David, if they ever hardcover Akira, I'll sell them.


The reason I want them is because, as mentioned, Book 6 was never produced. I have Books 1-5 myself, and would like to bind what would be basically vol 6.

Hmmmm.

Akira was the one Dark Horse manga project that I didn't touch at the time (already overloaded with 3 monthlies, Super Manga Blast, and Lone Wolf & Cub). The Dark Horse edition (exactly reprinted by Kodansha today) has a more accurate translation, but uses the French "westernized" film as a starting point, which is why the sound effects are a bit weird.

I'd be happy to take those color HCs off your hands, David!
