This is a picture book with charming illustrations and stories. - Title: Shinkan-kun Comes Home - Author: Sakunobumi - Publisher: Hustle Thank you for looking. No cover. No tears or writing. It is a normal used item. There are pages with creases from being turned, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I noticed a stain or something similar next to Shinkan-kun's eye on the last page with the publication date etc. Please check the photos.
