I purchased these books new from a bookstore. I stored them with other manga in a dedicated plastic case, away from direct sunlight. There are no smokers in the household. As these were stored by a private individual, there may be some minor sun damage, scratches, and wear and tear, but there are no major tears or stains. I have included photos of any noticeable issues, so please take a look. Regarding the covers, they have a smooth texture that is prone to scratches, unlike regular paper, so please be aware of this. I tried my best to handle them with care, but if you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. I apologize. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Thank you for looking!
