RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE FLOOR OF A CHAPTERS

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?
