Ok, I'm not sure if its the editors that do this, but my friends and I were talking and we think that the hudge red TP lable on the spins of the book are really ugly, its like when you look at your bookshelf, lined with many manga, half the series are the original way and teh other few have the red label. Now I'm not really trying to complain much, seeing as TP is my favorite manga licencers (thats why I suggested Violinist of Hameln to be done by TP) and I have a lot more manga by TP than any other. Maybe if you left the TP "mascot" *guessing that the robot thing is the mascot* with teh white/black only without the red splotch?

~~;;; gomen nasai for any misunderstandings or anything in the post, I hope I made sense.

I understand your frustration, but it's not going to happen. If you really want them to match, your best bet is to get new copies of the old books when they are reprinted. Then they will all have the red logo.

I suggested to someone that we should sell red robofish stickers for people to put on the tops of their old manga, but I don't think that's gone anywhere... ;)

Ashton,

You should know that your comments and others that we have received before this have not fallen on deaf ears. Just this month we launched a new "genre" iconography that is appearing on the bottom spine and back of the books. What we did with this new iconography is that the icons will appear on the backs of all books, but we are only putting it on the spine of #1's and beyond of new series we release.

I know it doesn't fix things but I thought you should know that you have been heard.

I haven't been out to buy new manga for a little while now, ~~;;; but I thank you both for your responding to my concern/question and will be looking for the new look of the books.
