Which edition to buy
There are two ways to buy the run and both reach the end. The complete box set holds all 23 volumes for $244.99, which is $10.65 a volume and $30.78 under the singles at $11.99, and it suits a reader starting at Vol. 1. A viewer continuing past the anime does not need it: television ends six chapters into Vol. 16, the first Infinity Castle film runs to about chapter 157 in Vol. 18, and the volumes from there are sold singly.
