[edit] Summary

Cover of the manga Gokusen by Kozueko Morimoto

[edit] Fair use for Gokusen

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 the main character of the series.
it provides visual identification of the art style of this series.
there is no free alternative depicting this character.
