explanation: After WWIII, "Neo Tokyo" has been rebuilt on a reclaimed land. When a group of motor gangs conducted by Kaneda encounters an accident and his friend Testuo is severely wounded, the adventure begins. This futurist manga was written by Katsuhiro Otomo and published by "Young Magazine" of Kodansha between December 1982 and June 1990 while an anime version was released in 1988. The latter became a world wide success because of a surprising quality of animation.
