Much more action packed then the first volume, volume 2 really begins to pack in some amazing sequences for tetsuo and the other psychics to use their powers.

We also see some great illustrations of destroyed Tokyo, as well as some amazing scenes with newer cool technology.

Story wise this volume really built off the first one and serves as a more action packed sequence then a plot builder.

A lot of the volume revolves around a chase to Akira, complete with lasers, jet bike things, explosions, and freezing temperatures.

Liked this volume a lot and can’t wait to dive into vol. 3.

its good, i have two main complaints. 1) all the young characters look so similar, with the exception of  tetsuo, and i it find it hard to keep track of them and 2) i wish there were chapter breaks 😅

This one was almost ALL action and it is still pretty hard to follow!

3.5-4! a lot of action and a smaller cast of characters, so i kind of missed having a little bit of breathing room / character interaction, hoping for it in the future! maybe i just miss the biker gang...
