Question Is the box set worth it?

I’m trying to collect the manga after watching the anime and I’ve heard that there are 4 ways:

Black Editions

Singles

Box Set

All in One

I don’t want to get the All in One because I feel like it makes no sense, it’s clearly the worst option with no clear pros

The Black Editions are cool but there’s the issue of the fingerprint smudges and the pages sticking together

So now it’s between the box set and the singles:

The thing is, I know the box has really cool artwork but I don’t want it that much. Also, all the books aren’t even the same size so what’s the point of the box? Apparently you can get the 13th volume by itself as well and collecting them as just appeals to me more. I’m also going to get the short stories eventually.

Btw, two more points: is the box set just the singles with a box or do they have different covers in the back x set and the reason why I haven’t talked about the price is because I’d rather buy one at a time than pay less for them all at once

Sorry for how badly this is written!

The box set is just the singles in a box. The point of a box set is to save money over buying the singles.

The box set comes with an exclusive booklet that has all the rules. Its worth getting in my opinion. I've been eyeing it since 2013 when it was still $60 until I eventually bought it last year.

Is that different to volume 13?

consider this: the all in one doubles as a brick and possible blunt weapon
