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?

It seems special features are worth it if you like the series

where's the "Only if it's better" choice? D:

agree. where's the only if it's better or equal choice.

Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

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.

Sorry. Forgot... And it's too late ><

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.

Excellent poll this week! Tricky choices too- I chose the last one.

I totally agree with you
