Mother Sarah, Tome 9: Déflagrations

Set off by the bullet of a would-be assassin, Neo-Tokyo has been leveled by Akira's godlike psychic fury. Now cut off from the rest of world, the Great Tokyo Empire rises, with Akira its king, Tetsuo its mad prime minister, and a growing army of fanatic acolytes. Forces on the outside still search for a way to stop Akira, and the answer may lie in the hands of the mysterious Lady Miyako, a powerful member of Akira's psychic brotherhood. But the solution to harnessing Akira may ultimately be more dangerous than Akira himself!Author Biography: In 1982, manga modernist Katshuhiro Otomo created a worldwide literary sensation when Japan's Kodansha Publications released the first volume of his 3000 page sci-fi fable of the apocalypse, Akira. Few westerners had experienced manga (Japanese comics) before Akira, and its rocketing ascent through cultural divides helped impress a cynical world that had long been convinced that pictures in books should be relegated to children's stories. Now pictures were being used to tell one of man's most explosive and harrowing tales. Since his groundbreaking work on Akira, Mr. Otomo has completed a number of inspired manga classics, including the powerful post-apocalyptic Legend of Mother Sarah and the dark study of a child's dreams, Domu. Otomo's mastery of the manga artform was recognized with a top Japanese book award, the Grand Prix, awarded to him in honor of Domu in 1989. Dark Horse Comics published the first English-language versions of The Legend of Mother Sarah and Domu, and is currently publishing a true-to-its-original-form, black-and-white, six-volume re-issue of Akira.

Akira, tome 4

In the year 2019, a cataclysmic blast levels the city of Tokyo and triggers World War III. By 2030, the dazzling Neo-Tokyo rises from Tokyo's ashes, but the power that once sent the world to the brink of Armageddon-a being of monstrous telekinetic power known only as Akira-lives on in absolute-zero frozen stasis far below the city. Those who stand guard will stop at nothing to keep Akira from awakening, but an angry young man named Tetsuo, himself possessing of immense-and rapidly growing-psychic abilities, becomes obsessed with confronting Akira face-to-face. In time, Akira will surely awaken, and Tetsuo may be the only being potentially capable of controlling him, but Tetsuo is becoming increasingly unstable and violent, and a group including his former friend Kaneda sets out to destroy Tetsuo before he can release Akira-or before Tetsuo himself becomes so powerful that no force on Earth can stop him! One of the priceless gems of graphic fiction, Akira has sold millions of copies worldwide, and creator Katsuhiro Otomo stands as one a handful of universally acknowledged masters of the form. Unavailable for over a decade in America, and never before published Stateside in its original form, Akira is required reading for any fan of science fiction, manga, and the graphic novel.

Akira, tome 2

Sarah vient de retrouver sa fille Satoko alors que la guerre fait toujours rage. Elle sauve le couvent dans lequel celle-ci vivait, avant de repartir à la recherche de ses autres enfants.

Mother Sarah, Tome 5: Soupçons

Welcome to the vampire city of Saruta, where the sun never rises, and all the vampire children love trying to stay up late. Hipira is a precocious young vampire whose best friend is a fairy named Soul. Hipira and Soul are an odd couple to say the least, and their games, pranks and adventures are extraordinary even for dwellers of this supernatural city. Hipira is a delightfully bright twist to traditionally dark subject matter. Filled with fun, wonder and heart, the illustrations look like they have been pulled off the screen of a top-flight animated feature. Hipira is a children's book like no other, one that will appeal to readers of all ages.

Hipira

Néo-Tokyo, an 2019. Nous sommes trente-huit ans après la troisième Guerre mondiale. Le grand cataclysme a dévasté la planète. Depuis, le monde a entamé sa reconstruction. La capitale japonaise n'est plus qu'une espèce de gigantesque poubelle high-tech. Une nuit, une bande de jeunes motards fait une rencontre étrange : celle d'un enfant au visage de vieillard, doté de bien curieux pouvoirs. Ils ne le savent pas encore, mais le processus de réveil d'Akira vient de commencer... Sombre vision d'un futur aux allures d'apocalypse, Akira dépeint une société en perdition livrée aux enfants mutants, aux sectes religieuses et aux forces surnaturelles. Avec son sens du mouvement et de la vitesse, le dynamisme de son graphisme et son hyperréalisme, cette saga, entamée en 1982, est l'une des oeuvres majeures de l'histoire des mangas. Elle est née de l'imagination de Katsuhiro Otomo, un auteur qui a largement contribué à faire reconnaître le genre hors des frontières de son pays natal. --Gilbert Jacques

Akira, Tome 8: Déluge

Akira, Tome 2: Cycle  Wars

Les pérégrinations démentes de Tetsuo, Kay et Kaneda se poursuivent avec le sens du rythme et la force trépidante du dessin d'Otomo. 
Véritable phénomène de société, Akira a drainé un nouveau public qui savoure avec un plaisir jubilatoire cet hymne à la liberté. 
Une science-fiction de rêve !
