Both books were purchased new & left unread. The spines are in perfect condition! I included a photo of a random page from both books to show the art style. The included merch is from Japan (limited availability in 2022), and features artwork from Atsuko Yusen. The little badges are still in their original packaging. The postcard is kept in a protective sleeve. - Sparkle effect postcard: I tried to capture the effect in the photo provided. - Badge set/ stands: please see photos (they can be used as a badge or as decor on a shelf with the acrylic stand at the back)
