Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)

If you were looking for the first volume of the VIZ Media translation of the Black & White arc, see Pokémon Black and White volume 1.

Volume 1 is the first volume published in France by Kurokawa compiling rounds from the Black & White arc of the Pokémon Adventures manga created by 日下秀憲 Hidenori Kusaka and 山本サトシ Satoshi Yamamoto. As the rounds of the Black & White chapter included in this volume had not yet been published in graphic novel format in Japan, the rounds in this volume have been collected directly from the magazine publication of Pokémon Adventures.
