March Comes in Like a Lion's Cover by Berserk's Miura

Not-So-Daily Link of 2008 IV: Here is one of the stories that fell through the cracks in 2008.

Last November, Berserk manga creator Kentarō Miura drew an alternate cover for the second volume March comes in like a lion, the ongoing manga by Honey and Clover artist Chika Umino. In a way, Miura was returning the favor for the alternate cover that Umino drew of his Berserk manga in October. The Japanese manga news website Muhyojo posted an image of Miura's alternate March comes in like a lion cover (pictured at right). Umino made news last year when she switched from drawing in shōjo magazines to drawing March comes in like a lion in Young Animal, which is a seinen magazine that runs Berserk.) Below is a side-by-side comparison of the orignal and alternate covers for both manga.
