Honestly, I don't like Viz edition and I'm glad the Mexican edition kept the original design (though we're stuck in Volume 24 -Grimmjoy- since December 2009) because I love the color combinations Kubo chose for the text and the numbers. I'd rather stay with only 24 volumes forever than spend my money on that horrible yellow/orange combination Viz chose. Hate it do death. And I proudly own Volumes 40 and 41 (of course, the ones with Ulquiorra in all of his splendour) which I had a friend bring me from Japan last December.

Japanese tankobon rock. They're a bit bigger, they include Kubo's notes (which of course I can't read) and the pictures on the spines are bigger. Though the cover in itself is like... dunno how to explain "removable" and below it you have an all black b/g with a small picture of the cover in blue/white in the middle. I'm always paranoid that the "removable" cover (the one that has the actual color picture) will break someday
