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.
