Akira, Vol. 3 by Katsuhiro Otomo
5.0

What an ending to this volume. I took way too long reading this one so it seemed more disjointed than the last two which I blew through. I wasn’t initially on board with the characters that were introduced (the disciples of Lady Miyako), besides Chiyoko who is one of my favorites now, and I felt like the story was a little wandering and circuitous, but it cleaned itself up nicely by literally blowing everything up and hinting at some clearer lines in the sand. I know Kaneda’s not really gone, but how the hell did he survive?
