Select a unit or edition to calculate coverage.
The Akira 35th Anniversary Box Set contains six story hardcovers, the Akira Club art book and a patch. The seventh hardcover is not a seventh story volume. The calculator therefore maps story units 1–6 and lists Akira Club separately.
Count reading coverage and physical books separately
If you already own the first four corresponding story volumes, the set repeats 1–4 and adds 5–6. The art book may add a different kind of material, but it does not change the result from two new story units to three.
This map does not establish page-for-page equivalence between every Akira printing. The publisher describes this set’s original Japanese art and right-to-left format; we do not extrapolate that into claims about translation, color, paper or all earlier editions. Verify which format you own before treating it as equivalent coverage.
Check the exact anniversary package
The box-set ISBN identifies this package, not a single hardcover or a separate Akira Club copy. If a retailer lists six books, ask whether that means the story set alone or the full named package with its art book and patch. The source record cannot prove the contents of a particular used listing.
See why guidebooks and art books stay outside the story count for other examples. The numbered artwork here is schematic and does not reproduce Otomo’s art.
