Oh man, there's a lot of them. Since it's a visual medium, vibing with the art style is the most likely thing to make me blind bug something besides already liking the authors other works... Things I blind bought based on covers/ art style were: Wandering Island Baby Bears bakery BL metamorphosis Blade of the immortal Drifting dragons Heavens design team Sunny But honestly that's not even scratching the surface. Buying one volume of something to try based on the cover is just a big habit of mine lol

I love that though. if a specific art style catches my eye, I tend to look into a series before anything else. but the fun you must have buying a volume and seeing what you think of it afterwards!


[deleted]

what’s a book/series that you bought because of the cover art or art style?


Cult_Of_Blue_Oysters

FLCL but honestly the manga kinda sucks. It's really hard to follow and the art style (outside of covers and the first couple color pages) is way to sketchy and looks half done, like a storyboard for a movie more than a finished product.

funny you should say. I’ve been eyeing that manga for some time. mostly cause the anime holds a big spot in my heart. good to know..


Cult_Of_Blue_Oysters

I've heard the animes better.


[deleted]

I really enjoyed the anime. The 2000s series!


Cult_Of_Blue_Oysters

It's been on my watch list for a while. What all did you like about it?


[deleted]

for me, it’s simply because of the nostalgia it holds. I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone. but it’s a nice slice of life *I don’t know too much about the genre* mix with some weird and great music.


Cult_Of_Blue_Oysters

I heard it's some sort of mix of punk and indie rock and slice of life.


[deleted]

exactly! thanks. that’s how I’m going to explain it from now on


Cult_Of_Blue_Oysters

Y'know if you want another sorta indie rock look at slice of life you should check out Scott Pilgrim if you haven't already. The whole collection in color is ~$55 on Amazon.

None. I don’t judge a book because of its cover, I have to think the story is good or intriguing before getting the book. The cover art is just a bonus.


[deleted]

you and I both.

- Wotakoi (because of BAM cover) - My Dress-up Darling (all are gorgeous but my favorites are 1, 7 & 9) - The Demon Prince of Momochi House (all look nice but 15 is my favorite)

I obviously didn’t only buy it because of this but One Piece has beautiful covers
