This girl was a victim

Bitch deserved to die

Kaori is the reason I can never rewatch Akira. It always bums me out. All that little girl did was suffer.
I was hoping she would get a good ending in the manga. But alas it didn't happen.

She gets it even worse in the manga. She basicallyshows up as one of Tetsuo's post-apocalyptic sex slaves and gets forced fed drugs, gets stuck "taking care" of Tetsuo and actually taking care of autistic Akira and gets shot dead for almost no reason by Tetsuo's 2nd in command.

ugh, same here. The whole bit with that just seemed, well mean.
>>152494955
kaori had a hard life
>>152494955
She was reduced to fluid and absorbed by a giant posthuman. You wish you were that immortal.

It was extremely painful
How is the manga compared to the anime?
I heard it is quite different.
>>152498554
Weird I literally JUST read the whole 2000+ page tome tonight on a whim and heres this thread, the movie only has half the manga's content so you can guess how much it leaves out
The fuck ever happened to Ryu btw?
Are Akira's main cast of hoodlum characters basically the black people of Japan?
>>152498554
it just covers a lot more. Tetsuo isn't just the final boss of a long ride like in the movie, there's several weeks after tokyo is destroyed and the whole thing breaks down into warring tribes, cause the UN ropes it off because nobody knows what the fuck is going on

They're more like white punks who do crimes to escape the tedium of everyday life, if you want to compare them to American stereotypes.

Manga ending is pretty shit desu.
>>152498701
All endings are shit, I don't think I've read a manga that ended well which wasn't a doujin, and those typically end well because they make me ejac.
