Our comics, manga, and books are standard retail items and—unless otherwise expressly stated for a specific item—are not sold as flawless collector’s items or graded copies.
All items from our online store are also part of our in-store selection. They are typically displayed unboxed on the shelves so that our customers can view and browse through them. If there are multiple copies of a title available, some of them may still be in their original packaging or shrink-wrapped.
Comics and books, in particular, sometimes arrive with minor signs of wear resulting from production, shipping, or storage—such as fine scratches, creases, or slight visual imperfections. Unfortunately, we have no control over this. Over time, additional minor wear may also occur due to display in the store.
If you place particular importance on the item being in the best possible condition or in its original packaging, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll be happy to take a closer look at the item you’re interested in and can send you photos in advance if needed.

A powerful fox spirit haunted by his past, and a little tanuki who still believes in him even as the world around them grows increasingly dangerous.
What once began as divine punishment has long since turned into an extraordinary friendship for Senzou and Manpachi.
Yet the grumpy fox spirit probably never would have expected that a small, cheerful tanuki, of all creatures, could turn his life so completely upside down.
But the world of the bakemono—Japanese spirits and mythical creatures—is not only full of magic and endearing encounters. It also harbors dark secrets and dangers that the two must face together.
In *The Fox and the Little Tanuki*, Volume 5, their adventurous journey continues. Senzou must not only tackle the tasks imposed on him by the servants of the sun goddess Amaterasu, but also learn what it means to take responsibility for someone else.
For while Manpachi treats his great fox friend with unwavering trust, Senzou is still far from coming to terms with everything that has made him who he is today.
Can a creature that once used its immense powers for evil truly embark on a different path?
In the fifth volume of her lovingly illustrated fantasy series, Mi Tagawa once again blends the fascinating world of Japanese mythology with humor, suspense, and a heartwarming story about friendship, change, and solidarity.
The manga thrives especially on its two very different main characters: the proud, headstrong fox spirit and the little tanuki, whose openness seems capable of cracking even the hardest shell.
The series is complete in seven volumes and delights readers with magical animal creatures, Japanese legends, and plenty of heart.
Senzou may possess immense magical powers. But even a mighty fox spirit is apparently quite powerless against Manpachi’s tenacity.
An enchanting manga adventure for anyone who loves fantasy, Japanese mythical creatures, and unusual friendships.
