The cover is black, with a dark pink spectrum gradient title logo. The author's name is printed in solid dark pink.
The cover features all members of CP9 (sans Blueno): Rob Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, Spandam, Jabra, Fukurou and Kumadori. Lucci stands in the foreground with Hattori resting on his shoulder while the other CP9 agents are in more combat-ready poses. Funkfreed is in the background, behind Spandam.
I think that there is an ancient language and a modern language because language is something hard to pass down. In the Heian period, a certain person's diary apparently said "Young uns' these days don' know howto speak properly". It's funny how only the miserable stuff in history have been accurately passed down, so I think i'll try saying that when I'm old too. VOLUME 42 IS GON' FUCKING START BITCH.
