The above image is by master Berserk mangaka Kentaro Miura, known for his intricate portrayals of fantastic horror and epic dark fantasy. He has decided to write manga for the female market instead.
Lady mangaka 羽海野チカ / Chika Umino, who writes for the female demographic, received the above fine cover for her 3月のライオン / March’s Lion manga.
She apparently first drew a special cover for Berserk:

How nice of her. Fans need not worry; this looks not to be a regular arrangement. Miura has these words by way of explanation: “Drawing in the style of Umino was good fun.” Not satisfied with designing “free” vocaloids it seems.
In case you were wondering about his usual work:










Highly recommended.
Amazing artwork, though I must say "not my type of manga". ^^;
The manga is pretty brutal, but the plot is wonderful... there's been dips in quality though, but overall this is a VERY good series.
.......*shivers*
For those that might be sceptic, the manga is not ABOUT violence, it does have a quite "epic" story behind it to back it up.
Sorry, but anyone who says Berserk is not about violence is in self denial. While it's true that it does have an epic and excellent storyline, oftentimes it just turns into another convenient excuse to engage in more gratuitous violence.
Berserk cannot be berserk without this violence, but it'd also be only a fad without the storyline.
Sure, its about violence, but its not just violence for the lure of violence. Everything does have its place and its use of violence/rape is a tool to bring the story further. Its a difference between it having a story and having violence in it, and being a story ABOUT violence.
For that I read Gantz, now that is a manga about violence (although quite good still, but the story isn't really evolving).
The violence is like the cherry on top.
I'll be waiting eagerly for the hidden penises he hides in this girls manga.
I love both manga great story in both of them^^. Anyone know how to get these dust jacket?
This is just a one time thing right? To return her favor or something?
Berserk is great. My favorite manga to date.
wow! that's amazing O.O
his artworks are gorgeous
For a second there I missed 'usual work' and was trying to figure how in the hell that was shoujo manga.
I noticed a the black & white comic has a Moebius (Jean Giraud) overtone look to it. Nice...

Just wanted to note that March's Lion isn't aimed at a female audience, but towards a male audience. Her former work "Hachimitsu to Clover" was intended for a female audience, though.
