This Japanese first-volume copy of Gangsta retains its original obi strip, a detail that adds scarcity value since obi bands are routinely discarded. Graded BGS 8.5 — a Very Fine+ designation on the BGS 1.0–10.0 scale — the book shows minimal wear with sharp corners and clean pages, falling just short of near-mint territory. Collecting volume 1 in high grade with obi intact appeals to fans of the series and graded manga enthusiasts focused on Japanese-language editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- westblue:seo_v2 \/end --\u003e","brand":"West Blue Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47744813269149,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/8532\/3421\/files\/gangsta-vol-1-bgs-85-japanese-manga-wobi-6488179.png?v=1774183688","url":"https:\/\/westblue.shop\/products\/gangsta-vol-1-bgs-85-japanese-manga-w-obi","provider":"West Blue Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
