The animated film version of "AKIRA" was released in theaters in 1988 and has revolutionized the world of animation beyond the realm of manga. This book is the second volume of a two-volume collection of storyboards drawn by the original author and director, Katsuhiro Otomo himself, for the production of the anime version. This book contains the second half of the four parts (A, B, C, and D) that make up the entire film, as well as new elements such as previously unreleased cuts and the author's own commentary pages. The storyboard of this book was started after the author stopped the serialization of the original manga version "AKIRA" around 1987 to make the movie version. The old storyboard collection published by the Young Magazine editorial department in 1988 in both upper and lower volumes went out of print after a short period of time, and the lower volume, which is the latter part of the storyboard, was particularly difficult to find.
