Akira #3 - A landmark cyberpunk manga series by Katsuhiro Otomo, originally published in serialized form in Japan during the 1980s.

Set in the post-World War III neo-Tokyo, this issue continues the intertwining threads of revolution and mystery. The Olympic construction site becomes ground zero for an explosion orchestrated by anti-government rebels, while a secret government project involving a powerful psychic child named Akira awakens from a dream state. Young delinquent Kaneda finds his street authority challenged when his friend Tetsuo, following a mysterious highway accident, begins manifesting dangerous and growing psychokinetic powers. As tensions escalate between the government, the rebels, and the streets, the story builds toward a breaking point where nothing will remain the same.
