Is your book a graphic novel/manga?
Please take care to use good grammar when making a post!

No, I just couldn't find any real people that would suit the looks of the characters in my story...although I adore manga!

Well, I have to admit that I probably wouldn't pick this up. It looks like an unoriginal graphic novel. Anime faces are so over used, and it's not even clear what it's supposed to be because of the white lines and red thing in the middle. I like cover art with an image, something that I can remember, and all I really get from this is confusion. Sorry. :O

not to mention those people are probably copyrighted...
Actually, I like the look, but for a graphic novel, not a book.
No more countin' dollars... we'll be countin' stars.

Enter, if you dare.

Yeah, I think it's just a bit cluttered. It looks like four random characters from different shows all pasted together, and the image you posted on top doesn't really help. It also makes this look like a graphic novel, which you said it wasn't. Maybe it would help if you drew these characters on your own, with a nice background, and made that your cover.
The bad news is we don't have any control.
The good news is we can't make any mistakes.
