The cover feature shows a narcissistic self‐sorting system realized by two structurally similar naphthalene‐based supramolecular monomers, which individually form toroidal and helicoidal supramolecular polymers, respectively. Upon mixing the two monomers, they organize into self‐sorted toroidal supramolecular polymers with smaller and larger diameters, respectively. This phenomenon represents a unique outcome of self‐sorting that involves an interplay between the two monomers in their self‐assembly pathways. Details are given in the Communication by K. Aratsu and S. Yagai on page 619 in Issue 6, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900044).
