No, this isn't about the actual story, but the books that Tokyopop publish (a question more for those who have most/all the volumes out so far).
So I just purchased the 4th volume and I noticed something: When I got the 1st volume, the inside covers were black and white, but when I got the 2nd and 3rd volumes, thewy were nice and coloured^^ ....but now the 4th went back to black and white v_v
...is this and ongoing trend now? I assumed the colour would continue... and I like my colour v_v

Yep. Upto the most recent volume, they all have color scans in the back and front cover. Ooooh, glossy colorfulness.

...did your 4th volume have it too? (Just since mine didn't :/) I'm just wondering if it's one of those "limited quantities, so if you get a new copy it won't have it" type of thing :/

It could be an issue of re-prints. I know I got all of my Furubas when they were hot on the shelf, but maybe in later "editions" (technically this is still 'first' but publishing stuff is weird like that) they started adding color to the first ones.

Gotcha. Guess it's one of those disadvantages to collecting thing later on when they're released^^ Sort of like DVDs and those limited edition stuff like pencil boards they come with.

in my japanese furubas, the inside flaps are in color, in case anyone's interested.

One thing I did notice on mine too, is that the cover seems to have an extra layer of shiny gloss on it (trying to make it for lack of colour?) I'd prefer the colour pics than extra shininess v_v I also find it weird when a company like Viz changes the texture of covers... like early Kenshin volumes used to be rough and then became shiny, and seems like they are doing the same thing to Full Moon too.
