Gunslinger Girl Omnibus Collection 6 Cover Art

Post by KalasRaven »

I just saw that the company has made the decision to use one cover over the other for the 6th collection, containing volumes 13-14. It is the one with Rico on it. I, and probably many others would like to see the volume 13 cover used. It depicts Henrietta and is a red color, which is much more interesting. Also, as the collection of volume 5 is also a picture of Rico, it would be a better idea to use a Henrietta cover this time around.

Would you please consider changing the cover art to this?

Thank you!

Ultimately, it came down to what piece of cover art made for the most sellable cover for the North American market and worked the best with our existing cover design (i.e. the vertical title down the left side). I also feel very strongly that the art for book 14 is the most representative of the entire story arc as a whole (i.e. we see Rico, Jose, Jean, Enrica, and main baddie Giacomo Dante), whereas the book 13 cover art actually serves to tip the reader off to the end of book 13 before you ever get there.

That said, the Henrietta art will be used as the spine image for the 6th omnibus, so you'll get the best of both worlds.
