Kingdom Complete Edition Vol 19 Collector's EditionComics Manga
Product Description
To celebrate the milestone of 100 million copies sold of the manga series "Kingdom" in November 2020, a brand-new "Kingdom Complete Edition" is being released! This special edition is a permanent collector's item, featuring entirely new designs and specifications that elevate the reading experience. With a larger format, premium materials, and exclusive commentary from the author, this series allows fans to rediscover the world of "Kingdom" in a whole new way.
The "Kingdom Complete Edition" is presented in a refined A5 format, which is larger than a standard comic book but smaller than a manga magazine. It features a hardcover design with a literary aesthetic, including a back cover, spines (strings), and tracing paper. The text is printed on pure white, high-quality paper, ensuring that the illustrations are sharper and more vibrant than ever before. The title is adorned with blue foil, inspired by the key color of the Hishintai, and the cover is embossed with a blank stamping process reminiscent of the seals of the seven heroes of the Warring States period. Even the main body of the book, once the cover is removed, is a visual treat.
Additionally, the complete edition includes color pages that reproduce the color door illustrations from the Weekly Young Jump issues, along with many cuts that were not included in the original comics. Fans will also enjoy exclusive commentary from the author, Yasuhisa Hara, who provides insights into the creation of each story, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the world of "Kingdom" and its intricate details.
Each volume of the "Kingdom Complete Edition" contains the equivalent of two volumes of the original comics. For example, volume 19 of the complete edition corresponds to volumes 37 and 38 of the original "Kingdom" series. The complete edition will be released in two volumes per month, starting in March 2024, with a total of 20 volumes planned (covering the content of 40 original volumes).
