Amazon's Early Black Friday Manga Sale Includes Multiple Generations of Box Sets

Black Friday has yet to arrive, but Amazon has already begun slashing prices on physical media. The early discounts are heavily focused on box sets, with publishers like Viz Media and Shout Factory continuing to keep the trend alive. These collectible sets contain entire arcs, or even whole series, making it convenient for fans to binge-read or revisit their favorite manga.

Amazon's manga deals feature both classic shonen collections and popular new releases, with significant savings on various box sets. The One Piece series, for instance, offers a treasure box set containing 23 volumes from the East Blue and Baroque Works arcs, aligning with the first two seasons of the Netflix adaptation. This box set is currently priced at its lowest point of the year, at $161, which works out to around $7 per volume.

Other notable bargains include the Chainsaw Man box set, featuring all 97 chapters of the Public Safety Arc, and the Jujutsu Kaisen set, which collects all 30 volumes, including volume 0. Both of these come with a poster. My Hero Academia's collector's box set includes the first 20 volumes, displaying exclusive Japanese cover art, a postcard-like booklet of illustrations, and a poster.

For shojo manga enthusiasts, the Ouran High School Host Club box set, featuring all 18 volumes and an exclusive notepad, is highly recommended, currently priced under $100. While Amazon may not drop these prices any further, they will match any competitor's lower price, adding an extra incentive to shop early.
