I would like the Viz release of the manga.
First off, is it complete? If not up to where?
In how many parts is each book divided?
How much should I spend and how hard is it to find (complete)?

It is complete. Viz Media collected volumes 1 through 12 in 4 huge omnibuses, and then they separately printed the late two volumes as they were released.

Some of the individual volumes are very hard to find, so start with the 3 in 1 omnibus releases.

I can sell you 1-8 and 14 if you're interested. $60 + shipping :)

I'll even throw in the Sadamoto Evangelion Der Mond art book free with purchase! :)

They are? I could buy any of the older volumes off ebay for £3-5.

Vol 9 specifically is in very short supply.

But the omnibus volumes are printed that bit bigger, and have colour plates as well - they're the better bet really. I just hope they do a matching version of the last two volumes (though note that the spines of the four omnibus volumes make a complete matching pattern at the top...).

Volume 9 has had a reprint since then. It's available for a reasonable price again on Amazon :)

^^ Nothing that can’t extend by typing the last two volumes to read “| END OF” at the top, making a whole set read “EVANGELION | END OF.” Even if they decide to just leave it blank, I’d totally buy the larger, colored editions despite already having the regular printed editions.

Oh, sure! And I hope that's what they'll do, sooner rather than later.

Now we can discuss what they should add to make the volume the same thickness as the others!

Monkey and I both figured it's a matter of time that 13 + 14 + bonus content will get its own VIZ omnibus volume one of these days. (Personally hoping for Carl Horn's thoughts on the last 2 volumes!) Good point that it could read "The End of" on it to flow with "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

Slightly off topic; I just got volumes 1-7 in a bundle and they don't have white spines and are slightly larger than the usual ones. Whats the deal with them?

There have been multiple editions; sounds as if you've got the earlier version, which came in two forms: flipped, and then later in similar covers unflipped and labelled something like "special edition". Then they were reprinted unflipped in the slightly smaller format, in 2004 as I recall, and the remaining volumes were issued in that new format. So your set of seven is all there are of the older format. I got a couple of the old ones before I understood the difference.

@FullMetalBiscut: Agreed. You have the earliest editions to come out, though I'm not sure if they're flipped or the "Special Edition" which were unflipped (unflipped manga was still a novelty back then). In fact, I have volumes 1-3 in the special edition, but it looked as if the spines were loosening, so I got the first omnibus to replace them. I'll admit, it looks good.

Ah, that explains why volume 4 is flipped but the rest aren't. Thanks for the info. A little annoying as I really only got them for display purposes with the rest of my white spine ones :lol: Oh well, was only £15 and I guess it's another version of the manga to own.

I don’t care if Vol. 9 got a reprint. The 3-1 omnibus just looks better due to the larger images. And since it’s back in print, the rarity factor has been taken away from it anyway. I personally don’t see a point in buying it.
