Vol. 6-14 arrived today (minus Vol. 10) and I'm not best pleased. Vol. 11 has the top and bottom right corners of the cover ripped, leaving tiny pieces waiting to be rippled off. Most of the others are okay, a few minor knocks and the odd white mark aside, but I'm not happy when I paid for new copies expecting them to arrive in mint, collectable condition.
My annoyance was furthered by Tokyopop. It seems they have some print quality issues that cause some of the colours mix of blood red and purple to be different shades, meaning some volumes look out of place when they're lined up. And, as if just to be piss me off further, one volume has the old Tokyopop logo on the top, leaving me with an odd volume when all the others have the new logo.
I could've gone for when of the many recent Love Hina eBay auctions, paying less than £38 for Vol. 6-14 (minus Vol. 10), but I decided it against it since I wanted to show how much I like the series by paying for the volumes new. I wish I'd been my usual cheap self now. -____-
