Quick question for everyone, the manga from Tokyopop that has mini-posts seem to only have the poster for the first printing of that manga. Can anyone out there confirmt that?

I am in the process of reading some of the longer series and I have some manga that have the poster and some that do not - the only difference between them seems to be the print run (either that someone is stealing them in the store >.<)

I noticed this when I bought Gravitation... but TP really inconsistant when it comes to extra goodies. Anime cry Some of the books just had smaller, grey-scaled versions of the mini-posters, and some had larger color versions...

Psychic Academy is the reason that I am asking Laughing right now I have vol. 1-5, and 2-4 have posters in them. As far as I can tell it looks like the first printing of the vol. has the posters where as the others do not.

Are all the mangas even out yet? Wait Anime smallmouth ...I jusy ckecked in [url]Tokyopop.com[/url] and it said that there're 11 volumes and only 8 are out. So probably one of the other later mangas might have the posters.

Also, what do you by the "first printing"...Yea, Im kinda slow.

a first printing is the first batch of books that they print, if there is more demand they will print a second batch, sometimes the differet printinfs will be different in appearance, as TP does alot.

Well, it's like I said - all of the mangas have the poster, but only if they are from the first run of books printed. Ones after that don't have the poster. So this means if you order from online, or just go to a lousy bookstore, there is a chance that you might not be able to find a manga with the poster in it.
