This is the third (and final) volume of a three-volume compilation of the enormous amount of layouts, original drawings, and revisions used in the production of the film version of “AKIRA” that were drawn by the original author and director Katsuhiro Otomo himself.

The original drawings and layouts for “Part C (continuation from the previous volume) and Part D,” which make up two of the four parts (A, B, C, D) of the entire film, are included, along with valuable replica cels of numerous iconic scenes created based on them.

As with the previous two volumes, this volume is almost entirely printed in color, and it contains the largest number of replica cels among the three volumes. It also includes the largest fold-out pages ever, and the total page count is approximately 675 pages. Since this is the final volume, an “explanation” by the author is included at the end.
