Manga Thoughts: Akira

At some point early in the 1990s, in a way now obscured by time, I became aware of an animated movie called Akira. It took about a decade for me to see that movie from Japan, and until now to read all of the manga it had sprung from. While I know I'm slower than some at getting around to certain much-mentioned works, this particular gap of time does stand out. A few things might have affected it, though.
