Thank you for viewing. First, I would appreciate it if you could check my profile. Eko Eko Azarak: Memory of the Dark Angel Photo Album The obi (paper band) is not included. Both the front and back covers have numerous fine scratches that are not visible in the images. Please assume there are folds, scuffs, and scratches on the outer edges, as shown in images 11 and 15. The inside is clean, and there should be no problem with reading it. Thank you.
