In 1984, the 29th―42nd 『AKIRA』 issue ―produced by Katsuhiro Otomo when he was 30 years old and serialized in Young Magazine when it was published twice a month from p201 of volume 2 of Yanmaga KC edition to p167 of volume 3 was published. Recorded in the same form as when it was published The third volume 『8 volumes』 of the Otomo Complete Works Edition AKIRA. This volume will also be published in a "serialized version" that inherits the recording specifications of volumes 1―2 and returns everything including the cover art to the state at the time of serialization as much as possible 『For details on the planning intention and editorial policy of the complete collection version 』AKIRA『, see 』For details on Katsuhiro Otomo Complete Works No. 12 AKIRA 1, see the content introduction). This volume also reprints valuable color pages and records them as they were when they were serialized, but what tends to be overlooked is the opposite, a ''monochrome reprint.''. For example, the fourth page at the beginning of Volume 3 of Yanmaga KC's edition, which includes ''Tetsuo being hit by SOL's laser attack,'' was a monochrome manuscript at the time of serialization, but when it was published as a book, it was replaced with a newly drawn color manuscript. Therefore, the original monochrome manuscript is not included in the book. Pages like this are ''monochrome reprinted'' in this book, allowing you to experience 『AKIRA』 in its original form at the time of publication. This can also be said to be one of the “fun” unique to the "serialized version"
