30 years after, Neo Tokyo is a thriving city full of technology, but the government's greed to control an overwhelming power will lead to their destruction once again.
"Akira" was the first manga to explore the potential of a cyberpunk sprawl's underground system.
It's also incredible how well the destruction of Neo Tokyo is portrayed and how much it changes.
