Shuudan got a CP for Vol1 reprints and got axed from what I remember. Cross Account sold well in Vol 1, but I have no idea whether it had reprints.
Oh, I see that's interesting. Was Shuudan very low on the TOC?
Never bothered to look into Viz's Kimetsu before but holy hell this is bad. Is the team doing this drunk or something?
Kimetsu pretty much got the complete package treatment by VIZ: bad logo, dubious TL choices, grammatical errors, 0 consistency, and often times I have to wonder if the translator even reads the series since a lot of things that may seem "fine" at first glance actually don't make sense with context.
I wonder how will the new volumes be. If they will have the same mistakes. If I'm not wrong, they are releasing 1 volume per month, so the work is faster.
Funny how this series that is based on emotions have the dullest looking logo, imagine being someone who is completely new in Shonen seeing act-age cover with barely to see dull logo. Like man...
People complained just like some over here said they like it, then others tried to counter those who complained and therefore this discussion keeps ongoing.

It's not the worst thing they've done but that's not even the point here. A bad logo is bad. Just because its "better" than some of the other bad logos they've done doesn't mean this is automatically acceptable.
Yikes, atleast it isnt as bad as Haikyu!!, I can't even read the chapters weekly anymore without cringing, the constant addition of western terms like "bruh" "dudes" "my bruhs" etc is just dumb, not to mention they change alot of lines so the original lines lose their intended meanings, (Ch.365 VIZ version is probably the worst offender, it completely killed what Furudate was going for with Kageyama/Hinata) they even changed the iconic "NICE RESHIBEU" and "ONE TOUCH" to stuff like "bump" "dig" etc. And don't get me started on the stupid name changes they do with the chapters and volumes
Nice to see they are adding more data to these charts.Video Research has added new data to their weekly ratings chart. Now, they publish the nationwide average number of people who (yellow column) and the number of people who tuned in for at least one minute (middle column), with the last column showing the number of regions that were analyzed (maximum of 32). MHA 88 had an average viewership of 3,505,000 people, with a total viewership of 9,547,000 people in 28 regions. Since this data is new, there's nothing else to compare to yet, however, the most curious part of this is that OP is not on the list (the ratings point chart we've been getting only accounts for the Kantou Region.)
Manga is a team effort just as music and film.People complained just like some over here said they like it, then others tried to counter those who complained and therefore this discussion keeps ongoing.
Your assumption is that most creators don't care. But its a lot safer to assume that when someone creates a work of art, they are more likely to care than not care.
I don't know why you gave music as an example since there are so many artists out there who actually care about how their album and art in said album are represented since it's part of their album's experience. Its why you have artists like the Weeknd or lady gaga who even change their physical appearances for an album because its an extension of everything around that album.
Something as commercial as films where a 1000 people are involved is a different story.
Fujimoto's color palette and composition of a color page is very unique in WSJ at the moment. It'll be wrong to assume he wouldn't care about the volume covers which he obviously draws and colors in himself.
See Volume 5 and tell me this isn't something that could potentially be ruined with Viz's logo.
Don't get me wrong, Viz probably got approval from WSJ to go ahead with the logo change but it's also on Viz to meet the vision of the artist instead of just half-assing it.
And Viz deserves criticisms because only if they get enough will they do better. People have already stated the amount of mistakes they make.

As we expected. There really might not be any anime dropping in the summer.
I wanted to try something. I just put the logo in vol5 cover.People complained just like some over here said they like it, then others tried to counter those who complained and therefore this discussion keeps ongoing.

... It actually doesn't look that bad, when you put the logo like that.I wanted to try something. I just put the logo in vol5 cover.
Sorry if the cleaning looks terrible, I made everything from my phone lol.
I'm very confused. You're comparing manga which is more visual art to literature. Authors aren't visual artists and therefore their publisher hires artists to interpret the author's work and create logos and covers accordingly. Those artists cannot go about making whatever they want. They make something that visualizes the original work's vision.

A+ for the effort.I wanted to try something. I just put the logo in vol5 cover.
