This is a collection of works by Sachiko Nishitani, including the complete "Students' Path" and five short stories. It is A4 size, magazine format. It is a cut-and-bound book, so the binding year is unknown. I bought this book because she is my favorite (even now) shojo manga artist. There is no significant damage, but the edges, top, and bottom of the pages are starting to discolor. The contents include: Long story: "Students' Path," complete in two parts. Short stories: "Meg, Your Tears" - 60 pages "Our Ballad" - 60 pages "Rose Girl" - 56 pages "Love is a Body Blow" - 29 pages "Love's One-Sided Dimple" - 50 pages In my opinion, the stories are well-made. There are no problems with reading them, but please consider this as a reference. I hope you will consider purchasing this based on the above information. The price includes shipping and handling fees, so I cannot offer any discounts.
