Plot Summary:
In the year 2038. A police state, scheming politicians, religios sects, revolutionaries and a secret scientific project all combine to produce an explosive mixture in Neo-Tokyo. The rival groups all have their eyes on one prize: control of Akira, a boy of such destructive psychic ability that he has been held in cryo-stasis for over 30 years. A coup is planned, but there is a wild card in play: the psychic Tetsuo, an impetuous young biker who releases Akira and so forces all of the groups to make their move.

Comment:
The manga was previously licensed by Marvel Comics under the Epic Comics label. Marvel's version was colorized and severely edited. Katsuhiro Otomo was also apparently commissioned to draw a completely different ending to the series.
Dark Horse Comics currently has the manga in its uncolored, unedited entirety. TOKYOPOP has the film comic adaptation of the movie.
