This is "In the Veil of Night," a collection of lyrical masterpiece short stories by Hideo Azuma. This item is a rare "with obi" (original paper band) edition. Published in 2006 by Chikuma Shobo as part of the "LEGEND ARCHIVES COMICS" series, this book is now out of print and difficult to obtain. It's a collection that perfectly captures the essence of Azuma's world, blending early absurdism with lyricism. [Condition] With obi (the spine of the obi shows some fading, but there are no tears). Appearance: The cover has very slight scuffing from storage, but overall it is in good condition with a glossy finish. Text: There is very slight yellowing on the top and bottom edges due to age, but the pages inside are very clean and pose no problem for reading. I have kept this in my collection with great care. I hope to pass it on to a fan who has been looking for it, or to someone who will cherish it.
