A tiny design change

[Hooder]

So this is neat
The recent Lupin III – La Merveille One Shot comic

Has Lupin have a very minor addition to his usual get up
It's a very very small addition but I think it makes the comic nicely stand out

Lupin is sporting a boutonnière in his recent outing. This has me thinking on how could TMS themselves consider adding something small for a new release even if it's just for a special or something
How would you feel about a simllair idea?

I mean It's not like Lupin doesn't go through a new design once and awhile (the jacket colors of course) but how would you feel about a small addition like a boutonnière?
or maybe something for our pal Jigen? again wouldn't even need to permeant but maybe something along with a new jacket color if we ever get our Part 7?? (a man can dream)

btw this (I assume variant cover) is taken from Lee Sparks (aka Lupin Central) recent interview with Kid Toussaint and artist José-Luis Munuera
please do check it out as there's a few pages you can glance the boutonnière from different angles plus the interview itself is a very good read

Interview: “Lupin III – La Merveille”, with Kid Toussaint & José Luis Munuera — Lupin Central

While European artists have already taken a stab at telling stories involving Lupin and pals, publisher Kana's new graphic novel "Lupin III: La Merveille" is the first original Lupin III story to be produced and published in France. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we’ve sat with auth

Hmmm that is interesting. I like it, but I don't know about anything more decorative on Jigen, that doesn't seem so much his style.

It would seem out of place on any nastier version of Lupin, but maybe that's just me.

In The First, Jigen wore a very nice little vest which I think suited him very nicely~

he does also where a vest in Part 2 ep 152

Ok yes that is unequivocally good.

Does anybody know if this comic has gotten fan-translated or will ever be officially translated? I would like to read it but I doubt google translating every page would work well.

 

[Seroster]

It's maybe a bit early for that.

Also seen in vs. Cat's Eye (and both live-action iterations)! Something that's been repeated enough times I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up again.

I love that on Lupin! I think for Jigen you could consider maybe a pack of cigarettes or a lighter, but I agree that something as flashy as a Lupin probably wouldn't suit him.

As for a translation for the comic, I have a feeling it might get a US release but probably not for a few months. I doubt it'll be a priority so, don't expect an announcement for something like that to come too soon, but I think it'll happen.
