Well that would be personal sellers or businesses doing that mark up. But its still nuts out there for box sets atm its just a crazy market atm

There’s something called backordering so stuff like that shouldn’t concern you

​@TheMangaSloth, the reason one piece can not have a complete box ask if they haven't completed it yet. Could you imagine the price when they do that will probably be a thousand bucks plus. That's coming up pretty shortly. I heard there are going to try to get close to the end.

@@higurashianduminekoconnect1702 the series is to long for a complete box set, it’s like 140 manga in total when it finishes probably

Box sets are more better cause they are most likely not used but singles can

Thanks! That would be awesome if they made box sets for everything!

Yeah im kinda the opposite on buying. I always start series with singles when they start so when box sets come I have to sell and buy the set or live without the box. But like you said good luck finding them in stock recently. They just need printed non stop!

Sloth gives you what you need

Looks like you can still get the box set from yen press website! Its a great series glad you like it

@@TheMangaSloth thanks so much for letting me know!

Is it really that good? I see people say it’s one of the best manga box sets but idk anything about the story can u give a synopsis

​@@underkoverist5254four months late but here u go: The setting is basically Alice in Wonderland, the mangaka took heavy inspiration from that story. There are tea parties, mad hatters, alternate dimensions, etc. It's a battle shounen with a really strong, intricate storyline (though it is confusing in the beginning), and a unique power system, once again influenced by AiW. I'd say the three best parts about the story, are themes, plot twists and character writing. PH deals with themes of identity and fate vs free will better than any animanga I've seen, the themes are never shoved down your throat, but always present, and executed to perfection. The plot twists, well PH has the best in anything I've seen hands down, the story is written so well that and the twists are absolutely insane. Lastly, the characters, PH has one of the best casts in animanga imo. The mangaka takes time to develop not only the MC and main antagonist, but pretty much every side character, and it works. It doesn't feel forced, the characters fit into the story, while also getting their own motivations, inner conflicts and trials. It goes deep into the thoughts of each character, and makes them feel real, you can understand them so deeply. PH is actually a masterpiece, and I hope this comment convinces you to give it a read (if you even see it lol)

@@Jrzya damn bro I stopped caring about manga not too long ago but I might try it again based on how you speak on ph. Do you like the anime or nah cus i don’t hear people talking about it but the manga box set costs a shit ton

Thanks Laura! I know they box sets for Ouran were floating around 70-110 on amazon when they got printed again so hopefully they do or you can find one cheaper. Box sets are just so crazy anymore with after market prices!

Welcome to manga collecting!! Most all box sets are a bit of a pain to get atm but I hope you can get the ghoul box set soon!

Like personally build one? Prob not but it would be nice to have some boxes for others

Legend!

Yes I know they acre called slipcases. I just say open box. I have collected may comics etc outside manga before all of this and thats all I ever called them lol

@@TheMangaSloth :)

@@Rorschachqp OHHHH I never said but your name is 🔥 Hes my favorite Watchmen

wow thats a great deal!

Npnpnp my dude

Cool set to start on. Also welcome to manga collecting!

Yeah with FM my opinion would be to get the full metal editions if possible. They are just too great to not get!

I'm the other way I got the FMA boxset a few years ago and thinking of selling so I can buy the metal editions.

@@0MrScruff0 Metal editions are the way to go IMO!

Yep, go for the fullmetal editions, the quality is just so much higher and they fix minor errors such as the little mistakes in changing japanese to english, in the original manga it was called, "the ishvalan war", but it should have been, "the ishBalan war".

I have the fm boxset from rightstuf when I looked it was instock..in stock... then I'm buying the Fullmetal editions aswell... but that's only cuz its my favorite anime since I was a kid

Glad you got a good deal on it. Amazon has some sweet deals sometimes on sets!

How much did you buy it for? Looking to pre-order it for 240aud but don't know if that's a price i'd like to buy it if it's been sold for cheaper

Good sets! More people need to try Alita!

how’s the claymore box set

@@immortalmangafan7155 Honestly in the top 5 of best looking and best designed box sets of all, but for me personally, it's number 1. Was able to find one for $125 two weeks ago. I was blessed with such amazing luck because I've been trying to get one since May of last year. Just gotta keep looking.

Should I get demon slayer it’s my first manga but I love the anime not just because of the animation either so should I get?

@@Mee959 that’s up to you. Personally I think the Anime is better simply because there is so much detail put into the environment. The manga, at least what I’ve read of it, doesn’t share that trait. If you want to experience the story in its original form then it’s a good read but you won’t find anything new that you haven’t seen in the anime. Although from a collectors standpoint the boxset looks gorgeous on a shelf!

Nice! Hope you can find those 2 for reasonable prices!

Yeah I have seen them they are nice

Oh sweet thats a good first one to get OP is awesome!

Alright so here are some awesome ones that are awesome. Psyren, parasyte, full metal alchemist, Hunter x hunter, yu yu hakusho, attack on titan

@@TheMangaSloth thanks for the advice I’m thinking of getting into hxh or full metal alchemist Thanks so much keep up the great content 😁

Dannnnnnnnnnnnnng im sry!

Oh man I know what your saying. Look at all the rano sizes I got and then like you said the reg boxes use dif types in them. Ughhhhhhhh I have them all in the boxes for space but then I need space for the boxes LOL

imo its the best edition. I dont see it much in America though since its hard to get. But its great!

That's awesome!

Was it worth it? I’m thinking off buying my first box set being either demon slayer , dragon ball z or Tokyo ghoul box set

@@underkoverist5254 Make sure you will like the series and then yes it is!

Ohh a promised neverland would be cool. Id have to sell all of mine to get it lol dont need doubles of that.

Well your wish has been granted

Hey MMW! I hope Germany starts getting some more box sets! The Germans need manga like the rest of us!

Dannnnnnnng that stinks. Hope it comes in asap!

Same! Some of them are super awesome!

🦥=🐐

Good pics!

Forgot about Pandora Hearts huh?

I dont think you will see it lower than the pre order of 79.99 often. So if was me Id order it for the 79.

Alright a New Mergerie Smithaton comment.

😂

👑👑👑👑👑

OP will keep getting reprinted forever probably haha. I dont get box sets much since I usually get series 1 volume at a time. But I do trade in and also get fancy sets etc.

I bet it would look sweet!

Nice sets. Its good to have the sets you love!

@@TheMangaSloth it took me forever to track em all down

Its still 230 on Yen if im correct so thats its retail price! Its still a lot but def worth it if you want it.

@@TheMangaSloth i can’t find it. I don’t think it’s still available :(

@@TheMangaSloth I just got it. Thank youuuu so much

@@imwil2675 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yooooo thats awesome! Welcome to manga and thanks for the complement!

dannnnnnnnnnnnnnnng that stinks. Hope more pop up there!

@@TheMangaSloth it's a huge region in Europe that western companies simply forget about or don't want to invest in,idk bro these days box sets on Amazon are selling for good prices but I'd have to play 20 bucks for delivery which is crazy

try scifier my new affiliate they ship to all Europe cheap I believe. If you use them my code is THEMANGASLOTH for 10% more off

@@TheMangaSloth idk if you have contact with them,if you do tell them this,I would genuinely use them but the problem is that their shipping scales with the price,so for example Dragon Ball box set there costs 81 euros (approx 86 bucks ig) but the shipping is 41 euros lol,idk man I was too late to the book depository train now I have to suffer like every other eurobro Thanks for the recommendation,you make great videos,you should do more reviews

what country are you in? cause I am in contact with the guy and he said €8.00 to other EU countries. I cant remember all the places in the Balkans but I know Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Romania ,Slovenia etc are covered EDIT Also I tried a fake order to Bulgaria with 3 box sets and it was €8.00 shipping so its working atm

Super nice set for sure!

Both quality box sets!!

Oh thats good to know! I didint know what extras they came with.

I know your pain. Its crazy how much we need these sets reprinted and in bigger quantities. Keep an eye out and I hope you can nab them!

Same! The box sets take up so much random space which stinks. Its nice to switch out and keep them boxed to save shelf space but then you got something thats harder to place lol.

Nice!!! You got a fav box set?

@@TheMangaSloth Akira for sure

Well not for retail prices. If your not waiting for a reprint then everything is real expensive atm which stinks.

Dnnnnnng you will be waiting on lots of series then!

@@TheMangaSloth I never said I didn't read the newer series. I only just don't buy unless completed. I only buy those I know I will reread too.

Thank you so much 😀

Nice! I love OP its def one of my favorite collected series!

Nice sets! I know what ya mean when you get done with one box you need the next! Hope you get one!

Yeah I jumped on it when it got printed again. Its still a lot but way better then aftermarket prices. They are cray

Well I think OP is way better of a series than the other 2 but its ongoing atm so if you want a complete series maybe Assassination!

Italian Amazon is where people get them I believe!

I remember that cartoon. I had to look up that scene and LOLOL

They are different from the Alita ones in a few ways but they are good quality hardcovers!

@@TheMangaSloth whats the name of that series ? im gonna look it up

Hope it does soon they need to print it more.

same here. waiting for tokyo ghoul and RE and also for naruto and bleach

hmm. save some money (10% for an example) per month so you can live without killing ur wallet while getting the box set

Thats one I would like to get sometime! Hope you enjoy it!

You mean which type of media or what type of series?

@@TheMangaSloth media

@@eduardotorres6108 Well manga is always good to pick up. I am starting to buy for figures / statues also so those are always good.

@@TheMangaSloth gotcha, there're few manga like Ajin specially vol7 i want, but it's been sold out for a while. I wish i had money to collecting few years ago.

@@eduardotorres6108 It stinks but there is lots of manga for most series needing another print. I have buying regrets all the time also haha

Oh nice I hope you can grab one soon. They need to print some more asap!

LOL thats crazy haha Id sell mine for 2k lol

Box set 3 is on Simon and schuster and yes they will all restock eventually

@@soulkingjack Thank you, I am from Europe so I am buying manga just on Bookdepository

Yes they will but when they will is another thing. Its a series they will print the most. Just keep an eye out cause you can miss real fast when they do.

LOL I get what your saying but no way haha its ending around 125ish so wont be that heavy haha

Oh yeah the box set prices are through the roof its nuts

Nooooiiiicccceeee

Keep looking! Gotta find a good price one some time!

@@TheMangaSloth it aint bleach but i found one piece box sets on crazy discounts on travellingman so imma use that instead for now

Should be alright on ebay if you buy from a reputable seller. Just make sure to use paypal or something so if its damaged you can return it super easy

@@TheMangaSloth ty and where do u normally buy manga box sets from

Hmm well I buy ised ones somethimes when there are great prices but also from instocktrades/ScIFier (got a 10% code in description) Then also amazon and crunchy sometimes

@@TheMangaSloth ty

If thats the case you prob wont find any outside ebay/second market until they reprint it.

Hope you get it sometime. They should br printing that one more for sure.

@@TheMangaSloth thanks i got up and saw that and was so excited

Me too 😭 out of print/stock for so long here

Thats a good deal def!

@@TheMangaSloth it was only a few months ago too when one piece box sets were pretty much impossible to find

Noooooooooooooooooo hope you can get them sometime!

@@TheMangaSloth I'm from a different countries i don't think i can 😑 Hi i like your video 😀👍

noooooooooooooo

im in germany too and we can buy them online idk if in german too,but i hope not as the translations are always so wrong (inclusding names),but it wouldnt be that bad if theyre in english anyways,right? right? Anyways just look online,maybe the ones you want aret getting printed anymore yk also remember this video was made 2 years ago so the chances of the boxes you want not getting printed anymore are really high

Yes! I like akira a lot and pandora is a good series!

@@TheMangaSloth sweet! ill look into those!

Yeah box sets tend to do that which stinks. Just keep an eye out for restocks and reprints then nab one for a good price if you can wait.

Oh yeah thats a good one to have love that one!

Got it from a buddy BUT he and others have got it from Italian Amazon. Since the whole series has no text the language does not matter. FYI its so beautiful def worth getting!

@@TheMangaSloth thank you, love ur content, yes it's so awesome

yooo nice!

Good box set and good price!

Patience!

Those are some good goals!! I like all those series but OP is goat!!

@@TheMangaSloth i started one piece on shonen jump and it was pretty good

@@MrBerserkinTime I am reading it and close to 100 volumes. Let me say and I cant believe it that its still getting better!

Yes! I usually sell my singles and get the box sets to save space!

Factsssssssssssssss but buying them in singles is even more expensive! (talking if you can get either at retail price)

@@TheMangaSloth yep, i think imma just settle on “tomie” as my first lel

It was "up to the teens and 20's" But the "and" sounded like "AN" which would also work I guess haha

Great sets! I like how both of them look they are great!
