To mark the 35th anniversary of the manga Akira, PIE International is delighted to announce a new collection of classic Katsuhiro Otomo poster reprints. Throughout his long career, Katsuhiro Otomo has created many promotional posters for his film and manga works, as well as posters for events and advertising. Many great art pieces for such classic works as Akira, Memories, Short Peace, A Farewell to Weapons, and Domu were released only in this form, and have since become hard to obtain collector's items. Handpicked by Otomo-Sensei himself, the collection contains eighteen 20' × 14. 2' (508mm × 359mm) size color prints and two 40' × 28. 1' (1016mm×712mm) size color prints folded in four, in a specially designed envelope folder. Akira is a cyberpunk manga series by Katsuhiro Otomo. Considered a watershed title for the medium, the manga is also famous for spawning the seminal 1988 cyberpunk anime film adaptation of the same name. Katsuhiro Otomo is a manga artist and film director, who is best known as the creator of the manga Akira and its animated film adaptation.
