I think the "different covers" are just the packaging/case that the book+CD/DVD come with (the book inside will have the same cover as non-special-edition. I got a vol of Tenshi 1/2 Houteishiki with drama cd and it was like this) but extra art, all the same (and cute Yona-Hak art at that)-yay!! Also Shin-ah cover, yay :D Also did you see the drawings Kusanagi-sensei posted on twitter the other day (for Hak's bday, august 9? (only easily remembered because she chose the date based on the spelling of his name, ha=8 and ku=9. just so you know i'm not THAT crazy-obsessive...)?? She drew the characters in the modern day, haha :D ( ... )

You think so? Don't Yona 9 and 15 have different covers? Anyway, I'm happy that Shin-ah and chipmunk are on cover this time :) I guess White Snake is on 20? I thought I saw a list of characters' birthdays and Kusanagi explained their birthdays were based on their names :) and Soo-won's Feb 3rd: here I'm stalking Kusanagi's twitter :) I'm obsessed :P The birthday for Haku is so funny :) I hope it's included in the book ( ... )

I think the different art for Yona 9 and 15 were also packaging, not book covers. If you look at the art, they have different proportions (book, cd)-the CD one is wider (referring to Tenshi 1/2 again, there's a posterboard case with art, a plastic dvd-size case with the matching art and the disc inside, and cardboard filler to fit the book in the case next to the disc). The different editions of Last Game are the only HtY books I can think of where they actually sold with two different covers. (however, there are the occasional bonus-covers that come as prizes with the magazine: I got a few of those. Snow White had one for v7, and there's another one with the Sept LaLa issue (out in a couple days, I already ordered :) ), for v14 i guess? I'm excited to see the bonus cover for v21 next!! (that's a joke, haha. though i wouldn't mind if it did run for 21 volumes... or more ( ... )

"... not book covers"
That's good then, I don't feel deprived not having them ;) I'm hoping that the author will get to do an art book (not a freebie one given out in magazine) I vaguely remember the extra cover for vol 7, is it with chibi characters?
Now that you detailed the differences (Thanks for typing them out during your busy schedule), I will have to reread the series from the beginning in waiting for volume 12.

"i wouldn't mind if it did run for 21 volumes... or more..."
Me, neither. It doesn't seem that the story will end soon, now with the anime, it'll be more popular and likely to be longer :D

"It's just reestablishing that I am and forever will be a manga-purist :)"
Just like an adaptation movie of a book is never living up to the original material :) Also, I've read somewhere (maybe ANN) that anime is often a segue to get more readers for the series (paraphrasing here.)
