First off, great choice, Firefighter Daigo is in my top 10 manga and my second favorite shonen series (after Hikaru no Go)
There's only 3 versions of v1. There's one with a red cover, which is the flipped version. Not the one to get. Get either of the other two as they are not flipped. The "Special Collector's Edition" came out as the same time as the red one. It's only real use is that it's oversized and isn't flipped, apparently that used to be "special" back in 2002. The third one came out later, it matches all the other books with their bright yellow spines. Get this one if you must have all the spines match, this one or the "special collector's edition" if you don't. But don't get the red one, there's really no point. Though it is likely to be the cheapest. red flipped special edition unflipped regular How a series rumored to have sold 2000 units for all 20 volumes combined got its first volume released 3 times is beyond me. It's a damn good series that deserves more attention and affection though. Here's a picture of mine, which has the "special collector's edition" v1. The regular v1 will look like all the other ones in the series. Someday I might replace my v1, I probably got that version because it was cheap or something. And unflipped. I actually just checked online, the "special edition" does indeed appear to cheaper than the "normal" looking one. |

I appreciate it, you two.
If you decide to start this series, would you like to take my spare copy of Vol. 20 off my hands?

Just in case you/anyone hadn't seen yet—Kodansha tweeted this morning that they're reprinting the series (no dates yet though). |

Very pleasing news! I was thinking they might do something due to the re-releases in Japan but it's great to know I might actually be able to start collecting the series at a reasonable price. |

Viz tweeted yesterday that dr slump is back in print. they also said a few days back that eyeshield 21 is back in print.
i got 4 volumes of dr slump that someone was getting rid of and saw that volume 11 was stupidly hard to get but i kept hold of em and now im glad i did. I already had all of eyeshield though, volume 2 was a bit tough when i started grabbing em but i managed to find one eventually. |

Indeed I have. I'm still looking for the Del Rey version as the paper quality on the Kodansha reprints weren't as good the first time around. I may resort to a Kodansha copy at some point if the Del Rey version stays as expensive as it is right now. ($50+? ehhhhhh.) |

the way things are now people are just glad they continue to print the current volumes. there was a long gap before they released the latest one (13 i think it was). Dark horse have a nasty habit of letting stuff go out of print and they dont offer any kind of feedback via social media either so you cant ask them about it. |
