* ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' is chock full of gore, dismemberment, nudity and psychological horror, and yet the cover to the manga usually looks something like [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/elfen-lied/images/9/9b/230px-Elfen_Lied_manga_volume_1.jpg this.]
** The ADV releases had 'blood-stained' covers which were more straight-forward.
* The cover of ''[[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World]]''{{'}}s manga has lots of fanservicey, yuri undertoned pictures... all of which never come close to happening in the book itself.
* The covers of the ''[[Amanchu!]]'' mangas show the girls in [[media:amanchu! volume 1.jpg|sexy]] [[media:amanchu! volume 2.jpg|swimwear]]—which — which never happens in-series. Well, at least the scuba gear still makes sense.
* The box sets and covers of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' feature characters wearing skimpy clothing they don't wear in the series (and an odd emphasis on implied [[Twincest]], which, while refuted by canon on both sides, is often used for [[Fan Service]] in promo pictures) for the first season. The second season's box art is still full of cuteness, often with Rika and Satoko. This, too, is only an accurate representation of about 40% of the series's content. The other 60% is murder.
** The [[OVAs]] are even worse; they're full of the girls wearing very little clothing. Even Hanyuu and Rika, two girls who appear to be about nine years old.
