Condition Guide

Each manga is assigned a numeric grade on a 0.5–9.8 scale, similar to the standards used by professional book grading services. The scale below groups those numeric grades into condition tiers.

Mint (9.8)
A Mint manga is essentially flawless. Even under close inspection there are no visible defects — perfect spine, square corners, bright cover, clean pages. These are extremely rare in vintage manga.

Near Mint (9.6 – 9.0)
A Near Mint manga looks almost new. It may have very minor flaws that are hard to notice at first glance, such as a tiny spine tick or extremely light corner wear. Colors are bright, pages are clean, and the book has excellent eye appeal.

Very Fine (8.5 – 7.0)
Very Fine manga show light signs of wear but are still very attractive. You may see small spine ticks, slight corner blunting, or minimal surface wear. The book is well-preserved and displays nicely.

Fine (6.5 – 5.0)
A Fine manga has noticeable wear but remains solid and complete. Common issues include visible spine stress, small creases, mild cover wear, or slight discoloration. Pages are usually intact but may be off-white or lightly aged.

Very Good (4.5 – 3.0)
Very Good manga show clear wear from reading and handling. This can include multiple spine ticks, creases, small tears, or heavier corner wear. The book is still complete but has reduced visual appeal.

Good (2.5 – 1.5)
Good-condition manga are heavily worn but readable. They may have significant creasing, tears, loose staples or binding, or noticeable discoloration. Collectors usually value these more for content than condition.

Fair / Poor (1.0 – 0.5)
These manga are very heavily damaged. Issues can include missing pieces, detached covers, severe tears, water damage, or heavy markings. These are typically collected only for very rare or historically important volumes.

Note: Grading is subjective, and small differences in opinion are normal. Photos should always be reviewed closely, and professional grading services may assign different final grades.

Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) is Ryoko Kui's beloved fantasy about adventurers who cook and eat the monsters they fight, a premise that grew into one of the most acclaimed seinen series of its era and a hit anime. This Japanese first printing of Volume 1 is the debut of Laios, Marcille, and Senshi in their original Kadokawa edition, the volume that started the series' word-of-mouth rise. Early printings predate the anime boom and are increasingly hard to find crisp. This copy is Near Mint, with a bright cover and tight binding. It ships from the U.S., carefully packed.
