Full color volumes: Small or Large?

[Wezenheim]

Silly thread title aside, I'm curious: do you guys prefer the large U.S. release of the Full Color manga volumes or do you prefer the size of the Japanese releases, which are about the same as a normal sized tankobon?

I think both sizes have their benefits, but I actually think I like the size of the U.S. volumes. I like how the images are larger and how it feels just a little more unique compared to other releases, it stands out a bit more on the shelf. I like the small size too, but I think Viz did a good job with the product all around.

What do you guys think?

I own the first Full Color volume in a size identical to the Japanese release, and I'm quite happy with it. I tend to prefer Tankobon size over Kanzenban size anyway.

Larger the better for me. Trying to scan panels from those small Japanese books is annoying.

Large size. No doubt.

The larger size is a huge plus. US graphic novels are almost as large as a Jump magazine.

Larger size, for sure. I purchased both, not realizing just how small the Japanese one would be. Boy, was I shocked. Way too small, in my opinion, especially for a full color release which is meant to be oohed and aahed over.

I only have one of Viz's Full Color volumes (definitely want to change that soon), but I really like the larger print size. Makes the color more of an experience and helps me to appreciate the artwork even more than I usually do.

If I could, I'd just get mine in digital. I like to have the colors on hand for reference on artwork.

Definitely the larger version.
