Unfortunately.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

As much as I love Alcatraz, and I do love Alcatraz, I've always felt that the covers are very...weak.  And this seems to be the most cringe worthy so far.  Sorry, but that's my opinion.
When to live is to die, and to die is to live, does either really matter?

Seconded. I royally despise the covers. It's almost ashaming to have them on my bookshelf... Which is terrible, since the books are awesome.

This one is the worst.

I'm pretty sure Bastille has the same pose on this cover as she had on the last one.

I actually kind of like it.  I mean, Al doesn't look TOO photoshopped, he's actually wearing a green jacket, and... I just think it's better then the rest of them.
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

You could always turn them around on your bookshelf. XD

Only the spines show, but that doesn't help, because the terribleness is staring... haunting. Waiting to torment me.
