Re: Another
AFAIK there won't be any change to the content (unless maybe additional furigana). I am not even sure if there will be any additional illustrations inside the book, though I will certainly be happy to see more Mei cuteness.
As Lare said it is all about marketing. As much as we have been taught not to judge a book by its cover, there are ample research evidences showing that first impression does matter. In fact the Japanese publishing industry has been using manga style covers to attract the younger reading public for quite some time. Classical segmentation marketing for different target audiences isn't a new invention after all.
Ningen Shikkaku with a cover illustration designed by the mangaka of Death Note is a too well known example, and I am sure any self-respecting Japanese novel fan knows about it already. But even philosophical non-fictions like those by Descartes and Alain and are catching up with this trend.
Is it too much of a stretch to see a fictional series which already has (or going to have) its own manga, anime and movie adaptation to adopt a manga style cover?
Btw not exactly related, but I have written a mostly spoiler-free review of Another in my blog (in runes as usual). Please feel free to take a look.

Re: Another
Is it me or that cover looks as if it was drawn by Miho Takeoka? Mostly because the colors are light...Doraneko wrote:

Re: Another
Well, I've checked out the LN version today at Kino. The colors on the real copies look better than the images posted on kadokawa webstore. There are only 4 color pages (2 actually, they were folded pages). No other illustrations inside.

Re: Another
How does this LN deviate from the anime's story? Specifically? Another is a one volume LN, right?

Re: Another
Hey, who are you talking with? Kinny already said that he would take 'Another' when 'Hyoka' is translated. If he didn't change his mind.
Just wait.
