Nice cover so far. Although from a design standpoint, I would make some kind of setting in the background where the white is behind the characters, just to give a sense of place to the story, instead of putting the characters in a vacuum by themselves. Also, the characters seem to have lots of highly contrasting colors to them. I don't know if that's your design preference or whatever, but I would give them a color scheme that's not quite so jarring. Unless that's what you're going for. I assume the boy with the red hair is the main character, so maybe have him stand out a little more by putting a thicker black outline around him, and making the ones wearing black behind him wear a dark grey instead, or something that kinda resembles black but isn't solid black. The solid black would work on the inside of the manga, if you used white near the outlines so they don't blend together, but for the cover, I'd avoid using solid pitch-black. Just my opinion.

Lates,

Well the above guy commented well on the bg. The white is a bit much. A texture may work if you want to avoid using an actual setting. As for the line art, you still need practice, as we all do. The one character that stands out as poorest is the female. Her face and hair are well done but the body is lacking in comparison. One breast is bigger than the other, her arm is in an unnatural position and her torso also feels unnatural. Also you should draw her past the staff rather than having that very random blank spot below the staff where she apparently turned invisible. Your strongest point is certainly the red head. Good pose, nicely drawn. Okay! Keep working, have fun and good luck.
