It arrived today and I must say, I was very surprised (in a good way). But lets discover it together!
Uhhh nice box, and that's just the package...
Weee! It's all glittery and sparkly! And quite sturdy for a box... ^_^
So now we come to the inside...
Okay, wow. The books are huge. Much bigger than normal manga, and hardcover too...wow! The only thing that's not so amazing is the cover design. But oh my god:
Color pages! And quite a lot of them too! (Ok I knew there had to be some as it was advertised with color pages, but there were quite many, mostly in book 2).
But there's more! A guide booklet with background information and a few reprints of original drawings.
The pictures are often completely different from my German Version (which is a reprint from the 70's re-release, the most common one, I think). I heard about the story that Tezuka had to redraw many pages of the first parts since the original ones got lost. Well, in this book they're back.
So, all in all...if you're a huge Kimba fan, I'd say get this set as long as it's available.
