Akira #17
Synopsis
The waters have receded from the city of Neo-Tokyo revealing the wounds below. Once gleaming skyscrapers lean at dizzying angles, their jagged, pitted facades gaping stupified at the sky. In the canyons of these buildings, surrounded by their rubble, huddle the cold, the hungry, the hurt, the dying--and the countless dead. For the dazed people left in Neo-Tokyo it is a daily struggle just to survive. There is the gentle Lady Miyako who has thrown open her temple doors to those who seek refuge. And in the west there is talk of a god-like figure who tends to the hungry and has been seen healing the injured--the Emperor Akira.
