[edit] Summary

Cover of volume 5 of the Japanese edition of the Beauty is the Beast manga by Tomo Matsumoto

[edit] Fair use for Beauty is the Beast

Though the picture is subject to copyright I (Ninja Neko) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

• it is a low resolution copy of a manga cover.
• it does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the manga series in any way.
• it provides visual identification of one of the main characters of the series.
• it provides visual identification of the art style of this series.
• there is no free alternative depicting this character.

The article has an image of both the English and the Japanese edition, to show the difference in cover layouts.
