First Jing. Is the whole set (vol. 1-7) in a holographic/shiny form, cause i dont think ive ever seen 1-3 shiny. I just wanted to make sure before i bought them, cause id rather have them all shiny :)

The next question is about scryed and jojos bizarre adventure (mangas of course). Is it just me, or does the artwork look similar? I dunno, it just seems like the eyes are very similar, the covers use strange colors on both it seems, and (i dunno how to explain this exactly) it just seems like the overall art is similar in how there is a bunch of stuff going on...i guess...lol. Well I guess what im wondering is that did one get some sort of inspiration from the others art, is it strictly coincidence, (is it just me...?), or what?

In any case, I like the art very much in both...hmm dont know exactly why though, i just do heheh.

I'm pretty sure that all 7 volumes of Jing are shiny. Or maybe that's the 6 volumes of "twilight tales" x_X Or maybe both are shiny? I don't remember anymore... I'm pretty sure the copy of vol 1 that my friend loaned me a while back was shiny, though.

Every volume in both series, if you bought first editions, is holographic covered.

As for Jojo and Scryed, I had a feeling that's what the question was going to be. Anyway, no, they have different artist, and if you look closely you'll notice differences in details, but it isn't farfetched at all to say that Yasunari Toda(Scryed) was influenced by Hirohiko Araki(Jojo). JoJo's Bizzare Adventure has been around much longer than any of Yasunari's works and as you have noted, there ARE alot of similarities in overall style.

Yeah, all mine are "shiny/holographic" as well. That's too bad Susaku about the third volume. That would seriously annoy me.
