Description: This listing is for Monthly Shonen Ace 1995 No. 1. Though the 1st chapter of the manga would be included in the subequent issue of this magazine, this issue included the 1st glimpse of Neon Genesis Evangelion in a black and white ad (see 2nd picture above). It pre-dated the anime by several months. The subsequent issue of this magazine with the 1st full chapter has been selling for thousands of dollars in recent auctions, so if you don't want to break the bank, this is the next best thing. It shows some minor signs of use/age, such as light wrinkles (see pictures above of the exact book you will receive), but overall I think it is in much better condition than most of these that you will find. I've handled a lot of Japanese manga and can guarantee this is 100% authentic. It will be bagged and shipped very securely. 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.
