O.O Yes the cover art really does make me want to pick it up. Alot of the time if I see a cover art that is really interesting then I'll start wanting to read it :D
Even in Japan, readers of this series picked up the book because of the cover art. (The author said this in one of her notes somewhere).
But the story is great, too!
It's a good time to pick it up because then you can read most of the story at once, and you're not "???" at the first volume.
Because of you Satsuma-chan, I keep seeing new titles I want to read *giggles*
But that's not a bad thing! I just need to spend my money more wisely until I find a new job [but I do have a good bit saved up so I'm not in the hole] and I also have some paychecks coming that the company I worked for still owes me.
Cover art is very important~! It gives the future reader a glimpse of what's within the pages. I've even read that when Naoko Takeuchi made the cover art for Sailor Moon she was told that Sailor Moon's silver hair wouldn't attract attention and it was changed to yellow because yellow is more catchy to the eye [though I still would have been attracted nonetheless]. But of course... you know that it's important XD hehe but yup this is another title that will be added to my ever growing list of must-reads :D
