>>290374When I'm buying a licensed comic book, I want to hold in my hands a proper release that is at the very least identical to the size the original published tankobon, I don't want a book with altered proportions.
The cover, dust jacket (if they're also pulling a paperback bullshit) and overall book graphics are going obviously going to get changed but changing the measurements of the book is just awful and unnecessary.
Also, the fuckers charge the same money for those abominations and do an awful job a resizing shit (no more Amanchu and Hyouka for me unless they fix and reprint the shit they've erroneously cut off).
