WooHoo!
Just been wandering about the web and came across a fine fact that some of you manga fans may be interested in.
Firstly, let me just say that if you're a proper Manga fan you'll A) already know this, and B) be getting ready to tell me that Akira has been available in English for ages had I only bothered to subscribe to Manga-Mania all those years ago.
But anyway, for the rest of you.
From April 26th all of "Akira" the original graphic novel will be available for purchase in the UK!
I bought volume 1 years ago and then waited many years for the release of volume 2.... it didn't happen and I plum forgot about the whole thing.
The recent release of Akira on DVD stirred up old memories of my love for its crazyness and so I pulled out the old Akira Graphic Novel part 1 and had a look through it.
Then it occurred to me that the remaining 5 parts might have gotten a little closer to release and indeed they were!
I'm not sure how long volumes 1-5 have been available (in full colour and completely translated etc) but the 6th and Final volume will be available in a couple of weeks!
Just to let you know.
I'm sure someone out there will appreciate it.
Perhaps not?
Good bye.

The only thing i recall about Akira is a guy on a motorcycle, care to fill in the blanks, anyone?
Back in the day they used to have Akira in every issue of Manga Mania, I had quite a few episodes. Didn't make much sense though...
My bro bought me volume 1 last Chrissy. It's proper right good! The only trouble is that each volume is about 25 quid, so collecting them is probably going to take several years.
I found another cool novel that Katsuhiro Otomo (akira bloke) did too, it's called Domu and it has a similar story to Akira, it also rules.
Just thought I'd say that. :)
