Akira is one of those titles where even the posters feel like world-building. Otomo’s visual language—spanning the manga, film, and countless tie-ins—has echoed through anime, comics, fashion, and beyond. We’ve been lucky (and obsessed) enough to handle almost every Japanese Akira poster from the 1980s, from everyday video-shop sheets to ultra-rare bookstore speed posters—many documented in AKIRA CLUB but seldom seen as originals. Below is a curated line-up of nineteen favourites we’ve owned or stocked, including iconic B1 movie posters, rare Young Magazine displays, and the Marvel/Kodansha crossover that helped take Akira global.
