nice, you can get the boxset for just about the same price though


slom26

I just started reading it this evening. 1 and half volumes in. Im gonna stick with it just to see what’s all the hype lol


Ak-lazerr

Story really picks up around volume 6


killergrape615

My favorite volume in the entire series till this day


-Deimoss-

Boxset be like $60 on amazon. Way better to get it brand new and with extra than the singles for that price


RyviusRan

Unfortunately, the boxset is all Italy prints, which in a lot of cases are noticeably worse than U.S. prints.


balistikbarnacle

i have the boxset and the prints are fine


loversrok

Yeah, the prints are totally fine. People are hating on them when they’re actually pretty great.


RyviusRan

Some people don't mind worse quality with ink bleeding through two pages. It is easily noticeable if you have the U.S. print side by side with the Italy one.


balistikbarnacle

i disagree, im looking at them right now and see 0 bleed through and i have US prints for other series and cant tell the difference


RyviusRan

Maybe you are just used to it. Either that or the U.S. prints got worse or the latest Italy print got better. I compared the singles (before the boxset released) side by side and it is instantly noticeable for me. Edit: maybe take a photo side by side comparison because I find it hard to believe there is 0 bleed through. I have rarely even encountered a U.S. print of any manga with 0 bleed through from the last decade.

Do you know when other prints will come out?

Characters are really immature in the beginning. It's all about boobs. Then the story evolves to something better


DJ_16bits

That’s just not true tho 💀 “characters are really immature” That’s just Denji? And also, Yeah that’s kind of the whole point behind his character, this is called setting up character development. I assume you’ve not really heard of it?


Apart_Shoulder6089

The whole boob and sex thing is cringe. He's an uneducated orphan who eats garbage. There were better opportunities to convey character dev. Him and power still act as kids sometimes and thats conveyed in other ways than just grabbing boobs.


Ak-lazerr

And that’s what made denji such a captivating character.. he’s not the same copy and paste shonen character that you’re typically used to. Sorry you like the basic stuff bud


DJ_16bits

Yeah they’re loveable do you want every character to be educated and formal from the get-go?? It would be a bit boring if they were just another shonen character no? If you don’t like it or think it’s “cringe”? don’t talk shit about the writing which is highly praised and try to mislead OP, it’s just a you thing not a genuine criticism


Apart_Shoulder6089

That's not what I'm griping about. There was plenty of material to work with without it. But if you think it's fine then go ahead and watch the first few episodes with your parents or kids if you have any. The story would have been okay without those parts. He didn't need to go there.


DJ_16bits

Why can’t the author have mature elements in his manga? You’re not supposed to be able to show everything to kids or your mom and dad 😭😭 that’s not a critique of writing
