Akira Volume 5

Product Information

As you already know, Kei reveals she has feelings for Kaneda. As you might guess, Kaneda flips out with flattery, at first, but then another side of him surfaces, showing a change in him, a strengthening of his character through the difficulties of the novel. I thought Otomo did well with this characterization technique. After confronting the JSDF, Kaneda, Kei, and Tetsuo are taken into military custody and held in a highly secure skyscraper in Neo-Tokyo. Kei soon escapes after becoming possessed as a medium by another Esper, Kiyoko. Kei/Kiyoko briefly does battle with Tetsuo and frees Kaneda. After rapidly healing from his wounds, Tetsuo inquires about Akira and forces Doctor Onishi, a project scientist, to take him to the other espers: Takashi, Kiyoko, and Masaru. There, a violent confrontation unfolds between Tetsuo, Kaneda, Kei, and the Espers. The Doctor decides to try to let Tetsuo harness Akira — the project's test subject that destroyed Tokyo — despite Tetsuo's disturbed personality. Upon learning that Akira is being stored in a cryogenic chamber beneath Neo-Tokyo's new Olympic Stadium, Tetsuo escapes the skyscraper with the intent of releasing Akira. Schilling, Mark (1997).

Un poco menos de acción que en los volúmenes anteriores, vemos a un Tetsuo debatiéndose entre mantenerse humano o ceder a un poder que poco a poco lo va engullendo. Los personajes evolucionan y entran en juego más variantes, los militares americanos, pero no sé que recorrido puede tener esa subtrama, si simplemente es un relleno para darle algo de acción a la historia. According to Dolores P. Martinez, the serial nature of the work influenced the storyline structure, allowing for numerous sub-plots, a large cast, and an extended middle sequence. This allowed for a focus on destructive imagery and afforded Otomo the chance to portray a strong sense of movement. [8] The work has no consistent main character, but Kaneda and Tetsuo are featured the most prominently throughout. [8] Publication [ edit ] The image model for the character Akira was Shōryū from Saiyūki (1960). Otomo liked his sorrowful expression and used him as a reference after deciding to make Akira a child. [17] While editing his film Jiyū wo Warera ni, Otomo would often hear someone in the studio next door yell "Akira!", which he took to be the name of the assistant director. Because in the film industry the name "Akira" is often used to refer to Akira Kurosawa, Otomo "thought that gap" was funny and decided to use the name in his work one day. [17] The character names Tetsuo and Kaneda, and the Espers' codenames of Nos. 25–28, were taken from Tetsujin 28-go. [15] [16] [17] Kaneda's iconic motorcycle from the manga had no specific design. So Otomo said it came out "kind of random" and changed every time he drew it. [17] The character Chiyoko was originally designed to be an old man, but Otomo felt that was too ordinary and "a little boring" and came up with the idea for an old lady, which then became a large old lady. The character grew on him as he drew and she ended up with a greater role than he originally planned. [17] Otomo posing on a replica of the futuristic motorcycle driven by Kaneda in Akira (2016)

I'm still ecstatic about what Otomo has decided to go for with this series. With the tone having suddenly changed last volume, this one combines the more in-depth storytelling of that one with the fast-paced action of earlier bits. It's creating a story worth calling epic. a b c d "Bridging the Gap between US Comics and Manga with Kodansha USA". Anime News Network. November 5, 2015 . Retrieved September 25, 2021.

After Akira's release in Volume 2, both Colonel Shikishima's soldiers and followers of a former Esper named Lady Miyako begin scouring Neo-Tokyo in search for him. Kaneda, Kei, and a third Resistance member, Chiyoko, attempt to find refuge with Akira on Nezu's yacht. However, Nezu betrays them and kidnaps Akira for his own use, attempting to have them killed. They survive the attempt, and manage to snatch Akira from Nezu's mansion. The Colonel, desperate to find Akira and fed up with the government's tepid response to the crisis, mounts a coup d'etat and puts the city under martial law. The Colonel's men join Lady Miyako's acolytes and Nezu's private army in chasing Kaneda, Kei, Chiyoko, and Akira through the city.

We could collapse at any time during the battle...and to start all over then will be too late. If that moment comes, her youth and willpower will be our last fortress and redoubt."

ISBN 1-56639-986-6.An animated film adaptation released in 1988 shortened the plot considerably, but retained many of the manga's primary characters and plot elements alongside additional scenes, settings, and motifs. The film was similarly lauded and has served as a significant influence to the anime industry and sci-fi media as a whole. [8] The adaptation also marked Otomo's transition from a career primarily in manga to one almost exclusively in anime.
