![]() ![]() Worst was Star Wars: The Manga, where everything you remember from the movie happens… in the opposite direction. ![]() I recall reading Kia Asamiya’s Batman: Child of Dreams, where Two-Face’s halves were on the wrong sides. I’ve got some bad memories of that sort of s-t. Typically, if you see a manga and it reads left-to-right, then that means the publisher flipped the artwork and now everything is “backward”. ![]() When I picked up my copy of Akira Volume 1, my initial reaction was “Oh no, it reads from left-to-right.” In case you don’t know, Japanese comics read from right-to-left. I liked the movie, so Akira was an easy choice to read.īut before I get into the first volume of Otomo’s six volume series, I have to address something for posterity’s sake. It was one of those movies you stayed up late to watch on the Sci-Fi Channel in the wee hours of the early ’90s and, joining flicks like Wizards, Heavy Metal and Rock & Rule, was an early introduction into “adult cartoons”. Like most people my age, I’ve of course seen the 1988 film (adapted and directed by Otomo, animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha). ![]()
