This is the Japanese first volume from 2012, the standard printing without obi strip, graded BGS 8.5 — a Very Fine+ designation indicating a well-preserved copy with only minor handling or surface wear and strong structural integrity. Volume 1 establishes the modern reimagining of the iconic hero and is a logical starting point for collectors pursuing a complete run of this series in high grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- westblue:seo_v2 \/end --\u003e","brand":"West Blue Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47469913473181,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/8532\/3421\/files\/ultraman-2012-vol-1-bgs-85-japanese-manga-2689841.png?v=1772681892","url":"https:\/\/westblue.shop\/products\/ultraman-vol-1-bgs-8-5-japanese-manga","provider":"West Blue Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
