The Ghost in the Shell: Fully Compiled (Complete Hardcover Collection)

Unlike the paperbacks, the sfx have been untranslated back to Japanese. The lettering is very small, the author's notes are even smaller and on too many pages (it's like reading a dictionary alongside the manga), the paper quality is nothing like other hardcover Kodansha releases like this cause it's a coarse newsprint-like paper instead of glossy paper that they used for Alita Deluxe and Silent Voice Collector's Edition, so the color pages aren't very sharp and feel quite muddy which compounded with the author's cluttered artstyle makes it hard to read and follow. On top of that, Volume 1.5 and 2 are completely non-sensical follow-ups to the first which you might not enjoy.

As I expected

Basarili.

Bellissimo volume ma arrivato purtroppo con la copertina danneggiata. Visto il prezzo, ho proceduto col reso e l'ho ordinato nuovamente, poiché nel complesso vale la pena. Un po' pesante da tenere in mano ma veramente comodo e bello da leggere, con le sue pagine molto ampie. Spero che il secondo ordine arrivi integro, altrimenti procederò con un nuovo reso e mi arrenderò a comprare i singoli volumi separati.

Nice book, it has a lot of quality. The pages are a bit thinner when compared with the deluxe edition. Keep it safe, humid places will ruin this with ease. Really heavy!

攻殻機動隊の原作が一冊にまとまっているだけあって、分厚いし重いです。ただ厚みはあってもちゃんと開けるため、その点は問題無し。 重さがあるので、机に置いて読むしかないと思いますが、これを買う人はほぼコレクション目的かと思うので、そこもあまり問題にはならないと思います。所有満足度は高いです。 補足として、1巻の例のシーンは削除されたバージョンです。
