Ever exciting is the manga news that trickles in! I adored the CoM manga cover art back then, and it's still some of the most clean and polished cover art I've seen for the series.

Dat grey h is bugging me a little though.

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

The grey H is so weird! I love the CoM artwork. I'm sad that it is only one volume so we don't get the Riku artwork. I'd love if they humored us and put it in as a colored page inside xD

 

[Rydgea]

lol Grey H. What does it meeean? [/doublerainbow]

Yes, hopefully they'll give us the double page spread showing off the Soul Eater and Mickey. The CoM covers remind me of a cel taken from animation. I love 'em.

 

[Zephyr]

Ahh nice choice for the logo Yen Press. Makes the cover feel more sleek.

I too was hoping for the Riku cover, but Amano's Sora is so cheerful and endearing xD

I love how this is the year of KH manga, what with Yen Press' publications and the monthly wallpapers. It's really fantastic~

 

[gamerobber7]

I'll be getting the KH1 volumes but I already have both CoM's so I don't know if I'll be getting this and I do agree that grey H is a little odd.

 

[ShardofTruth]

But they grey H was always there, at least on the first volumne. I'm also more a fan of the cover for the Reverse/Rebirth story though.

 

[Taochan]

It sucks they didn't use the Riku and Namine cover. That one definitely suits CoM more than this, but yay for manga news! Really excited.

 

[Zanarkand16]

Yeah, I like the Riku art better but I'm just glad they are bringing the manga back so I'm fine with any cover art.

 

[Rydgea]

Yeah the Naminé / Riku art really better encapsulates CoM's plot, but you gotta love some SDG antics~

So true.

Preach! I'm so happy that they're releasing them so quickly after one another as well~

Now to nag them about the novels 8D

 

[Rydgea]

Also, so nice to see we can gather most of the previously released series within a couple of months! So much better than waiting till the Fall or 2014 like initially thought. @__@

Is there a specific campaign or hashtag we can spam SE's Twitter with? (#localizethenovels)

I've only seen it mentioned in passing, and mostly here on KHI. It'd be great if we came up with a quick and witty hashtag though!

Not in North America. The manga had the game Chain of Memories logo in the Tokyopop print.

But apparently this "new" is the cover used in Europe so I guess it makes sense for North America to get the same.

 

[Rydgea]

Interesting, I've never seen those European covers before. I was just wondering what meaning was behind that aesthetic choice. I guess it's just, liek, way too avant-garde for my ocd to handle. (It's really not a big deal.)

Yes, yes. Cogs turning.

1/3 of the characters gone in one tag xD

I've always really liked that cover. I'm sad that it wasn't used, especially considering how much Riku and Namine get to shine.

It would be great if the artwork was integrated somewhere in the manga... as a separate colored page at the least?
