First edition, 1996, Keibunsha Keibunsha It's not just 4-panel comics. There is some yellowing, minor scratches, and minor soiling from aging and storage. There is a hairline scratch on the spine cover, noticeable to the touch. I don't see any tears, graffiti, severe folding, severe stains, or spine splits. The cover is glossy, and there are no opening creases, so I think you can read it comfortably. Bulk discounts are welcome!
