Yu-Gi-Oh! (bunkoban) volumes

This is the first volume of the reprint of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga in bunkoban form.

It included the tarot card, The Magician, featuring Dark Yugi, Black Magician and Black Magician Girl in its design.

Afterword

Kazuki Takahashi talks about starting the reprint series. He mentions that he very rarely re-reads a series after completion, fearing the embarrassment. He designed the covers for the occasion and felt there was a considerable gap compared to his artwork back at the beginning of the series, but commented that he still likes his early art.

He divided the story into the following chapters:

Chapter Name
Chapter 1 School arc
Chapter 2 Death-T arc
Chapter 3 RPG (Monster World) arc
Chapter 4 Duelist Kingdom
Chapter 5 D·D·D arc
Chapter 6 Battle City
Final Chapter Pharaoh's Memory arc

While the card game is more mainstream, he feels attached to the School arc in many ways. He recollects how it felt to overcome difficulties developing characters' personalities and relationships while under the pressure of trying to meet unfamiliar deadlines associated with a weekly series. Every character holding a weakness in their heart similar to the Millennium Puzzle was the key to the story, he felt and each character became a different piece to a puzzle.

He talks a bit about Yu-Gi-Oh GX, commenting that Yu-Gi-Oh! is being extended and thanks all the people involved in making and supporting the series.
