One Piece 1st Printing Vol 49 First Edition Shohan Manga Japanese 2008 Jump R1

About this deal

This is a Japanese first-edition (shohan) tankoubon of One Piece, the manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda . Published in Japan by Shueisha under their Jump Comics imprint, the series is collected into tankoubon volumes, each gathering a run of chapters. Volume 49 sits within the Thriller Bark Arc, in which the Straw Hats arrive at a haunted island-ship called Thriller Bark, where their shadows are stolen by the Shichibukai Gecko Moria and they must hurry to recover them before sunrise. Shohan (first printing) copies are particularly sought after by collectors. First-edition One Piece volumes are distinguished by specific cover art, print details, and publisher marks that appear only in initial prints, and these editions often contain original colour pages. Each Japanese volume is released with a dust jacket featuring the volume's main cover art, spine, author's notes, and publishing information, with the cover art being full colour and headed by the series logo and volume number. This copy is listed in Very Good condition, making it an appealing addition for series fans or manga collectors.
