This is the final volume of the international edition, a 12-volume set published over 30 years ago. I purchased two copies at the time, so I am listing this one with a different serial number. I believe it was a made-to-order publication with a limited print run. I also recall that there were no reprints. Therefore, only the final 12th volume is serial-numbered. It has been stored in a dark place, so I believe the condition is very good for a book from 30 years ago. The outer vinyl packaging is present, but there is some soiling on the edges. At the time, I opened the vinyl only at the opening to check the contents. Due to the nature of the product, no claims or returns are accepted. The work AKIRA is highly regarded internationally. As this item is the English edition, it will not lose its value overseas. It comes with a white band that holds the five volumes together. You can see that this item is untouched! This is a rare item, so if you've been looking for it, don't miss out!! If you have connections overseas, don't hesitate! ・Author: Katsuhiro Otomo ・Title: AKIRA ・Volumes: №34～38 ・Published: September 20, 1996, First Edition ・S/N: 1985 ・Condition: The interior is like new, but there is some soiling on the exterior.
