About

Welcome to 1stPrint.net, the specialized online store for graded first print edition manga.

Who?

1stPrint.net is an online store and marketplace dedicated to graded first print edition manga. Every listing gets careful attention to condition, authenticity and packaging, whether the item is sold by 1stPrint.net or by an independent seller.

The store grew out of a long-standing passion for Japanese manga and anime. In 2023, the market for first print manga revealed its potential, and in 2024 Beckett launched its manga grading service, opening a new chapter for collectors.

Why?

1stPrint.net started by selling raw first print manga, out of a passion for the medium and a wish to fill a gap in the market. Over time, it became very difficult to find first prints of good quality, and from popular series, out in the wild.

With Beckett's grading now available for manga, the store has moved on from raw volumes and is now focused on graded manga. The selection centers on volumes and series considered historic. Each graded volume is a piece of manga history that collectors can buy with confidence.

Our Commitment

Whether a collector searching for rare editions or simply a fan looking for something special, 1stPrint.net is here for everyone. The goal is high-quality service, with every order handled with care.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
