{"title":"English 1st Print Manga","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1st print English manga\u003c\/strong\u003e — verified first-edition English-language manga from the original North American publishers: Viz, Tokyopop, Dark Horse, Yen Press, Kodansha USA, and others. Every copy in this collection is hand-checked against its indicia number line to confirm it's the actual first printing — not a 2nd or 3rd printing reskinned with the same cover art. If you collect the English 1st print run, this is where the verified copies live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy English 1st prints are quietly undervalued\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the longest time the manga collector market focused almost entirely on the Japanese 1st prints — the original Shueisha and Kodansha tankōbon. That gap has closed fast. English-language first prints of \u003cem\u003eYu-Gi-Oh!\u003c\/em\u003e, the original Viz \u003cem\u003eDragon Ball\u003c\/em\u003e run, early Tokyopop \u003cem\u003eSailor Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, and the first Dark Horse \u003cem\u003eBerserk\u003c\/em\u003e volumes are now serious investment-grade collectibles. The print runs were smaller than Japanese in many cases, the survival rate is lower (English manga was often read and tossed, not shelved), and the demand from Western collectors is climbing every year. Watch the price movements live on our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/manga-price-tracker\"\u003emanga price tracker\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to spot a first print English manga\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish manga uses a printer's number line in the indicia — usually on the copyright page near the front. The line looks like \u003ccode\u003e1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2\u003c\/code\u003e. If the line starts with \u003cstrong\u003e1\u003c\/strong\u003e, it's a first printing. If the lowest visible number is 2 or higher, you're holding a later printing of an earlier book. Some publishers (notably Tokyopop) also note the printing on the back of the title page. Our walkthrough at \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/information\/how-to-determine-print-number\"\u003ehow to determine print number\u003c\/a\u003e covers every major publisher's convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe grading premium on English manga\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause English manga circulated more heavily as reading copies, high-grade survivors are scarce — which has been pushing BGS 9.4+ English first prints up faster than their Japanese counterparts in some series. Series-specific picks: original Viz \u003cem\u003eDragon Ball\u003c\/em\u003e Vol. 1 (the unflipped right-to-left edition), Tokyopop \u003cem\u003eSailor Moon\u003c\/em\u003e Vol. 1, and the first Yen Press \u003cem\u003eSpy x Family\u003c\/em\u003e run.
