Volume 5 covers!

Okay, so these are making the rounds on Tumblr.









If this is the cover for volume 5, can I just say that I can now safely add Romano to my list of 'Manly Characters that I love'.

Just.
Have you been working out Romano? Are you finally growing into Grandpa Rome's Physique? Did you change your hairstyle too?
Is Gilbird wearing a tiny hat?

Also, is it me, or does Hungary look younger?

I really like that cover and I can't wait to see more of that volume *O*!!!
But now that everyone mentioned it, some characters are a bit different o.o'! I'll put some official pics to compare:

I think the "problem" with Romano is that he looks older... his eyes and hair seems different too: LINK 01 (http://i.imgur.com/W7XT4.jpg), LINK 02 (http://i.imgur.com/sESH8.jpg), LINK 03 (http://i.imgur.com/pRwaK.jpg) and LINK 04 (http://i.imgur.com/GZPkr.jpg)

Hmm... I think Spain's nose is a bit bigger? And his hair is more messy: LINK 01 (http://i.imgur.com/OG2rY.jpg), LINK 02 (http://i.imgur.com/K2OdW.jpg) and LINK 03 (http://i.imgur.com/721KE.jpg)

Hungary looks younger and she lost her boobs o.o': LINK (http://i.imgur.com/564rT.jpg)

Austria's hair is a bit different (and his ahoge is bigger now?): LINK 01 (http://i.imgur.com/rE8U6.jpg) and LINK 02 (http://i.imgur.com/PRLtp.jpg)

But Prussia seems the same...

Romano looks also different because his chin didn't look like that. His face was more round, with a very short jaw/chin area. Now it's long and pointy. I liked the old design better, tbh.

Oh that's true! His face is a bit more pointy now o.o'! I prefer the "old" Romano too... like, he was manly and cute at the same time... but it can be just in that cover, because sometimes Hima changes his art style, so I think the way is to wait and see what is inside of the volume (2 more weeks maybe? Oooooh I want it now!!!) -3-'...

I think it's possible Himaruya may be slowly and subtley aging the Italy brothers over the course of the last two volumes. Like with the last volume, where loads of people commented that N.Italy looked more 'mature' in his cover illustration. I think they're both becoming steadily less babyfaced. Romano looks in this like he's aged 5 years though *~*.
