This is something that's been bugging me for some time now so I thought I'd bring it up in hopes that someone else might have noticed it.
I've noticed that for Psychic Academy, the first editions have a pull out poster that's not available in later printed editions. Editions are usually near the back or front of a manga where the printing credits are. First Edition would be like: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Third edition would be like: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3, and so forth. So my question is, are there any other manga that have a special printing? I've noticed that some later issues of D.N. Angel don't have the shiny silver cover printing on them. I'm not sure if it was a batch or just how it is for some later editions. Uhm, personally I feel psycho for asking this question  After all, story means so much more than the little itty bitty extra.

If anyone wants to contribute that's great! Thank you so much! Also thank you to everyone that's helped contribute so far. Phew! Lots of different stuff out there. I know some translation differences were mentioned, I'm thinking of making another list of that if there's time! Also if there are corrections or more detail that you believe is needed, no problem! Just post and I'll see what I can do. Last edited by Asako on Tue Apr 17, 2007 6:26 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I found another manga that has color in the first page if you get the first edition print but have yet to verify it 100%.
Loveless first editions will have a colored page within it while the ones after the first edition will not. Has anyone else found any others?

This happens fairly frequently in the translated manga department. In point of fact, the full color pages are often hit or miss even within first edition print runs--some volumes will have them and subsequent volumes in the series will not. Because of this it can be difficult to make any sort of list with complete certainty.

Of course
I'm merely asking if anyone knows of any that can possibly help out. I'm just being insane and trying to collect those that have these special differences. Just as someone would ask for help on identifying manga or such, I'm requesting assistance in finding manga that has this special printing. More often than not the manga does not have special colored printings. Being rare and difficult to determine, I was hoping for help...

I think xxxholic does. I myself have a copy that has no color (  ) but in the bookstore the other day I came across a copy of vol. 1 with a color page.
In respose to your 1st post I have seen a couple of series that have special editions. The Eureka Seven manga for vol. 1 has a regular as well as a special edition cover. The special edition cover is only available when you buy the first special edition of the anime. Also while looking through my manga collection I found that my first volume of Wish is a collectors edition. It has a dust jacket and color pages but I haven't seen a 'regular' edition to verify any differences. Also like D.N. Angel, Fullmetal Alchemist two different sets of covers. One is shiny one isn't (for lack of a better description...). |

Lets see... Alichino, Gorgeous Carat and RG Veda all have volumes that the first prints had colored images in the front but, The next editions did not. Legal Drug had colored pages and some strange see thru page in their first editions and Wish had different covers and colored images in their first runs. {I'm kicking myself for missing that Dust Cover.  }
I'm betting the Trinity Blood Mangas won't have the flappy attachment to the front cover in the second run but, Still waiting to see on that. It's good to know in advance about Loveless, Means my scrambling to get the first prints is worth it. I do so hate missing out on those lovely colored pages. Hate it when they start a series with the colored inserts and then get rid of them in the later books. {RG Veda} |

The first edition of Vampire Game was printed with a Green cover. Subsequent printings matched the Purple covers.

I find sometimes they translate words differently in different editions. In Ceres: The Celestial Legend, in one of their prints they replaced Japanese famous names/TV shows with famous North American names/TV shows and in another they left the names but had a note explaining so and so is a Japanese singer or TV show, etc. Also, the one where they left the names, etc. they were read right to left while the other was left to right.

I'm still researching it. Thanks!
Hope it gets here in good condition. Ahh yes, fullmetal alchemist is another one, good call I forgot about that.
Oh! Scrapped Princess volumes 1 & 2 have colored pages, but 3 doesn't seem to come with one. The ones I've observed were all First Prints. |

May as well post a little FYI to this.. *sniffles*
TokyoPop's Volume 4 of Loveless has recently hit bookstores and for some strange reason, The colored insert in the Manga has been left out. I'm almost 100% certain there was one in the original, Why oh why do they do this to the poor Loveless fans.

I noticed this as well! I was wondering if my local bookstore just got in an unlucky batch. I guess this confirms that there isn't one. I wish more companies would include color pages. |

Yeah I noticed the D.N.Angelmanga silver spine wasn't on the rest of the volumes and the FullMetal Alchemistsilver covers on the first 2 volumes.
And I didn't think the clear and color pages in in Legal Drug were there for a specal reason I thought it was just something CLAMP did with there manga like XXXHolic and Tsubasa but there is a volume of XXXHolic that doesn't have a color page.

Also, do some volumes of the RG Veda have no colored page? I found a few first prints that didn't have a colored page, so it made me worried... I also found first prints of FLCL and they both have colored pages in the beginning. I thought it was a lucky find!!
I'm also wondering about the XXXHolic and Tsubasa volumes... I don't think I saw some colored pages for Tsubasa and I can't remember if XXXholic had any... argh |

I thought only the first edition of the first volume had a green spine and all printings of everything else had the purple spine. To be honest, this one just annoys me. I hate it when the spines of a series differ significantly. Also, the first printing of Gentleman's Alliance (Viz; Shojo Beat) will have a pull-out poster. The final volume of Rurouni Kenshin had a poster, but I'm not sure if that was a first edition exclusive or if all printings will have it. One or two volumes of Naruto and Yu-Gi-Oh had special printings that were glossed, but they weren't the first printings. |

Over on the TokyoPop forums people asked about the lack of colored insert in Loveless Volume 4, The reply from Peter Ahltstrom {Tokypop guy?} is that it was a goof up on their side and it was supposed to be in the Manga.....
Even in a reprint it's not that likely that the Colored insert will be added but...Never know. As for RG Veda, I remember reading that it wasn't selling well enough so Volume 5 on wouldn't have colored inserts more then likely..... |
