Short answer

The completed 3-in-1 omnibus line is the shelf-efficient choice; standard singles remain easier to hold, while small box sets bundle only parts of the run.

PanelPick recommendation

Choose the 12-volume omnibus line for a fresh complete collection. Avoid the box sets if your goal is one consistent format from start to finish.

What could change the decision

  • The final omnibus collects fewer than three originals because the series ends at volume 34.
  • Box sets are partial bundles, not a different text edition.
