Can I start reading the series with this volume?

This volume is part of a continuous, long-form narrative that begins in the first volume, so it is not intended to be read as a standalone entry. New readers should begin with the first volume to understand the established character relationships and the ongoing plot developments.

Are there different ways to collect these chapters?

The original 72 individual volumes are also available in a 3-in-1 omnibus format, which collects three original volumes into a single physical book. This volume is included as part of the larger series collection regardless of which edition you choose.
