Since Rurouni Kenshin is coming out at the 7th of this month, I found a pic of the manga's book cover.

Ahh! OMG! I'm blind! That is just way too much freaking contrast! I hope that's just a mistake on amazon.com's part in scanning.

Call me mean if you want, but they need to switch cover designers now. That's just really a baaaaad color choice. >.< LIME GREEN?!

I dont think that image itself isn't really the cover. To bright and glossy. Maybe a lighter duller version.

Its going to be interesting to see how Kenshin does on the charts. Have any of you preordered it. If FMP got 7th its first week, I'd like to see how kenshin performs. I really wish they'd kept the original design covers.

Gah, I can't believe it, the release snuck up on me. Smile

It's a very nice cover. Don't know why you all don't like it. Shocked Oh well maybe I'm weird.

I have the french version of the manga, and this picture is indeed the first cover, however it's true that the colors are way too bright on this jpg. Must be a scanning issue or something.

How much is it supose to sell for? Amazon's website has it for 10, but I though SJ manga were 8.

Actually, I read my brother's copy of Shonen Jump and they have the cover image inside - it's different. The image itself is the same, but the colors are different. The "number bar" thingy is black, and the colors are toned down. Looks MUCH better.

Yes, the image the provided in Shonen Jump looks much better. I'd say it looks as you'd expect a manga cover to look.
