Kodansha's official Akira series page identifies the publisher's continuing edition of Katsuhiro Otomo's work.
Why it matters

Coverage
This accession-created authority record is deliberately limited to the supplied physical-object evidence; unsupported dates, personnel, locations, history and relationships are not inferred.
