Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Akira, Vol. 1 by Katsuhiro Otomo.
“A breathless, image-driven start to a sprawling manga set in NeoTokyo, Vol. 1 throws readers into kinetic street brawls, claustrophobic lab sequences, and sudden psychic ruptures. What works best is its cinematic panel choreography and world-building through art: you feel the city’s scale and the fragile grip on order. Limitation: character interiority is often conveyed through action and visual shock rather than quiet exposition, and the plot prioritizes momentum over tidy answers—expect a cliffhanger more than closure.”
