This promotion includes dozens of single volumes and collector’s edition sets for some excellent manga. We’ve linked to some of our personal favorites below.
Before it became a landmark feature-length film, Akira was a long-running manga series. The 35th-anniversary box set contains the entirety of the manga illustrated by Katsuhiro Otomo in its eight-year run. The clever clamshell case holds six hardcover volumes of the manga, the Akira Club art book, and an embroidered patch sporting the iconic pill design. This massive box set is currently on sale for $132.99 at Target (was $219.99).
While not a manga in the traditional sense, the Bloodborne graphic novel box set is worth checking out if you need an excuse to return to the terrifying streets of Old Yharnam. This trilogy includes hardcover versions of The Death of Sleep, The Healing Thirst, and A Song of Crows.
Typically available for $99.99, the 11-issue box set of Chainsaw Man is available from Target for just $55.99. This massive box set details the first arc of the anime and includes an exclusive double-sided poster.
The Legend of Zelda has a long-running series of manga adaptations detailing the adventures of the pointy-eared hero of time. Right now, you can pick up the Legendary Edition of Ocarina of Time for just $11.99 (was $19.99), while the Legendary Edition of the two-part Oracle series is available for $15.29 (was $19.99).
Both part one and part two of the final season of the Attack on Titan manga are on sale for $36.63 at Target instead of their usual $65.94. Both box sets contain five paperback volumes in addition to a pair of exclusive short stories.
The Scott Pilgrim series by Bryan Lee O’Malley is getting a hardcover re-release in honor of the series’ 20th anniversary. If you haven’t had the chance to read this quintessential tome of nerdery, both the color and monochrome collector’s box sets are currently available to pre-order from Target and are eligible for a 50% discount provided you can find another item to match the $249.99 price.
