Relevent to my interests.

Especially Jareth. Toby is meh.

Random much, but when I saw the cover, my mind thought Toby/Jareth straight away and I thought, 'YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO BUY THIS~'-
And I was disappointed. Those crafty, clever Tokyopop bastards, playing on a fangirl's mind like that.

Stupid Tokyopop. At least as of volume 2, there is Jareth/Sarah, and I'm down with that.

Have they learned nothing from the massive backlash they got the first time? Not only is it false advertising but it's fucking cruel. I can't imagine why a goddess like Shurei even agreed to this arrangement.

And it's extremely pathetic that a damn COMIC ILLUSTRATOR can't even draw a respectable cover for his OWN COMIC. He draws the insides, but sucks so bad that if he drew the outside no one would give it a second glance. The kid needs to either grow some talent, or get a job he is actually competent at.

Don't blame the artist. He's just trying to make a living. Blame TokyoPop and Jim Henson Studios for being completely out of touch with what the audience wanted.

Yeah don't blame that whore. Blame the player and the pimp.

I admit it, I was suckered into buying this from the cover. :<

Although the art in vol 2 has definitely improved since the first one. Granted it still sucks, but it's getting there slowly...

Apologies for the shitty scan.

Still horrible.
But I WOULD buy it just for the Kouyu Shurei cover.

What is that monstrosity?

P.S. I'm not talking about the creature.

I'm not sure who they thought the audience would be. Any person with half a brain can tell that the primary fans of Labyrinth are female. This is not really geared towards fangirls at ALL.

Call me a bit old-fashioned but I do think that the person doing the art for manga should be able to draw and color their own cover. This is just SO misleading. The cover is just SO MUCH BETTER than the art inside it feels like you're being conned.

Especially the relatively older female fan, given the age of the movie. I can only imagine art like this passing with 9-10 year olds who don't know any better.

Fucking Tokyopop. When I heard about this manga I was disgusted at the thought but was tempted to get it because I thought Shurei was the one that did the illustrations. LIES. BIG FAT ONDORING LIES. Thank God I bothered to flip a few pages before going to the cash register.

Misleading cover art is evil and misleading. I'd buy anything Kouyu Shurei, but not like this.

If the story were even about Jareth, that would be ok. The interior artist draws a simplified Jareth, but at least it isn't ugly.

But Toby? Who the fuck cares about the kid? PEDOBEAR, THAT'S WHO.

I do not know any Labyrinth fans who would say "Toby" when queried on their preference for a story continuation.

True that. Even all the fanfic out there that concentrates on a "sequel" of sorts use him as a barely-mentioned secondary character or eliminate him entirely.

Mizumi?

Yes they did apparently. I was thinking the same thing when I saw it.

Thank you, /cm/. You just saved me from the hideous fate of wasting money on this shit. Misleading cover art is misleading.

On the other hand, bump for Jareth.

Check out the preview for the second volume here:

Interestingly, looks like they're shifting the story to focus more on Jareth and Sarah.

Not gonna save it, though. At this point, I'd rather they just finished the Toby crap and started a new manga with a different artist.

Also, sorry for boobs, /cm/.
