This poll, suggested by Panalopy, is about the covers of manga (and manhwa, manhua, etc). Apparently (I personally don't know any cases of this, but I guess it exists) sometimes when publishers release a new version of a series, they replace the cover with something different and newer. What are your feelings on this?

I also agree. I don't mind new and updated covers (this goes for both manga & anime), as long as they are done well. I've seen a few redos that I don't like.
I also think that covers do matter (in opposition to the last choice), they are like the icing on the cake.

I have nothing against new covers as long as the old covers are included inside, or otherwise collected somewhere. For posterity, I guess.

If the new one was better. But I'd still prefer the old cover featured inside.

I'm going with my imaginary choice - Sure. But only if the new cover isn't misleading.
Nothing worse than seeing a nice new cover only to flip through the pages and see some manky 1990's stick-figures.
