“Step into the cyberpunk world of Neo-Tokyo with this iconic Akira jacket,” the product’s description reads. “This jacket is a faithful recreation of the one worn by Kaneda, the leader of a motorcycle gang in the universally acclaimed manga Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo. Released for the 30th anniversary of the movie adaptation, this page-accurate Crunchyroll Exclusive was designed in Germany, where its ’80s-inspired details were meticulously crafted to replicate the iconic look.”
“Not only does this jacket look good, it’s stylish and will keep you warm while looking cool. It’s made from genuine red leather and features high-quality lining and functional clasps. Whether you’re an Akira fan or a cyberpunk fashion lover, the Akira jacket is a must-have for your wardrobe.”
For those curious, only 600 of these jackets were made, and it was created to honor the movie’s 30th anniversary. As you can imagine, it is a must-have for diehard fans of the cyberpunk classic even with the expensive tag. The manga replica screams style, and when compared to other high-end Akira cosplay pieces online, this Crunchyroll Store deal is pretty solid.
