Viz Media Stacks Deck Master Yu-Gi-Oh in Omnibus Editions

Viz Media announced yesterday the arrival of Yu-Gi-Oh 3-in-1 Omnibus Editions that will publish Kazuki Takahashi’s entire 38 volume epic manga in 13 quarterly volumes.

“This new omnibus is a great way to dive into all the action of the original YU-GI-OH! manga series for the very first time, or revisit it in a whole new way – undivided and in its entirety,” says Erica Yee, Editor. “YU-GI-OH! remains the Number 1 trading card game property in the world, and the popularity of the property has also spawned several top-rated anime series, bestselling video games, and a vast array of action figures and other collectables. We look forward to even more fans discovering this tremendous manga series with the new 3-in-1 editions.”

Before the card game, video games, and four anime series, Yu-Gi-Oh was a manga that ran in the Japanese magazine Weekly Shonen Jump in 1996. The highly influential series begins with Yugi in tenth grade. When he solves the Millenium Puzzle, an Egyptian artifact, he becomes possessed by the spirit it housed: a master gambler from the age of the pharaohs known as Yu-Gi-Oh, the King of Games. He is soon to meet Seto Kaiba, a master gamer who has learned that Yugi’s grandfather owns the very rare “Blue-Eues White Dragon” Card. Kaiba is relentless in his pursuit of the card, and soon must face Yugi’s new dark half, Yu-Gi-Oh.

Debuting on February 3rd, volume one in this reissue of the T for Teens rated series will retail at 14.99 USD / 16.99 CAN.
