The epic, timeless hit that inspired the legendary anime film and made the word “manga” part of the global vocabulary returns in a new hardcover edition. The AKIRA Hardcover Collection features the original right-to-left manga reading format and Katsuhiro Otomo’s original, hand-drawn sound effects in a beautiful, large-sized collectible edition. Thirty-eight years have passed since the end of World War III, and the megalopolis of Neo-Tokyo has sprung from the bones of the devastated old city. By night, the borderlands between glittering towers and irradiated ruins are ruled by criminals, cultists, and street gangs. Two childhood friends (and rivals), Kaneda and Tetsuo, ride with one of these gangs. By day, the military and a secret elite toy with the psychic phenomena that caused the devastation in the first place. A high-speed incident on a decrepit express road will lead to a collision between Tetsuo, Kaneda, and forces they cannot hope to understand and that will change them forever… The AKIRA Hardcover Collection features the updated translation and lettering of the 35th Anniversary Edition box set, now collectible one book at a time. As in the box set, this six-volume version of the masterwork of Katsuhiro Otomo (Memories, Steamboy, Domu: A Child’s Dream) features the creator’s Japanese-language, hand-drawn sound effects and the original, right-to-left manga reading format in a 7″x10″ casewrap hardcover.

Attack on Titan: Colossal Edition is an oversized collection of the first five volumes of the Attack on Titan manga series. Weighing in at a massive 960 pages and a 7-inch by 10.5-inch trim, the Colossal Edition contains the same material as the original volumes, but bigger and on higher-quality paper.

Blast beyond the bounds of black and white, and revisit six of the most consequential episodes of Attack on Titan, remastered in full color. This premium volume also includes the originallysubmitted draft of Episode 2—an intriguingly divergent story that has never been published in English before. Curated by the editors, fans, and creator Hajime Isayama himself, this is the capstone of any Titan manga collection!
