[@ayeshaashraf8383]

you are truly manga collector who did not only collect manga all series but also in every shape or form to. it is amazing.

[@imnugget8085]

Yah thats crazy thats so much money I get the box sets cause they save

[@fredrikgranstrom6743]

Yes

[@Masteralianking]

wtf

[@fatalcrabnow29]

Box sets are my favorite way to collect any manga. They usually have extras and posters, and are also usually cheaper than collecting individuals. I don’t like omnibuses because they feel to thick, and it gets uncomfortable to hold while reading.

[@Mike-tb9rk]

The deluxe/collector hardcovers are usually sick. Vizbigs are solid too. Don't have any "3in1"s but the Gantz omnibus is quite meh.

[@fredrikgranstrom6743]

Yeah like berserk

[@thebandboy]

The individual volumes sometimes do come with extras, various stickers & bookmarks

[@polymvth]

Great comparison! Appreciate all the side by sides and in depth coverage, it really helps in deciding which version to collect!

[@lingesten15]

I’m so grateful that you are making these videos! I always search for them before buying something and I’ve never been disappointed in what I ended up buying. So just wanted to say thanks for your hard and impeccable work!

[@TheClockchan]

I started picking you the 3-1 and was pretty frustrated with the lack of availability. I supplemented the volumes I couldn’t find by going digital but it was still annoying! I definitely enjoy them just because I feel like I’m getting more bang for my buck. I’m seeing single volumes in newer series going for $15 now and it is really something else!

[@NMan40]

When did you start picking up the 3 in 1s? I noticed around late 2020 the 3 in 1s started to become hard to find. I held off on buying Naruto for years, but then decided I would buy them. I did have to buy a few single vols but they were very cheap.

[@alyssacole7285]

I've seen some 3 in 1 Naruto Mangas returning to Amazon for $14.99, I'm thinking of getting a few myself.

[@MoahGentle]

its 15 for three volumes and single volumes go for a tenner, so double the price. Hard to justify spending twice as much

[@Manga_Swag]

The fact that the singles are the same height as the 3 in 1 I think makes the box set more appealing

[@odstzero22]

So glad I found your channel. You do amazing work in these videos! You are a huge help to someone deciding which version and what manga to start collecting before throwing money away. After watching the beserk Akira and this video I think I am going to start with the berserk hard cover edition first.

[@MoahGentle]

I am new to manga collection and planning on collecting Berserk, Death Note and Naruto first..

[@Jason_Belmont]

This was way more in-depth than I was expecting, you know your stuff and don't beat around the bush. Easily the best Naruto box set video I've seen, thanks.

This is a series I’m going to get the box sets, same with One Piece & Bleach, but Book Depositary hasn’t had them in stock in ages. The first 3 box sets of One Piece haven’t been back in stock at all this year, I bought the 4th box set months ago but it’s still saying “awaiting publication” on my order, but I’ve seen people with it 2 months ago. I got the first box set of Bleach but the other 2 box sets haven’t been in stock all year either, I live in Ireland so all my manga I have to buy from the Book Depositary.

[@iqbalharim6435]

[@artsy_hannah505]

THANK YOU! I've been wanting to start collecting Naruto Manga and now I've decided to get the box sets.

[@Peachsweets]

i like 3 in 1 because it feels like the old jump magazine pages and you save a lot of money

[@Peachsweets]

​@@jollama yea but like i said thats what i like about it so for some not a problem its a plus. Newspaper paper is maybe something your too young to appreciate but idk im just assuming lol

[@rocketmanart7964]

Plus 3 volumes in 1 book. So you be able to get through them faster. Collecting all 72 even though the covers are great it's going to cost alot of money.

[@WinspearUltima]

I actually agree with this I quite like 3 in 1 volumes myself

[@Novapoid]

Great summary. I sound like a broken record, but I hope sometime in the future I get something akin to that box edition published in my country. The print quality of the current latin american edition of this manga leaves a lot to be desired, so it definitely needs a new, improved one. A box set sounds like the way to go. I wonder if this manga already has a Kanzenban version in Japan?

[@ambarvalia9757]

kishimto's cinematic theaterlike artwork is so enjoyable

[@MoahGentle]

Helpful video, there are pros and cons to collect either of the 3 versions..

[@kevinstreetgaming]

I would have to go with the box sets, especially for longer series. Great video as always Kristin!

[@Shyaam666]

Hello thank you for posting this, I would like to check on the maintenance and care required for these books, do they age alot or get very yellow when kept for display with the occasional reading?

[@miamistrawberry]

If I can't get a manga as 3 in 1 I rarely get it. Its just so much cheaper, feels like you get more, and looks prettier on the bookshelf IMO. Single covers are so much nicer looking on the front sadly

[@Chinmaynalawade3774]

Really Anime collective your videos are having full details about the topic and they are point to point.. It helps me while buying any manga... Pl tell me that mangas printed in Canada are considered to be legit? Because there print quality is not so good and it's front page images are bit visible.

[@derekwalter4238]

Man, individual volumes all day! There's no other way for me.

[@NMan40]

I find it strange when people buy the box sets and then take them out and put them on a shelf. Especially for a popular series like Naruto, when you can find the singles for very cheap, way cheaper than the box set.

[@geauxst9]

Very thorough, thank you

[@TerenceLee73]

yey...new vid...U rock girl 😊❤️

[@LuisMartinez-yc9kp]

What about pages? I know they are thin but that's no problem for me. What I really hate is having problems with rhe binding. Do they fall apart in the long run or do they stand the test of time? For that matter b&w marvel essentials always had the thinnest paper I've ever seen in an omnibus edition and if you are not careful they are prone to rips and tears, however the spine really holds up after 30 years and the binding has really stood the test of time. On the other hand, vizbigs have better quality paper, thicker paper, but they fall apart as soon as you read a couple of pages. What about these 3 in 1?

[@jon.b2696]

I just got the 3 in 1’s before watching this. I hope the page transparency doesn’t ruin my FIRST Naruto experience..

[@TreysonT.R]

Even Though I didn't grow up with Naruto, I could give this a shot❤️👍

Does anyone have a reliable link for the Naruto 3 box set from Amazon?

[@ujorge96]

Great Scott! I love the Naruto series! Trying to get the 3 in 1 Naruto books. I’m missing a couple of volumes but some of them is either out of print or expensive.

[@NMan40]

A mixture of vols is ok. I’m not sure where the elitist “single vols are best” came from? The only people I know like that are the ones who started collecting in the late 90s. I see many wannabes collect singles. You can spot them a mile away, I think.

[@NMan40]

@@jollama Oh? I have many single vols and omnibus and hardcovers/etc. I have seen some “questionable” paper in both. In my opinion, they are all good. I have never seen bad paper with anything I own. Maybe some vols pre 2005 were “bad”.

[@NMan40]

@@jollama I think the only “bad” and it really is not, is my Naruto 3 in 1(55-56-57) first printing July 2017. However, it is pretty good.

[@NMan40]

@@jollama The FMA hardcovers don’t have paper issues, but they have issues with the foil embossing flaking off. I’m glad I kept my singles for that! I even saw flaking in my B&N.

[@NMan40]

@@jollama I also recall back around 2018, my friend who had the original TokyoPop Love Hina vols, we compared to the Kodansha vols. The Kodansha omnibus was thicker than the TokyoPop vols. I guess it just depends?

[@dumon4264]

I have the complete series of the 3 in 1s and I kind of regret it because the cover arts of the singles are so much better than the 3 in 1s which is almost always just Naruto and nobody else.

[@WIGGLY-2011]

I got volume 1-3 for the 3 in 1s, I don't care about the paper quality because its like the exact same, and the book is way cheaper because at my book store a Naruto book costs $12 while a 3 in 1 is only $23 so its a good deal

[@fanman6568]

One thing I just want to say is I hope you do a manga review of good night PunPun. I just finished it yesterday and man, It really did break me. It really is something that I’ve never seen or experience before. The way how I feel after reading it is kind of hard to describe but after reading it, but it’s like a hollow feeling. But what’s crazier is that after I finished it I watched rent a girlfriend (recommend checking it out. It’s trash lol) and even though I’m watching something that’s just trash entertainment, I couldn’t stop thinking about good night PunPun. Might take me a couple days to get this feeling out of me.

[@atheistsince1210]

Thanks again for another flawlessly meticulous production on this Manga series. “Newspaper thin” pages are the kiss of death for my hobby standards the only way I can ever see that applying to my collection is with a super rare one of a kind obscure historical work or first edition literary masterpiece. It is possible because some brilliant authors in days of old had to pay out of pocket for thier first print runs and these volumes , if any still survive, may be “cheap and fragile “. 👑🌎

[@muriok2474]

Okay! I'll go for the box sets then😊

[@Sandblazer]

Thanks for this!

[@rodrigocro3115]

I'd like to buy the box set 2, is is safe to buy it trough Takara Cafe even if you're not from the US ?

[@tipsy8758]

Those are some crazy prices! You can get all 72 volumes of the Japanese version for 34,848 yen. So about $348 dollars depending on currency exchange rates. If you buy them used, it is probably half that price. Also the Japanese in Naruto is not that difficult. I would say it is between N4 and N3.

[@madysengarcia5153]

There's also another format that is called Library Binding for Naruto Manga but sadly it's only some volumes of Naruto not all of the volumes so if you want to collect the whole series it's better to go for the box set volumes or individuals or the 3 in 1 edition but if you want to go for the art then the individual or box sets would be for you for me I'd go for Library Binding of Naruto Manga cause it's very likely to be a Hardcover and I don't go for paperbacks anymore I go for Hardcover or the paperbacks that have protective layers on them those are the only paperbacks I would accept not regular Paperback.

One little error: I like to collect all 72 volumes and you said that you like the box set ones. After hearing you said "leave me a comment", I thought I oughta give ya a piece of detail. I had a box set 1 and the individual volume 21 once and I thing is misplace. In the chapter when Sasuke and Sakura have their moment, there was I difference in between 2 volume 21's. Sasuke box set 1: "you... Make me sick." Sasuke individual: "you... Will never change." That's all.

Recently bought the 3in1 version but I have a question! So I guess because the 3in1 is done by VIZ media they have their translations and things like "shadow clone justu" is called "art of the doppelganger" and all the names are really weird. As someone who has the different versions could you please tell me of the individual prints or box sets in particular have the proper names?

You should do some research before buying a series. Don’t say it was a mistake. You can have a combination of single vols and omnibus, right?
