Junjo Romantica, Vol. 1, BL English Manga 2006 UNREAD Original Matte Cover:
$39.99

Unread copy (old store inventory) between Very Good and Like New condition, with the slightest amount of shelf wear from store shelving/handling - mainly just a small bend on lower back cover.
This is a 4th printing but it is one of Tokyopop\'s original prints with the matte cover - later on when Tokyopop folded, they made a deal with Righstuf to have them POD (printed on demand), and those newer copies have a gloss cover and some have other abnormalities including a too-thick non-scannable barcode, deeper colored cover instead of the pastel shades, and an incorrect ISBN on the back. If you\'re a collector in the market for the series, you\'ll likely want Tokyopop\'s original set with the matte cover as the others have the feeling of bootlegs, even though they aren\'t - just be aware that with many listings online for these books, sellers are mostly unaware that there are two versions. Look for a light reflection on the cover as this indicates it is the gloss cover version, and take a closer look at the barcode on the back - even if the ISBN is correct, the numbers often look \"off\" and slightly offset. The originals are also prone to page yellowing, while the gloss copies have very bright white pages.
