Hmm I'm curious to knwo just HOW many manga out there have colour 1st pages and even a bit of the chapter in colour (cause me likely colour^^). And well, I know in most cases Tokyopop only colours in the skinny volumes :/ (booo!) Here's all I own and know about, so can anyone help me out with my quest for colour?

Angelic Layer (not all skiny but ALL have 2-pages of a colour!)
Chobits vol. 8 (skinniest of them all and only with with colour begining :/)
The One I Love (coloured for a whole chapter and even has textured pages!)
Juvenille Orion (nice colour piccie on the inside^^)
Di Gi Charat Theatre (likewise with Orion... maybe Broccoli is just nice that way^^)
Ah My Goddess: Colours (comign soon I think, has intro stories to the 3 main girls in FULL colour!!)
Fruits Basket (inside covers^^ not till vol. 2 though :/)

:/ I wish more manga had inside cover pics in colour :/ That was the bets part of Shonen Jump too was the random cover pics in colour as well as a couple pages... I'm assuming the GNs don't do that though :/

A lot of Japanese graphic novels have a few of their pages colored - but when those series are brought to the US, TokyoPop/ADV/whoever doesn't seem to want to put those colored pictures in. I think I own one series from TokyoPop that has colored pictures in it, and that's Gravitation, but I don't think many people would be interested in that. ^^;

Actually in Japan a lot of series have some color pages in the initial printing for the Antologies. They usually don't get put in the Graphic Novels though. They get gray scaled. Except for a few exceptions. One of he reason I like Ribon Magazine so much. Get all the nice color pages.

My Aria manga have a few colored pages in the begining... It must be expensive to print whoel chapters in color.

The one I love has quite a few color pages, as does the last volume of Azumanga Daioh and Pretear. I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

some volume 1s have colored pages of my JP manga

There is a JP version of Love Hina called Iro-Hina where they have black, white and orange. I don't like it personally

THe kanzenban(I think thats the spelling) which are the really nice special edition Japanese mangas have all the color pages ever done in them. HTey also have 2 volumes of the regular version GN's put in one. I have the Fushigi Yugi ones. They are really really nice. Wonderful paper quatlity and print quality. And the color pages are really pretty. =D

The Kingdom Hearts manga has the first couple of pages colored. Not sure if Tokyopop will keep it that way.

I wish the colored pages would make it to more graphic novels... Oh well. The beginning of Chrono Crusade volume 1 has a few color pages.

Fruits basket, Rizelmine and The One I Love have some color in them ^^

So does Scrapped Princess.

The 1st volume of Xxxholic and Tsubasa Resivior Chronicles do too in English.

I saw that Planetes 003, or something like that had color in the front. Didn't actually read it though, so I don't know if it's any good. The color was kinda washy, but that's all I was looking at.

Oooo didn't even know they licensed it! ...dare I read it before I beat the game? (One of those games I stuck aside cause I couldn't beat one part^^)
Ah yes the manga... Cid gets ahold of a flamethrower... heh
