Manga Rebinding - Attack on Titan (Colossal Edition)

[@NoaRayrayne]

Here from manga collectors subreddit - this is so much more gorgeous than anything that kodansha has published ❤

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thank you so much! Well they habe to do it for the big audience and need to save money i guess 👀 on the other hand dark horse and seven seas have awesome hardcover deluxe editions

[@BigLipBoy]

@@TheMangaRebinderthey just did a hardcover for Vinland but can’t do one for their most popular series that they’ve ever published?

[@TheMangaRebinder]

@@BigLipBoy oh yeah vinland saga looks so premium got the first volume and its magnificient

[@sethgardiner695]

I had always wished for the Colossal Editions to be hard cover this is great!

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thank you 🙏 yeah aot is one of my favorite series so i wanted it to have a big good deluxe edition. Even tho i had the german deluxe editions they were not as good looking sadly

[@Vor567tez]

That's Delux Edition. I don't think Colossal Edition is Delux Ed.

[@TheLoxely]

From Reddit - This is unbelievable work! Absolutely beautiful. Keep killing it!

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thank you gor the support! Keeps me motivated!

[@Vor567tez]

This is beautiful definitely better than original. Aesthetic wise. But I prefer the original. Bcz covers have to catch the attention. The more striking the visuals are the more hands will grab it. We hv never seen a gaint human muscle system (😂)looming over a wall. The monster is quite unique and peaks the interest. On other hand yours seems like typical royal family drama. Although visually appealing but the Survey Corps insignia can be easily mistaken as family creast of royal family. Most will probably pass it as two kings fighting. I am not complaining, I just saying how covers can give impression. 😊

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Hey first of all thank you for your honest opinion! Yeah ur not wrong with the attention having something new or unusual on the cover. But thats what publishers have to think about selling their stuff :) for me i design stuff which i aim to habe an aestetic and clean look and giving the deluxe treatment. Since my rebind journey is also kinda inspired by the dark horse deluxe editions which were minimalistic but from high quality. But ue right if i were u sell them and want more eye cstching in my binds i could go with more unusual covers! Thanks for watchibg and the comment 😊

[@Barsoom1913]

Yeah doing Golden Edges takes practice and time, but with the right tools and practice you'll get it. When I looked up tutorials on it apparently the edges need to have almost a mirror finish. My friend your skills are definitely growing, looking forward to watching more of these.

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thank you 🙏 much appreciated! Yes i was thinking of getting a sanding mashine for it.

[@jmoney1394]

It would be awesome to see you rebind vagabond, I’ve never seen anyone else actually do it before on the internet

[@TheMangaRebinder]

I wanna do that once i get my habds on all the volumes

[@karthiknarayan]

Cool... Your videos inspire me to keep working on my projects eve tho i keep making mistakes

[@TheMangaRebinder]

I also still make mistakes even on this one i did couple mistakes 😊 but always working on your craft makes it better!

[@bacondeggs]

It turned out so nice! Green fits waaaaaay more than red. Sometimes, I think what it would be like to sit in on those meetings, publisher to author. How are some of the choices "approved" 😂 Your's makes way more sense, plus I don't feel like I'm seeing a spoiler on the front cover if I haven't read it yet 🙌

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Yeah i ask myself that as well sometimes 😂 well the thing is we fans appreciate it more than the publishers do usually

[@reverseshin]

Oh my goodness the cover looks great! (You inspired me to make my own tegami bachi cover, since the covers are removable I don’t have to worry about ruining the original covers because there japanese version)

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Uhh awesome to hear. Looking forward to it send me the results!

[@DarkVamqKDarkVamqK]

they really need to realse aot in deluxes like vinland, did they not learn the mistake from publishing aot like 4 different times. anyways great video and amazing work!!

[@komikall3104]

Really nice! This edition desperately needed a rebinding, haha, it's so ugly normally imo.

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Yeah i agree on that. They totally missed the opportunity to make an awesome deluxe edition. But aot has such a big fan base it will probably have even more editions coming out 😂

[@JolDettori]

Came here from the manga subreddit, love your work!

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@alyssacastro3818]

Damn i wish i had your talent!!

[@TheMangaRebinder]

There aint no talent only a lot of trial and error! So give it a try it aint so hard as it looks ☺️

[@Gingerseatsouls]

It looks so good! Makes me wanna buy the colossal just to do something similar😂

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thanks. And yes go for it! 😬

[@yenna6146]

Gilding is one of the most tedious processes of bookbinding, I salute you for even trying! Don't worry though, the final result looks fantastic. I suggest you watch Andrew from Ingenious Designs, he has a couple tricks for gilding that may help you. Just be aware, there are lots of sanding---granted he wanted a mirror finish, but maybe there's a compromise there. I can't wait to see your next project, keep up the good work! Just a question though, are you using a Cricut or a Silhouette for the covers?

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Yeahh i actually got the idea with the golden edges from him but was like sanding for a while and it didnt wanna get even 😂 and i use a silhouette potrait 3 actually saw it got reduced by a lot if ur interested in a cutter

[@Heroguy4190]

Keep it up😁

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thanks 🙏

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Not a fan of dust jackets tbh.

[@kevingrullon2796]

@@TheMangaRebinder your killing boss lol 😂 I just want to see if you would do a commission it was worth a try btw awesome rebinding

[@aghostsobsessions3648]

Are you able to share a link to the files of the vinyl pages so I can recreate myself? I have all the tools, just need the files to print them on vinyl haha. Your scale would probably be better then whatever I’ll try to do

[@matias6402]

Fuck yeah!!

[@TheMangaRebinder]

💪

[@shadiofficial6612]

Could you also show what program you use and how you design the covers and the printing process itself? That would be educational!

[@TheMangaRebinder]

I use the programm which comes with the cutting mashine itself but yes i was planning on doing a new in-depth tutorial in the future uncut and with a lot of explaining once i have more time for ot

[@shadiofficial6612]

@@TheMangaRebinder Cant wait! Your work is awesome.

[@enekoarriaga5967]

@@TheMangaRebinder your work is really inspirational, manga rebinding is something on the back of my head for so long...with your videos am seriously considering to plunging into. However am lost on the tools / materials required for a decent job...a tutorial by you on tools and materials would be great and welcoming, please. Thanks!

[@Shade_91]

Ive thought about doing this with my Tokyo Ghoul Monster Editions but idk if I have the balls lol

[@shinysinnon3171]

Also from reddit! Loving this so much! The dark green bookcloth. Any idea what material it's actually called? Have been curious as it doesn't look like usual cloth material and it also doesn't seem to be leather 🤔 Is it artificial leather? Best regards, Someone whom you have inspired to truly consider doing it myself

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Thank you so much. And i would love to see ur project! The cloth im using is called buckram its coated so it has a really good durability. I used on the desth note one artificial leather but the quality from this is way better in my opinion. Good luck on ur project and feel free to join the discord if u have questions.

[@shinysinnon3171]

Thank you for your info. I'll credit you if I try to post my own results on reddit one day ^^ Thinking of reworking my AoT colossals too as well as my big soft cover Blame! books

[@TheMangaRebinder]

UHHH yeah Blame sounds also pretty awesome. But i have already the hardcover german edition but there would be cool options to choose for the designs @@shinysinnon3171

[@LiminalTranquility]

Are you going to do any in-depth tutorials?

[@TheMangaRebinder]

Yeah. Matter of fact, im actually working on it! Gonna upload part 1 soon.

[@LiminalTranquility]

Still waiting for the tutorial lol.

[@sparkplugtheprotogen3684]

Did you record videos of you doing 2 or 3?

[@TheMangaRebinder]

No i didnt. I usually show only how i rebind volume 1 but once i did rebind the rest of it ill be showing the end result from all of them. You can already check on my instagram or reddit the finished 2 and 3. instagram.com/hoshuto.manga?igsh=ZGNjOWZkYTE3MQ%3D%3D&

[@Connman07]

Do you sell these?

[@TheMangaRebinder]

No not at the moment. Maybe at some point im offering a rebind service

[@Connman07]

That would be awesome. I would definitely buy
