This is the first edition of Volume 1 of DRAGONBALL/Dragon Ball. First printing: September 15, 1985. [Cover Condition] There are minor scratches, scuffs, and small dents on the top of the spine, but the cover has little fading, and is in relatively good condition for its age. [Body Condition] There are a few millimeters of tears on the bottom of several pages. Also, there are lines on the spine, but there are no splits inside the book, and the binding is firm. In addition, there were no major damages such as writing or missing pages. Other than that, there are signs of aging such as sun damage, scuffs, and minor scratches, but there are few stains inside the pages, and it is in relatively good condition. There is no problem with reading. Also, no polishing has been done. Please forgive any oversights as this is a layman's inspection. This is only my subjective opinion, and it is a very old manga published about 41 years ago, so there may be sun damage, scratches, folds, etc. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition or are very sensitive. This is a very rare item, so it will be carefully packaged with a new transparent book cover and shipped anonymously.
