Whether you're new to Akira, a fan of the film who wants to read the manga, or a long-term diehard, this set is currently the best way to acquire the complete Akira manga series in English. It's great value at the "sale" price of $206 AUD (at time of writing) - though this is also the same price on every website I've looked it. It's listed with a a normal price of $340 AUD, which is still good for what you get if you can afford it - but at that price if all you want to do is read the manga it might be better value to buy the individual paperbacks.
This set comes in a nice sturdy box, the books are all hardcover, and you also get the "Akira Club" book, a collection of title page images (art not directly part of the story) that were in the original 80s manga issues but not in the collected volumes. Akira Club is good but inessential, though not currently sold by itself like the manga volumes are.
Overall, this is a bespoke and ultimate version of the Akira manga - an amazing work of art.

As expected with Amazon, the packaging for this product is absolutely terrible. It arrived looking like a second hand product. One flimsy bit of paper cardboard was used to try and prevent it bouncing round in a packing box way too large.
The product box has rub marks all over the inside and has worn the ink away in some spots on the books and product box, see the photo of my hand after I swiped it across the spine of one of the books.
The product box has impact marks on every corner also.
The books themselves are great when it comes to the content within.
I won't be buying any more books from Amazon, they invariably always get damaged.
