First Print ONE PIECE Vol. 111 Japanese Language Manga with Original Obi

About this deal

One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, which has spawned a wide media franchise including animated and live-action television series, films, and merchandise. Volume 111 is titled Adventure in Elbaph and is published in Japanese by Shueisha. It was released on 4 March 2025. The volume is aimed at fans of the long-running shonen series and those reading in Japanese, and is suitable for collectors looking for an authentic original edition. In the manga world, a first print (dai-issatsu) is uniquely identifiable and carries additional markers that later prints do not, such as the original obi strip and printing dates. The obi is a paper band that wraps around the lower portion of the volume at the point of sale, and is printed by the publisher to carry promotional text, pricing, the series name, volume number, and announcements relevant to that specific release. A first print with its original obi intact is rarer and commands a premium above an identical copy without one, as most readers slide it off and discard it without a second thought. This copy is in Very Good condition.
