This Japanese-language first printing retains its obi strip, the wraparound paper band that is typically discarded and significantly elevates desirability among collectors. First printings of volume one with obi intact are among the more sought-after Naruto collectibles in the Japanese market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- westblue:seo_v2 \/end --\u003e","brand":"West Blue Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47868021801117,"sku":null,"price":1700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/8532\/3421\/files\/Naruto_v1_Fine_20260423002545528388.jpg?v=1777158952","url":"https:\/\/westblue.shop\/products\/naruto-vol-1-w-obi-1st-print-japanese-manga-fine","provider":"West Blue Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
