A+ for craftiness

I'm really impressed by these recent reprints of Koushun Takami's Battle Royale from Haikasoru Books. Not only are they eye-catching as hell, but I'm assuming their vague resemblance to the packaging materials for The Hunger Games is 100% intentional (and smart). No matter where you fall on the "Who did it better?" debate between the two stories, any link to Collins's mega-popular series can only benefit Haikasoru's sales.
