Argh, I wish it were available in English!  Judging by the length alone, I'm sure this will be licensed in about oh,... never!

That seems really cheap to me, 30 manga volumes, let alone LE for $105?

They've likely already made tons of profit already, so I guess they decided to give back.

The "limited" part come from the special box. Kodansha was careful not to say that the manga volumes themselves are limited editions, since the volumes will be the regular 420-yen ones. 420 yen times 30 volumes equals 12,600 yen.

At US prices, that be would very cheap for 30 volumes. Say Hajime no Ippo were sold a $10 a pop (not including tax). At that price, 30 volumes would cost $300, barring any discounts and whatnot. This set is priced at 1/3 of that.

I wish it came with something call like T-shirts, video games, winning boxing gloves, or something.
