Current Events > Viz has started their Fist of the North Star hardcover run.

(+) Yeah! (+)

For those of you unaware, FotNS has been out of print for some time in the west, and was never finished whenever any Western publisher took it. Heck it's a real expensive prospect to find a legitimate way to read or even watch it.

But late last year Viz announced they picked it up and the first volume came out last week in hardcover.

I really hemmed and hawed but I bought it digitally. Given space issues very few manga are given physical shelf space for me these days. Ironically, Jojo is one of those.

EDIT: It came out last week, not today. I only downloaded it today lol. >_>

i plan on getting it.

But i just dropped 200 bucks on Spice and Wolf so it might be a second

Thanks for making me aware of this. I just got back into collecting manga this year and I want to get into the series.

Are these similar to the Deluxe Edition Berserk books?

---

Didnt know this was a thing. Ill pick it up.

Edit: just bought it.

No I just checked and these are about 300 pages or so compared to Berserks 600-700. I think these are like the Jojo hardcovers.

Similar. Whereas the original would have eight chapters, this version has 13 chapters, so they're expanded books.

Wow didn't know Berserk's was that big. Yeah, not that big lol.

those assholes are sitting on saint seiya and refuse to reprint

I adore how this manga has no sense of scale. Ken looking tiny next to these giant thug dudes. Rin fully fits inside one guy's hand pretty much.
