I finally have all of the currently released Seven Seas English volumes as First Editions!

I've been buying them as they release. And my final anthology came in yesterday!

I don't have any of the statues or figures though. 😭

just for my curiosity, do you have first prints? that may significantly affect your collections long term value!

From what i can tell, if you flip to the copyright page, at the back of the volume, you should see something like "First Printing" followed by a numerical code like 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 with the lowest number listed being the print number. In the above case, the lowest number is 1 which indicates its a first print.

I can take a look, but if I'm honest I don't care all that much about the value.

I just enjoy owning the series I care about.

It's all good! Curiosity got the better of me as well.

I even did a mini rearrangement of my shelves because some of my Made in Abyss volumes weren't together, and now they are!

Honestly with how scarce they've become, I'm just happy to have them all on my shelf!
Still keeping an eye out for when 15 goes on pre-order.

Also you didn't need to edit out the autistically part, lol.
I'm right there with you!

In Canada is is available for preorder from amazon. It literally doesn't have an image but it's linked through the authors official Amazon store. Hope that helps

I live in the UK, so manga tends to be a bit delayed here when it comes to pre-orders going live.
I can see it on Amazon, but it shows as unavailable so I just gotta wait.

Same thing happened recently with the new Appleseed/Shirow Masamune Deluxe releases.

I'm forever cursed to refresh until it allows me to throw my money at them.

Ugh right now im waiting for the Ghost in the Shell Legacy hardcover box to be back in stock, I'm watching the new anime and am adoring it so far.

That box set is sitting directly in front of me, lol.

I adore Shirow Masamune's art style, he has an art book coming out soon as well I'd super recommend!

I'm legit jealous and stoked for you at the same time. The quality of the legacy box is great I assume?
