feeling pretty monotonous after the first couple volumes, but this one had me gripped, especially the last bit of it. Looking forward to seeing if the momentum holds up. Can't believe I'm only halfway through this, lol. |
| Ohhh, the explosion was sick. It even caused black tornados. Great drawings. I think the story can only get better from this point on Wait, Kaneda... he can't be. On the other hand, grandma is tough man. |
 |
| Honestly wasn't feeling this series up until this chapter. But this chapter was....wow. Pretty powerful. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Hahaha, well damn. We all thought Akira was a force to be reckoned with, but it turns out the real threat the whole time was mama Chiyoko whipping out the BIG guns. And how hilarious that military grade battle droids that were built to withstand a nuclear blast still have one fatal weakness: a cinderblock. Fun chapter! |
