Manga

For maximum bang for your buck, manga box sets are the way to go. These are essentially mini-libraries, vast repositories from some of the hottest manga talent across all of time and space. For something dark and edgy, you can rip and tear into Chainsaw Man, a dark tale of demon-hunting starring a lovable idiot risking his neck every day. Another series that focuses on exorcisms is Demon Slayer, an award-winning tale set in Taisho-era Japan. With almost unkillable demons prowling the city streets, it’s up the kind-hearted Tanjiro to put his sword skills to use as he searches for the demon who ruined his life. All of these box sets come in attractive slipcases, and they also have a uniform size so that you can neatly arrange them on your shelves.
