I didn't know they were blue, but then I never really cared, either.

Marvin: What sort of pathetic, pitiful people would care about the eye colour?
Captiosus: Certainly not anyone here. Shoo, fly.
J: Or post this on Stupid Little Things.
Marvin: It's too stupid for Stupid Little Things.
Captiosus: Yeah, J, and I really don't want him on our thread.
Marvin: I don't want him anywhere. I don't want anyone anywhere.

Then, again... I've never really been concerned about something as trivial as his eye color.

Because I only saw TSS cover in British version, what I noticed is that they have a lot more scraggly handwriting, where they put the title at the bottom.

Nope.

ASOUE INTERNATIONAL ART GALLERY TIME (taken from random Google Image Searches)

British TRR

British TCC

German TRR CD and the cover with a different publisher

German TCC

And the Chinese book covers are linked in this thread.

The Japanese covers are here. Don't worry if you can't read Japanese. It goes, top to bottom: book 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and the sixth book is here.

A lot of the foreign covers DO use the American art though. The French do. I think the Spanish ones do too.

I think I like the American art the best, it looks a little more mature...or something. Thanks for the link though, Luna.
