Sure hope that's not the final artwork

Not that I love this manga or anything. I think I've mentioned how awful the typesetter and/or cover designer at Tokyopop is. I didn't think BLU had the same awful person, but if the above is the final artwork, it is the same person. Looks like scribble, scribble, scribble, click on ugly font, type, type, type, click on ugly add-ins.

Yaoi manga have some ugly cover illustrations; usually with two guys performing acts of contortion. One guy usually has his shirt open and butt sticking out. Sometimes the cover just has two guys groping/hugging with constipation written on their faces.

I do like these covers. The font choice and placement are great. The characters look like they are part of some kind of wealthy gentlemen's club; the secret, naughty kind...haha.

Speaking of such things...

Level E 8! Haha, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the beginning threw me off track. Kraft is a great character; spastic, extreme, etc. The Prince actually leaves him alone in this episode. The first arc was a sci-fi parody, the 2nd was a sentai parody and this was a romantic comedy parody...with the alien twist. The sparklies were a nice touch as was the use of the Santa statue.

i wonder if they paid someone to do cover designs, since it looks something a teenager can do with Photoshop. Title font looks like a free font taken from the internet T v T
