RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE FLOOR OF A CHAPTERS

[pikabot]

1. WTF, you have volumes four through twenty of Eyeshield 21, but not the first three? FAIL.

Oh well, it's a Viz release. It probably sucks anyways. =/

2. Why would anyone in their right mind want to buy a Naruto art book? Kishimoto's art is decent at BEST.

3. Look, I realize I'm not the target audience. I'm male, adult, and I like my manga with punching up ins and not so much the boring romance plots and sparkles.

But, regardless, I'm appalled that Shojo Beat magazine felt that this monstrosity was a good choice for cover art.

Seriously, it's horrifying. Someone better have lost their job over this. Christ.

Fugly cover art always turns me off, regardless of the content. It took a glowing review from Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/minima/gn-1) to make me even consider checking out Minima!- they specifically say in the review that the story and art are much better than the crap on the cover.

For srs, people. Don't you know how everybody judges books?

It...it's like Tohru Honda, only 10 clonings later, with brain cells dying with each generation. (Mind you, I'm very fond of Tohru, but that girl looks scary...)

I expected a lot worse when you called it a monstrosity and now it looks kind of okay by comparison.
