Forum:Colored Manga Images in Infoboxes

This is something that's been bothering me for a long while. Why is it that, in our manga/anime infoboxes, we sometimes have images depicted in volume/chapter covers or even color walks? These images are very detailed, completely colored, and look great...but don't actually depict how the character looks in the manga. The manga, aside from the very rare coloring of a few pages, is completely black-and-white. The volume and chapter covers aren't actually part of the story, or even part of the world. They're just there to draw the attention of the reader, not depict its characters in a new environment. When you open up a manga, this is not the Luffy you see. This is. I'm sure the animation team also works on some of the merchandise, but we wouldn't use that on the anime part of the infobox, would we? That's why I think we should prioritize what's on the page rather than what's on the cover. Remember, the world of One Piece may be in color, but the manga is in black-and-white. 01:21, August 4, 2014 (UTC)
