I read this with a book cover on, so I think it's in good condition, but the obi (paper band) has a slight scratch. Please understand that this is a used item! It was quite difficult to obtain, and I got it about 4 years ago after going around various bookstores. It doesn't seem to be available as an e-book either. Please consider this opportunity. If you'd like to buy multiple items, I'll take off 200 yen for the shipping cost, so please request a combined purchase. ✨ #KyukyuManga
