Making an "Attack on Titan" Manga Leather Hardcover | Bookbinding DIY Project

[@Weeabruh]

Hey everyone just wanted say thank you for the kind comments! I can’t put into words how grateful I am. I did want to mention the binding isn’t fully complete. I expect to decorate the cover very soon. Check out my Instagram for updates! Thanks again, yall. 🙏

[@henryt5780]

This is how they should had made it AOT deluxe editions hardcover and make the spines look like the walls

[@starsstruck197]

OMG YESSSS

[@NerBarbaro123]

Do you remeber the books from grisha yeagers basment ?

[@leonthesleepy]

exactly. its a joke that the "deluxe" edition is all in softcovers

[@Joenah5]

@@leonthesleepy It's rare enough for any manga to get decent sized artwork, so at least there's that

When you cut into the cover of the manga, my soul slipped out my body 💀 but that end result is soooo worth it! It looks phenomenal! Such a satisfying video! The music definitely passes the vibe check 🔥🔥

[@profotaku]

I don’t even know what to say...just breathtaking work all the way around!

Thanks poop Yakuza you’re the best 🙏

[@nicholasmerlino293]

So true

[@colegg8680]

This one is a gem, Weeabruh. I praise your channel, and there is a reason for it. The quality you put into your videos matches that of content creators with 1 million subs. I'd say this is tied with the July reading log as the best video on your channel. tl;dr: Good fucking shit ma boy.

[@Weeabruh]

Thanks Cole!! Love you man 🙏 you a real one, brother

[@ScottOrKaze]

The most unique Mangatuber in the game right now. Man's out here giving us this high quality content, no one else on KZbin making videos leather binding manga for the community like my man here

[@Weeabruh]

Thank you man! Insanely kind words!! You made my day

[@AnimeCollective]

Ah man, this turned out awesome and was super relaxing to watch. Looks like this probably took you a bit of time to complete, but it paid off. Really unique video too and I hope to start a project like this myself some day. Thanks for leading the way and for sharing!

[@Weeabruh]

It’s definitely worth doing! Check out DAS Bookbinding on KZbin, he has a tutorial on converting a softcover to hardcover that I mainly used for this project. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@BlueTempest]

Been waiting for this video for a while and bro..... this project was so INSANE, and it came out awesome! It really takes not only talent, but passion to make this possible man, so keep it up-been loving the content a lot lately and it’s definitely inspiring as a content creator myself :)

[@Weeabruh]

Watching your insane growth is so dope to see just a few months ago u were around 1k so cool to see keep up the good work u deserve all the recent growth

[@Weeabruh]

Thank you so much man 🙏

[@chillonil1534]

This gives me oddly satisfying vibes!

[@bourbon_hound]

So hype, looks amazing! I avoided manga for so long because I didn't want to put ugly paper backs next to my nice books on my shelves. It's so refreshing to see someone treat manga with respect enough to give it a proper appearance, this really makes me want to try this on some series of my own. I only wish more publishers would offer the "Berserk Deluxe" quality and aesthetic. but you've shown that it's attainable to make it happen regardless - bravo and enjoy! P.S. an addition of a green silk page marker would be fireeeee

[@Weeabruh]

Thank you so much! And I definitely feel you on that, it’s sad how poorly Kodansha has treated attack on Titan. So many missed opportunities to make a great edition to a widely beloved series. And dude 100% agree with you! It wasn’t until I was done I realized I could have added a page marker (it slipped my mind until I remembered the Berserk Deluxe editions have them)

[@torwynd3131]

Very cool. Watching this made me think how sick it would be if we could get Black Clover in leather-bound deluxe editions that look like grimoires one day when its complete.

[@RedditLore4]

It would be really cool but I don't think that will ever happen

[@Weeabruh]

Dude I definitely considered doing one for black clover because it would make such a perfect fit for the style! If they come out with an omnibus of some kind i would definitely turn into a grimoire if they don’t do it already. Add some clover decorations too ugh would be sooo cool to do 😫

[@yourbaldheadedsenpai1896]

[@meccachico]

What a gorgeous work of art!!! Simply amazing. Congratulations on such amazing work. I would really like to see Witch hat atelier receive that makeover.

[@alexbraun3595]

I’ve never read Attack On Titan, but this was really well done. The only thing that’s missing is the gold gilded pages and foil stamping of the logo on the cover and spine.

[@TheMLGman]

It would be dope if you etch a symbol into the cover or some sort of simple design like the Berserk deluxes. You could use a stencil for a scout symbol or something. Just an idea because I think it would be cool.

[@Weeabruh]

I definitely still need to add decorations but I judt need to get the tools for what I have planned. Stencil artwork is for sure a consideration! I’ve been thinking about what would be a good symbol for AoT

[@TheMLGman]

@@Weeabruh I would consider either the symbols for the walls or the different branches of military.

[@nowayyy1723]

Yo this is actually really cool

[@Weeabruh]

Thank you man 🙏

[@jacobanderson9530]

That looks amazing!!!! Keep up the great work :)

[@jmoney1394]

I was wondering, with how it was originally it was hard to read some of the pages because they were close to the center eye, did this transformation make a difference?

[@ThePromG]

LETS GOOOOOOO

[@Weeabruh]

MY MAN 🤝

[@MultiEltro]

Will you be doing any lettering on it? It's already really impressive on its own so some text on it would complete the look. Or would you rather keep the minimalistic look?

[@Weeabruh]

I definitely plan to add decorations and lettering once I get my hands on some tools! It looks okay plain right now but I personally would love to see some decorative ornaments and stuff on the cover. Hopefully soon!

[@Beta464Original]

Looks fantastic! Would there be any way to add the logo to the spine for easier identification on the shelf? That way if you planned to do more, you could have them numbered?

[@Weeabruh]

Thank you! I definitely plan to add decorations and numbering soon

[@NoraDubsVA]

Super cool!

[@Weeabruh]

Thank you! 💪

[@ElementiaYT]

How much practice does it take to get decent at book binding? I’d like to do this with my own Colossal Editions, but I’m wondering how much practice I might need beforehand.

[@Weeabruh]

Honestly I say just go for it, I had very little practice and it came out decent. I did make some fatal mistakes though, but I’m not too worried about them!

[@rjm1974]

Yo wtfff this is dope af

[@JasmineBlushes1]

Beautiful 👏🏽 Great job! Now you can read it without the soho suck’s my dear of it ripping in your hands 🙌🏽 THIS is how they should have made it in the first place. Why?! 😭😤

[@strohhuttv8848]

You put a lot of work looks really good. The only thing I would do now is try do some modifications so that you can notice what book it is. I don't know how the spine or cover tell you is Attack On Titan volume... Would be cool. I don't know how you could do this... Maybe print it and then glue it or maybe even carve it.

[@Weeabruh]

Yeah I would need to buy finishing tools to decorate and letter the cover but it costs like thousands of dollars. I definitely plan to do it once I buy some though for sure! There’s also laser etching the cover but it looks so trashy that way, I wanna do it the traditional way!

[@strohhuttv8848]

@@Weeabruh Yeah there are cheaper and more expensive ways for sure. I don't think you need spend thousands of dollars though. In worst case you can just print a cover and glue it of course that's the cheap and easy way around... Actually cut it aka carve it make it a part of the cover is more complicated...

[@atheistsince1210]

Shit Webtuh I wish I was a venture capitalist I would throw $$ at you for these expensive tools and there’s no risk because you’re cool as a cucumber :-)

I was hoping you'd make a vid about this when I asked you about it on twitter. The link you sent was really good (turns out I'm already subbed to the guy!) Would love to know how difficult (or easy) this was. Did you nail it on your first try or did you practice on some old books first?

[@Weeabruh]

It was pretty difficult and I ended up having to just “go for it” as my first time. Sadly I made a lot of mistakes (like cutting the leather too short in some places and a whole ton of other mistakes). I’m lucky the mistakes didn’t affect the overall appearance. But tbh it was hard but thankfully not as hard as I was expecting it to be. It’s definitely worth the try!

[@geckonator4268]

Great video! I've been waiting for this one ever since you said you were going to do it. what do you think about the cover? Are you going to write the title on it? Maybe branding it would look nice?

This came out great like expected! Are you going to design the outside to make it look like an AOT book? Will you be doing this for all books whose cover doesn’t satisfy you, or just for series you feel deserves the hardcover?

Yeah I definitely plan to add all the proper finishes once I get the tools. I definitely have a ton more projects planned too for stuff I think is a good fit to have the look of a traditional leather hardcover!
