Yearly reminder that this happened.And then they fixed it and I paid money for it again.
I'm glad that I waited for the fixed version, it's a shame that you weren't able to be more patient.

I wasn't even aware that they were going to fix it at first. I don't regret it or anything, it just sort of sits off to the side now.
What is it with Americans wanting to shit up absolutely every aspect of anything not American in origin? Manifest destiny is outdated you cunts.
What were the replacement covers? The original Japanese?
>>123122202
Every other volume had the original Japanese covers under the western dust jackets, this one was the only one that had the western version completely replace the original.
>>123122202
>>123122316
I forgot to add that this was only in the beginning. At some point they just stopped making western covers and kept the original as it was.
>>123122104
I wasn't aware at first either, I was just planning to not buy the books if nothing changed.
Is this thread from 5 years ago?
>>123122751
Was that when the original Vol 1 was released?
We're nearing the end of the translations as far as buying goes.
>>123122402
Maybe they realized that their audience is fans of the series already that don't want changes. More sales like that instead of trying to find a new audience.
I wonder how much each individual novel moves stateside.
If they pull this shit with mahouka..
>>123124305
They won't. They haven't in years.
>tfw index finally coming
>>123124305

I didn't know there would be good covers when I bought the first one.
Can't even read it in public because it looks like a trashy romance novel instead of teasing and ECONOMICS.
I got this but as a dustcover, with the original design underneath.

Do it for Holo, bro.

It's the endless slippery slope.
Be happy good things can be financed by marketing to affluent idiots through minor-ish concessions. Be sad that good things are lessend to be marketable to affluent idiots.

World building and autistic attention to detail
Interesting well thought out magic system. See also Sanderson's law
Game of clans politics
Plot
PLOT
Autistic genius emotionally stunted MC with a great sense of dry humor that seems to be slowly developing his supposedly nonexistent emotions
Psychologically unbalanced imouto and becoming more so as the series progresses
Great side characters
Am I the only one who liked the 3DPD covers?
>>123129073
I don't really see anything wrong with this considering that they came with sleeves that had the original art.
Spice and Wolf is fine without the weeaboo connotation, some people might get turned away because they think its a cartoon story or something.
>>123128935
It's a novel. And I read KnJ while at work so don't think I have any fucks left to give about what normals think.
The worst that happens is it keeps away boring people I don't want to talk or listen to.
>>123128935
Reading\listening\doing any kind of interior activity outside is embarrassing and painful to watch.
If you are outside do stuff that has been thought for it.

He's not reading books under a tree by a river in late summer.
Reality is wasted on people like you.
>>123129758
Sorry i play football or soccer as some people call it go fishing or hiking .
Because you know, reality is plenty good when you actually interact with it.
