If you collect and read manga physically, you know that collecting is an expensive hobby. One volume of manga can run you anywhere from $7.99 to $19.99, depending on the series, whether it is hardcover or paperback, and more. Some of the premium omnibus manga volumes, which contain multiple volumes, can even reach as high as $50 a volume! Luckily, there is a great option available to save money.
Box sets offer a complete manga series or a significant chunk of one at one cost. While most box sets tend to sit around $100 to $200, you are saving hundreds of dollars when you consider the alternative of buying each volume individually. Plus, box sets tend to include exclusive goodies, like a poster or collectible for the series. Amazon has dozens of manga box sets available on sale this Memorial Day weekend. Whether you prefer Shonen, Seinen, or Shojo manga, there are great deals available that you can save on.
Amazon Manga Box Set Deals: Save Up to 60% Off Hit Series
Some of our favorite manga box set deals include the Dragon Ball Z complete box set, which is a complete collection of the entire series. If you've never read the iconic series from the late Akira Toriyama, now is the perfect time to experience what many consider one of the greatest series of all time. Additionally, many of the One Piece box sets are also on sale. Each of these box sets contains over twenty volumes, which could take months to read, depending on your schedule.
If you've never read manga before, many of these box sets are great choices! Series like Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, and My Hero Academia are all beginner-friendly, so you can start your manga journey with no fear in mind.
To determine how expensive each volume is in a box set, you can divide the number of volumes by the cost of the box set. As you'll see, it's often that each volume comes in at under $4 a piece, and you will never find a deal like that for individual volumes anywhere on the market. Be sure to score a deal on a manga box set this Memorial Day weekend before these deals are gone!
