Not what I expected but I think the cover is still nice.

No, it doesn't.

Why is PARA on the final volume's cover?

This makes no sense!

Just to clarify, This is the image I was expecting.
Perhaps they... (spoiler ahoy!)
want to try and throw some viewers off by giving them the allusion that Aer and Neviril won't be together in the end?

That's such a shame with the artbox. That makes the series go right to the bottom of the "next to buy" list...

Hopefully they'll do a premium boxset at least? T_T

No.

You seem to have trouble grasping the concept behind this release.

Well that's certainly an interesting cover, but it's quite effective.

Ah it would have been nice if they used that one.

That is the more appropriate image, though this cover manages to work in a little more flesh and is a little more tantalizing. This is one of those rare series where just about every cover looked nice. I don't envy MB having to choose which ones would make up their 5 covers...

Not having seen the show yet, I'm sure this will strike me as odd later, but for now... damn that's hot.

And so, Simoun continues it's tradition of risque covers, despite being a generally tamer show then most ^_^ The cover is nice though. Was kind of hoping for vol.9's japanese cover, but this is still great.
