Gin Tama, Volume 1

I started gintama by watching the anime. It was really hilarious so I decided to read the manga online. At first I didn't like the manga but I still continued reading it. I've been reading gintama for 3 years now and I must say that Gintama is one of the best anime/manga that I've ever seen. It's the only manga that I never stopped reading because I usually lose interest in a manga after a year. Gintama is like a combination of every genre that I like. Comedy, trolling, action, and drama. Gintama is funny as heck but when it comes to drama, it will never fail to make you cry, or at least, shed a tear.Gintama is also a very extraordinary series. Unlike most mangas where the protagonist becomes stronger and stronger as time passes by and ultimately becomes a hero, in this series, the protagonist, Gintoki, has been through that stage and is now living in poverty, doing all kinds of jobs to live by. It shows us the life of a hero after winning or in Gintoki's case, being defeated in a battle.Another thing is that there are no special moves that they'd yell before attacking. Just plain, raw strength and awesomeness. I also like how Gintama is being told through mini-chapters. Yes, some of them are just plain hilarious and has no connection to the main story plot but it's still hilarious, so it doesn't bother me. Unlike the big three anime/manga where the quality is awesome, Gintama has a very simple but clean and detailed.

In very good condition and went through my expectations. Looking forward to ordering from this seller more often. With being a Gintama fan, I had to buy whatever the show is selling hahaha.

Gin Tama is without a doubt my favorite manga.

It's Gintama just the way you love it but in manga and it comes with a different story from author Hideaki Sorachi! As we all know the manga is often overshadowed by it's anime so it doesn't get a whole lot of attention but the jokes still hit just as hard here, you can almost read it the character's voices!.. I'm happy to say Viz's translation is great as well. We all know how challenging it is to translate Gintama after all. This is definitely worth picking up if you're a Gintama fan who's only experienced the series by the anime.Also, here's hoping Viz Media can pick up the series again and finish the remaining volumes.

The media could not be loaded. Thank you so much. I really wanted the first volume (I also got 8, 12 & 20). Everything comes in excellent condition, that's my first time buying from Amazon and I'm verypleased .omg i love Gintama so much Im so happy now

Typical manga purchase and everything was as you would expect it to be. However, the cover of this volume was of unusually high quality. I'm not sure if its typical of Gintama tankoban in general or not, but it felt a lot...silkyer? Then the rest of the manga I own.

I've seen the anime and started reading the manga .It's very entertaining, there's comedy,drama, more comedy ,some touching moments , and even more comedy. You'll laugh and cry at the same time. Gin is a monster, Kagura is badass and Shinpachi is well Shinpachi.

I absolutely would love to recommend this manga series to anyone who watches anime this series is amazing in both anime and manga form and this was the best place to buy the manga easily
