I got it and it was packaged very well. There were even some extras because it was my first time. I got manga covers which is cool. One thing that was a little tricky is that it was sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard. I figure this protects it more. But I tried being carefully pulling the tape off around because it was slightly connected to the manga edges. But everything went well and I have it sitting on my shelf to look at here and there. I have already bought another item here as well!
