Description: This listing is for Weekly Shonen Jump 1997 #36. This includes the 1st appearance of Roronoa Zoro. It pre-dated both the tankobon and the anime, making this his 1st appearance in any medium. It was graded 2.5 ("Good+") by Beckett / CBCS with "Off-White / White Pages". Beckett then sealed the book in a hard plastic case. There is a tiny harline crack on one edge of the case (see last picture above) - it's small enough that I don't think most collectors would mind, but worth mentioning. We are a US-based seller and do not use stock photos - you will receive the exact book pictured. Check Out Our Other Rare Manga! About Japanese MangaJapanese manga (especially Shonen Jump) contains a number of extremely important 1st appearances. However, since these magazines are fairly bulky and very few people perceived them to be a collectible, the vast majority were discarded and the small number that remain tend to be in pretty bad condition. Reprints exist for a few of the keys (like 1st One Piece and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) but are easily identified by differences in the back cover. Fakes are fairly rare, with the exception of 4 books: Shonen Jump 1984 No. 51 (1st Dragon Ball); Shonen Jump 1999 No. 43 (1st Naruto); Shonen Jump 1998 No. 14 (1st Hunter X Hunter); and Shonen Jump 1997 No. 34 (1st One Piece). These fakes are fairly easy to identify if you've been collecting manga for a while, but if not, you need to be careful about buying these books from a reputable source unless they have been authenticated/graded.
