Summary
"The Volume 7 cover rough. Railgun S is airing now, so we need to use these two to boost the sales as much as possible!...is not actually the reason behind this. In reality, I was told to not give away any spoilers or hint at any dangerous atmosphere with the color illustrations. While I was deciding on illustrations that would overcome the many hurdles that set before me, I eventually chose these two for the cover by process of elimination. That is also why I did not use my original idea of putting Tsuchimikado and the elder Kumokawa sister on the cover. It would have been impossible to hide the dangerous atmosphere with those two on the cover."―Kiyotaka Haimura
