Titles I want to read based on their cover

The saying is true: you can’t judge a book by its cover. The same can’t be said for the writers and artists creating books. The cover matters!

Here are some of the titles I will probably pick up based on their covers. Some I have a vague idea about the story and others I know nothing about.

Ran and the Grey World -  Aki Irie

For this one, I know pretty much nothing about it. All I know is that this cover looks gorgeous. Not a good reason to read, but sometimes it pays off. Look at it!

Crown of Thorns - Yoko Kamio

Another one I know nothing about, only that it’s a comedy romance ( I love that combo). I’m also a sucker for pretty girls, so that’s another reason. Also, why is it so hard to find a decent-resolution jpeg of these covers? My God.

At Night I Become a Monster - Yoru Sumino

I found out this book is a novel, but either way, I’m still interested. That cover is too intriguing! Is this a horror? A psychological mystery? A character study? How could I not want to find out?!

Skip and Loafer - Misaki Takamatsu

This manga series is pretty popular among shojo fans, so hearing about it was inevitable. I know it’s a romance between a popular boy and a quirky girl. I’m a sucker for opposites-attract couples, so I have a feeling this will satisfy that itch. Plus, the artwork looks so cute and sweet.

The Girl I want is So Handsome - Yuama

Another series I know nothing about. But It’s a guarantee I will read this manga. I love Yuri, and can’t get enough of it. So to have another Yuri title under my belt would be a pleasure. Everything you need to know is right on the title, simple.
