    I looove Yokohama kaidashi kikou, it's a relaxing post apocalyptic series about a robot girl that runs a cafe and the people she meets. It's an older series from the 90s and the art is crazy gorgeous. If you've read touring after that apocalypse, you can tell that mangaka took a lot of inspiration from it. Definitely check it out if it sounds interesting to ya!

    Getting it replaced because the corner is barely scuffed? Give me a fucking break. That's nothing

      Correct that is small potatoes for sure. I buy a lot of used and order from amazon LOL so I know what a real beat/destroyed manga looks like. But at the end of the day no matter what you buy or how cheap it is you want your stuff in mint condition unless you are buying it for ware etc. If it was just a scuff or scratch I would not care but 2nd or 3rd page down there was ripped and the plastic film that protects the front was ripped up. So easy free switch ezpz
