I'm selling this beloved manga due to decluttering. It's very interesting and also educational, with solid historical research. Although you wouldn't guess it from the cover of volume 1, it's a romantic comedy. I bought these new at a bookstore. All five volumes are first editions and come with the obi strips. The top edges are slightly sun-faded (photo ④). Volume 1 has a crease on the inside cover (photo ⑦). Otherwise, there are no scratches, and the inside is in good condition. Please understand that these are used and have been stored at home before purchasing. There are no smokers or pets. I will wrap them in cushioning material and take waterproof measures before shipping. I may also use recycled materials for packaging. Thank you for your understanding.
