   ADV's colours seem slightly warmer, but I actually prefer TokyoPop's   
   version as far as colours are concerned (ADV's looks too yellowish to me,   
   while TP's is also slightly more contrast). I don't like what TP did with   
   the title, especially the "By: Kozue Amano" - it stands out too much from   
   the rest of the picture).
