← view full thread · Vinland Saga - why they changed the poster
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.
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.
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.
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
