Akira — Complete 6-Volume Set (鉄雄→金田)｜Otomo Katsuhiro, Original Japanese KC Deluxe Tankōbon (Kodansha, KCDX-11–339)
Otomo Katsuhiro's AKIRA — the post-apocalyptic epic widely credited with opening manga to Western readers. Serialized in Young Magazine from 1982 to 1990 and collected here as the six original Japanese KC Deluxe tankōbon: 鉄雄 / AKIRA / AKIRA-II / ケイ / KAY-II / 金田.
Read right-to-left in the original Japanese, the way Otomo drew it. Each volume opens with a handful of full-color plates before the black-and-white interior, and the page edges of every volume are dyed a different color — a KC Deluxe signature that lines up into a spectrum across the spines. Sourced and curated in Tokyo.
Edition & Printing
Kodansha KC Deluxe — complete Vol. 1–6 (catalog nos. KCDX-11, 12, 13, 14, 166, 339). These are later printings, not first editions. Interior is primarily black-and-white with color plates opening each volume. Original Japanese language, right-to-left.
Condition
All six volumes with dust jackets present, clean and well-kept, no major damage. A removable retail barcode sticker is present on the rear of some volumes. Photos represent the actual set — please grade from the images.
Shipping
All items ship from Tokyo, Japan via EMS with full tracking and insurance. Estimated delivery is 5–8 business days to Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and 11–14 business days to the United States after dispatch. Every item is carefully packed to protect all volumes in transit.
About Shipping
I only ever charge the actual, official postage — never a markup. Shipping is based on Japan Post's official EMS rate table. Please see the rate for your region here:

If you are located in a region with special zone rates (for example, Cyprus or other outlying areas), the listed shipping may differ slightly. In that case, please message me before purchasing and I will correct it to the exact official rate.
Note for customers in the United States
Please note: under current U.S. import rules, sellers are now required to pre-pay customs duties before shipping (via an approved app called "Zonos"). This requirement is unique to the United States. In most other countries, import duties are paid by the buyer on delivery — but for U.S. orders, I must pay these duties up front on your behalf. For this reason, the cost of U.S. customs duties will be added to the item price. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your understanding.
