There is some sun tanning, but it is readable. I bought it new at the time and have kept it on my bookshelf for many years. Please only purchase if you understand that this is a used item. This is the complete 43 volumes of Eleven. When I felt like giving up, reading this book gave me the courage to keep going. It taught me about the beauty of effort and how to face difficulties, things that are not often seen in today's world, during my youth. Also, soccer in this era was before Japan became strong, so I hope the current national team's success can be compared to the amazing progress in this manga. 1.2.6.7 First edition except for volumes 14-17.
