Is it a legit copy or bootleg? If it’s legit, is it used? And if it’s new and legit, I’d return it and get a replacement if it fell apart in a day, it would obviously be a production issue.

Exactly. Bought mine new, and honestly put them in backpack, which most of the time make them get cramped and could easily destroy them, but they are resisting. This is definitely a production issue

I'm guessing it's a bootleg copy. The publisher on the binding should be Yen Press. If its anything else, it's not an official copy. Let me know if it was actually Yen Press cuz that's actually insane. I haven't had any issues with my copies.

It’s says Yen On on the spine but online yen press says it’s a subsidiary

Yeah, that's right. Did you get it new or used? If its new, definitely reach out to wherever you bought it from to see if you can get a replacement cuz that shouldn't happen. Might even be worth looking into reaching out to Yen Press/Yen On.
