Great Manga Covers

Sort by: Showing 32 items

1. Black Butler, Vol. 6 - Yana Toboso


I adore Yana Toboso's drawing style, especially the extraordinary clothing.

2. Togainu no Chi Volume 6 - Suguro Chayamachi


The cover's colours are actually a bit stronger than in this picture. I like that rather colourful look that nevertheless transports a melancholic mood.

3. Tribal 12 Bd. 02 - Yuko Osada


I like the way the colours interact and the graphic design.
Kami-chan's rating:

4. Hellsing Volume 5 - Kohta Hirano


Love the mysterious and dark look and the characteristic colours.

People who added this item 120  Average listal rating (59 ratings) 8.1  
5. Death Note, Volume 6 - Tsugumi Ohba,Takeshi Obata


I don't really know how to describe it but I like the ornate style and that the characters come close to the looks of statues.

6. Tribal 12 Bd. 03 - Yuko Osada


Also a great interaction with the red and blue tones...

7. Bleach, Volume 25


I love Tite Kubo's way of drawing human emotion, especially insanity. Hichigo's inverted colours make it even better.
Kami-chan's rating:

People who added this item 2  Average listal rating (1 ratings) 8  
8. Soul Eater Vol. 13 - Atsushi Ohkubo


The contrast between Tsubaki's mysterious, ghost-like appearance and Black Star's ninja fighting pose looks great, but then they are connected via those marks.

9. Togainu No Chi Volume 4 - Suguro Chayamachi


A great cover reflecting varying moods. On one side I interpret hope on the other I side it's desperation.
But everyone may see it differently.

10. Soul Eater Vol. 14 - Atsushi Ohkubo


Simple, minimalistic but not less likeable.

People who added this item 7  Average listal rating (3 ratings) 9.3  
11. Neon Genesis Evangelion, Volume 11 - Yoshiyuki Sadamoto,Gainax,khara


On me it has an overall impression of restfulness but then when looking at it for a bit longer it leaves behind a feeling of mayhem and doom.
(Very interesting way of using contrasting symbolism like crosses and angel-wing'ish objects. Then the ordinary student in front of the mask of Lilith...)

12. Togainu No Chi - Suguro Chayamachi


Brings across the feeling of intensity and also drama very well.

People who added this item 4  Average listal rating (4 ratings) 8.8  
13. D. Gray-Man Vol 18 - Katsura Hoshino


It's so colourful but still transports coolness just because of the characters' emotions.
Kami-chan's rating:

People who added this item 14  Average listal rating (6 ratings) 8.8  
14. D. Gray-Man volume 6 - Katsura Hoshino


I like the Black and White effect in combination with the butterflies which again are in combination with suits.
The decent use of blue and red fits perfectly.
Kami-chan's rating:

15. Loveless: v. 5 (Loveless (Tokyopop)) - Yun Kouga


It just seems so gentle.
Kami-chan's rating:

People who added this item 2  Average listal rating (2 ratings) 8  
16. Kekkaishi, vol 18 - Yellow Tanabe


Another Mangaka that made great use of butterflies and pleasing tints.
Kami-chan's rating:

People who added this item 11  Average listal rating (8 ratings) 8.1  
17. Naruto volume 42 - Masashi Kishimoto


This must be the most beautiful and peaceful Naruto cover ever created by Masashi Kishimoto.
Kami-chan's rating:

People who added this item 11  Average listal rating (8 ratings) 8.3  
18. Naruto, Vol. 45: Battlefield, Konoha - Masashi Kishimoto


The colour contrasts work very well on this cover.
Kami-chan's rating:

People who added this item 62  Average listal rating (29 ratings) 7.8  
19. Bleach, Volume 08 - Tite Kubo


Just turning the cover upside down works for me. ;)

The darkness is greatly depicted.

I ♥ Manga and in spite of doing a film poster list I decided to list manga covers I consider to be impressive.

Tell me what you think and if you have an important addition, I'm open for any opinion. Cannot promise 100% to actually add it in the end though. (since it always is a question of taste, dayo ne? C;)

This is an awesome, awesome listXD
One could probably make a list of Kuro covers alone since they're all very good work:P
And, I've never read Soul Eater but I like the minimalistic cover too:D
D-Gray man's cool too, I loved her art between when she first started and now.
Posted: 2 years, 2 months ago at Mar 20 15:17
I think that this is best manga list on listel.
Posted: 2 years, 2 months ago at Mar 20 15:41
I love that list! Great choices!
Posted: 2 years, 2 months ago at Mar 20 16:34
@Zora: I totally agree, every Kuroshitsuji cover is brilliant :D
I was also thinking of doing an extra Kuro list although there aren't too many covers yet ;)

oh my god! great list and your description of each cover....AWESOME! :)
Posted: 2 years, 2 months ago at Mar 20 18:26
--Kami-chan, yup, I love her drawing and her fashion style for the characters, it's really pleasant to look atXD (I'm sort of being a fangirl here:P)
and yeah, only ten covers I think so far...eh, it should come up to twenty in no time lol

You want minimalist and frightening check out Arm of Kanon covers. Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal also some of the best covers alive. Anything by CLAMP has an awesome cover. and Eden: It's an Endless world and Berserk also have some insanely wonderful covers

Ran that through google translate. You're asking if they're any good. In my opinion Jack Frost is the worst of them. It's not bad, it's just the others are so much better. Arm of Kannon also goes by the name Birth. It's great, but it's not for everyone. Berserk and Vagabond, I think, are well on their way to becoming modern day classics.
