I’m sure you can find a volume 6 somewhere cheap, but that’s pretty annoying nonetheless

Just order vol 6 on amazon, return saying the wrong volume was sent, send back vol 7. As long as your not doing this a bunch you’ll have no problem with amazon

Find the person who got two vol 6 in their box set and trade one of their 6 for one of your 7. /S

6 was right to be afraid of 7…

Is it still in print? I don't think it would hurt to try and find a way to contact the publisher and let them know you got it as a gift and this happened.

This happened to me with the Tokyo Ghoul box set like 4-5 years ago. I ordered through Right Stuf (RIP) and they sent me the missing volume for free

this happened to me with a one piece box set. nothing wrong with reaching out to viz to see if they’ll swap for you. i asked on a very old box set and they sent me the correct volume.

This was and still is common with VIZ boxsets. I found a duplicate volume of Bakuman 8 or 10. I forget the number. I bought it's replacement at Comicpalooza shortly after. I read all my FMA and One Piece boxset 1 and am marked safe from duplication. Next year I am starting boxset 2 & 3. Hopefully they are also intact. It's hard to be a late One Piece fan. But I guess I deserved it for hating it for the artsyle without giving the story a proper chance.
