Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

Jellal is easy to rate, he basically has at least 5 everywhere, except, maybe, for defense, one point below, and yet...

Given that he was likely above Jura seven years ago considering Jura's claim of being the weakest of the Wizard Saints, you might as well given Jellal a "cool" in everything with the possible exception of his joke stat depending on what it is.

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

But from their recent fight, they both seemed to be almost on par with each other. So, by the looks of it, Jura has also gotten much stronger from 7 years ago. The only thing is, we need to see what Star Destruction can do, since it seemed to be his trump card.

Which would still put Jellal's stats as ""cool" in everything except possibly the joke stat."

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

I do not disagree with you, that's why I said "at least" 5, it's a safe assumption. I have yet to see his trump card. But other than that, this guy is extremely versatile, he even masters complicated magic like seals.

AFAIK this is the best we've got:



Large but kinda crappy-quality.

Oh wow. This guy is my new hero. High-res scans of a bunch of the back-cover-flap pics :zomg

Looks like half of them originate from bouinbouin on Minitokyo.





Also, snotna on Minitokyo had a nice Erza pic that was locked behind AnimePaper for a while:

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

Thanks! Hmm, is it just me, or have there been lots of limited-edition volumes recently?

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

I think this is like the 3-4 I've seen from them. It loses its value and exclusiveness if every other volume has a special edition cover, in my opinion.

Slightly more. One for each OVA, then this since volume 25 as compared to only one or two in the course of volumes 1-24. It makes sense from their standpoint as the special editions are more expensive than the regular editions, with an accompanying higher profit margin. Selling 60-100 thousand SE instead of normal copies is a nice boost in revenue.

To some extent, yes. Negima ha virtually every volume have an LE version, even when there was very little reason for it, and it kind of made them forgettable unless they were really good.

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

Remember this?


I found a translation on tumblr lets thank Maddieandyou's post who copied it from facebook so it might just be a rumor but its interesting enough

Rough Translation ( i do not take credit for it)
Lucy will kneel down in front of Zeref.
The picture says, “Follow the king’s order, Lucy”
“A song to yearn, I will never meet Natsu again”
Charle will probably do negative things to Wendy.
The mysterious magic power will show up very soon.
Ultear and Meredy will both participate in the tournament at its end.
A farewell to Jellal.
There is a spy in Raven Tail who is following Captain Arcadios’s orders.
Gajeel, Mira and Juvia will be on one team (perhaps in the Tag battle?) vs Raven (this has obviously changed)

Upcoming Matches:

Wendy VS. Chelia
Natsu VS. Sting
Gray VS. Rufus
Laxus VS. Orga

Other information from the picture:
Mashima said sorry to those guys who like ——— (perhaps Jellal?)
Mashima also said the story will magnificently develop in this arc.
Ofcourse Mashima could change his plans like he did with jura vs laxus

Re: Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

Oooohh..... that Zeref-Lucy stuff has gotten me excited. I can't wait!!! hopefully Mashima does do something about it considering there's been so many hints about Zeref's relationship with Lucy.

And Jellal.... seriously?? I doubt he really has the balls considering the last time it happened, Wendy "revived" him.

i know right, well Layla is the only mystery yet to solve on Lucy's part but it was fishy how Lucy did not see Zeref when she teamed up with Natsu vs kain so thats something to look forward too and would explain why levy is writing to her. If she vanishes with Zeref that is quite something xD

If he touches Jellal im betting a 'death by Jerza' fans xD

And that's not all. The spirits seem to be hiding something as well. Especially Caprico & Loke.

Now that i think about it they seem to hide something, plus they've been around for a long time thanks to the different time span between the celestial world and earthland so thy might know whats going on as well. this is exciting since the zodiac keys are all currently gathered in one place (unless yukino leaves)
