It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen an adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira, but with Taika Waititi’s recent attachment to a new live-action film based on the original manga, now seems like a perfect time to dive into some of the differences an adaptation of the manga will bring to the big screen. So if you’ve only seen the anime film and you’re wondering who Lady Miyako is and why she has a man's voice (in the dub), or you’re wondering why Akira never actually made an in-the-flesh appearance, we’ll highlight some of the differences in the manga we can’t wait to see come to the big screen. Especially when the anime ends at just about the halfway mark of the manga, approximately a thousand pages before its conclusion.
