ngl this looks kinda ugly

We set manga to be their original releases cover /shrug

  Wasn't the previous one original? and not to mention it is also the cover of 1st volume of manga.
  Taluun 2y
  I trust the manga mod who changed it that the current one is truly the original and the old one was probably a reprint of some sort
  Basenji 2y
  Yes, but the one we previously had was from the second serialization on “Afternoon KC”
  
  The series is published by Kodansha, and was first serialized in the boys-targeted manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine before moving to the monthly manga magazine Monthly Afternoon, aimed at young adult men.

  I mean, the "second" volume 1 cover is a much better representation of the series as a whole. One made under a crunched weekly magazine schedule, the other one on a monthly schedule with time to spare in making it prettier. This seems like one of those arbitrary things where you can just pick the better looking cover since they're both volume 1 lmfao.
  Basenji 2y
  It’s not arbitrary… the manual specifies from the first print run.
  
  Images/Cover - Submission Manual
  Written Media
  For manga and light novels, where possible, the cover image must be the Volume 1 release of the original print run for the series.

  I would say that is a semantical distinction. The implication with this submission manual is obviously referring to stuff like 2-in-1 covers like the Slam Dunk ones. Or other Kanzenban releases that have different covers. The volume 1 cover that Vinland used to have, is treated as the first print run. Unlike said Kanzenban new covers.

  vinland saga started as in the weekly shonen magazine?? damn imagine what would the series be today if it stayed there
- lebremangos 2y
  Technically both are correct but it should follow the current serialization since it's still ongoing and it was not canceled or something like that
  Taluun 2y
  No, the policy is the original volume 1.
  
  That is what it should follow because that is what our standard is.

This is one of those things that are silly and insignificant but still annoying in their own way. I just hope that other manga with nice covers are not replaced by the real first covers that are worse.
- CShell 2y
  Like, I understand why they changed is and I guess I support the decision, but come on, the first one was so much better.

I think that a solution to avoid these problems would be to add a pics tab as well as in myanimelist, and that people can use the cover that they like the most, and of course that by default the cover of the first volume
