Old manga comic book

by raijin31

Greetings!

I have an old manga comic book, that was gifted to me by my mother.
I don't read japanese, and have no idea if this thing is 10 years old
or 100 years old. It has the old style string binding, and the paper
is very thin, but remarkably strong for such thin paper. It *feels*
old...

Would anyone here who can read Japanese be willing to let me mail
them some color photocopies of some of the relevant pages of this
thing and see if they can date it? I don't have access to a scanner,
or I would do it that way....

Many thanks,

Trace

How about a digital camera, or many camera stores could probably
convert a copy into a digital image for you. You could post it to
the 'files' section of this group - and then i'm sure someone could
tell you what it is.
