As for Target’s big B2G1 sale, here are the best deals available on books, comics, and manga.

Manga box sets

Several excellent manga box sets are currently on sale and are some of the most digestible reading material. You can buy complete box sets of Tokyo Ghoul, Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer. Each title consists of several paperback graphic novels to read through. These are usually packaged in a slipcase and since these manga collections have a uniform design, you can easily fit them on your bookshelf.

One of the most notable entries on this list is the Akira 35th Anniversary Box Set. Not only do you get the original manga in a revised translation with new right-to-left lettering, but you also get an exclusive iron-on patch and the Akira Club Book, a coveted rarity full of comprehensive behind-the-scenes information and concept art by Katsuhiro Otomo and his staff.

Berserker

Another great manga. Several of the Berserk deluxe editions are on sale at Target. The great thing about these versions of the long-running manga is that they are essentially a reprint of the manga. They have been reprinted on oversized and higher quality paper, packaged in faux leather covers, and do the dark fantasy series justice with that luxurious treatment. If you have a Berserk fan at home, these books make great gifts. Check out the link below for even more related products like t-shirts and the regular paperback editions.

We’ve also included a link to Berserk: The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition, an upcoming Blu-ray release for the series of original video animations from the 2010s. This will be released later in the year and will contain the complete trilogy of Golden Age animated films.

Graphic novel and comic box sets

Traveling from Japan to the West, it’s time to check out the graphic novel deals at Target! Fans of Scott Pilgrim can get all six original graphic novels in a deluxe package before their 20th anniversary release in August. You can choose between an original black and white edition or a full-color reprint of the story, and both editions come in a very cool deluxe box. Thanks to this promotion, you can even get both at a big discount.

Another great choice is Batman: One Bad Day, a series of nine hardcover graphic novels. Each focuses on a specific Batman villain – Riddler, Bane, Ra’s Al Ghul, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, the Penguin, Catwoman, and Clayface – and each story is overseen by an all-star team of writers and artists. Video game fans can also pick up Dark Souls and Bloodborne collections, or if you’re looking for something to take you back to Sunday afternoons reading comics from your childhood, the complete Calvin and Hobbes collection comes highly recommended.

Novel Box Sets

If you’re ready to let your imagination run wild, there are enough books to buy at Target to fill a library or two. We’ve highlighted some of the best below, including popular sci-fi franchises like Dune and Middle Earth fantasy heavyweights. You can also buy several books that have recently been adapted for television, like A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Three-Body Problem.

Fans of The Lord of the Rings are spoiled for choice here, as in addition to the original novels by JRR Tolkien, there are also some excellent deals on deluxe versions of the books and other projects that have greatly expanded this world.
