its literally an average-at-best portrait shot, who cares about the race of the subject? the only “weeb” part is the japanese on the cover. the art itself is very well done. just recognize your taste in art is low brow at best and move on, friend

this shows how retarded you are and how you need to be spoonfed basic concepts. what singular image would you have chosen to perfectly encapsulate what either 2666 or GR are about? needless to say, i highly doubt you’ve read either, based on your choice of “good” cover art. women need to lurk more like everyone else if they do feel the need to visit this site

It's funny that you mention that because I found about this cover because it appeared in Demi-chan wa Kataritai, a great anime.
