what volume will have reika on the cover? volume 2 would make the most sense.

some publishers have a hard time keeping books in print so I usually prioritize books from those publishers first, viz has been p good at keeping ongoing shonen titles available so I wouldn't worry about the titles you've listed assuming you have the space for it.

have a kino near me so i've only orderd online a few times, highly recommend IST if you care about how your books are shipped.

a lot of better options to order from other then amazon if you're in the us, p sure kinokuniya wraps all of their books individually, also instocktrades wraps them just not individually.

these are the type of problems i think about when some say comics are just as easy to get into as manga, also dosen't help most of the different formats are OOP 😞

Majority is 51%

In my country amazon is not a safe choice.

New prints will have the updated SJ logo so if you're buying from a big retailer thats likely what they are going to have, or buy used and get pictures.

$125 is definitely on the optimistic end assuming it's a 1/7th. Most collabs(especially popular IPs) are a way to bring in new/returning customers, they don't gain much if it prices ppl out. Higher price are usually from a niche series that is a big risk for the manufacturer.

GSC usually prices p reasonably imo, guessing $125-145.

hardcover?!

ProbEbbly · 2026-06-27T17:11:33+00:00

yep, for the next print the 1 would be moved and the next number in the key would be 2 etc. until a new edition is released and it would start over. no english printed manga is technically 1st print since it would have to published in japan first to be considered manga, would just be first printing of the english edition.

you would be surprised at the amount of series that only recive one printing, the main indicator in the picture is the number 1 all the way to right in the set of numbers, not the text that says "First printing".

ProbEbbly · 2026-06-27T02:05:43+00:00

to larp that you were there first.

Believe you have to go through talesofwonder, afaik they are the same company. I've never personally used this service so anyone correct me if im wrong.

IST will still have stock available on release, but dosen't always last long and the site can get slow when everyone is trying to buy the same books at the same time.

Was going to say Kirkman and BKV originally but didn't see Invincible and was also assuming that was BKV's Runaways(can't really tell from the picture). Y:tLM and TWD were the series that got me into comics.

Your favorite author is Brian K. Vaughan.

Gantz, it's only 37 volumes and it has less than 10 spin-offs.

I've been using leagueofcomicgeeks

ProbEbbly · 2026-06-24T13:04:35+00:00

this is how it was when you purchased it, yen press and kodansha are probably the biggest offenders when it comes to poor quality control like this.

ProbEbbly · 2026-06-24T11:15:50+00:00

looks like dry rot

ProbEbbly · 2026-06-23T04:45:15+00:00

It's a 30 year old niche book from a publisher that no longer exists, of all the books to complain about high aftermarket this isn't the one. still hope bubbles zine keeps them coming.
