Akira, a saga

Once in many a year you come across a supreme description of what you can call an excellent Manga. Akira is one of them. It is a story of how a once suppressed person becomes the world's largest psychic power and controls and rules the place he once used to live in. Akira really is one of the most entertaining manga I have ever read.

The way it chronicles each and every event concerning the epic battles between Tetsuo and Kaneda's teams, The Akira Characters etc. is a job that deserves nothing but appreciation. The resulting Akira Anime movie which was made in 1988 about this Manga was also a hit amongst the masses for its entertainment value.

What I loved best about Akira though were the repeated confrontations of Kaneda and Tetsuo. Especially the best part of the entire Manga was when Tetsuo openly told Kaneda that he refused to follow any of his further orders. People outside of Japan and the anime circles may not be used to Manga and find many of the things in such Anime quite outrageous by their expectations, but this is what Manga is really meant to be and therefore I'd suggest everyone first read the Manga before going on to watch the film.

This is because once you get to know what Manga is all about, you'd be able to better enjoy the Akira Anime film itself right from its start. Be rest assured as it won't spoil your experience, but only better it by leaps and bounds. So until then, I'm out and will be putting up my article on the Akira character profile on "Colonel".
