Line 16:
* The spines of the Finnish volumes of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' form pictures, each taken from the cover art of some of the volumes. The last one cuts a bit short. When they accidentally misprinted one of the spines with wrong picture, they provided the correct picture on their website, so people could print it and glue it on top of the wrong one.
** The original Japanese collected editions all had female Ranma's mugshot (in a variety of colors) at the top of the spine. Mainly comedic, romantic, or filler volumes would depict her with a whimsical or cute expression; volumes that were predominantly serious or action-oriented would instead give her a determined, or even ''fierce'' one. The final volume gave her a genuinely happy look.
* The spine art of [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]] is this; each volume features the basic metallic gray, red and white color scheme and a single character on the side of the tanokban. Thanks to the series' sizable lifespan it ended up showcasing practically every major character, and the Elric brothers more than once, due to [[Character Development|significant visual changes]]).
** [[Natsuki Takaya]]'s [[Fruits Basket]] [[Shoujo|shoujo manga]] did the same thing.
*** Same with [[Yuji Iwahara]]'s ''[[Cat Paradise]]'', [[Koge Donbo]]'s [[Kamisama Karin]] and its sequel, [[Hiroyuki Takei]]'s [[Shaman King|various]] [[Karakuridouji Ultimo|series]], and many more.
