The cover feature shows how the absorption and fluorescence of an aza‐BODIPY analogue bearing a diketopyrrolopyrrole moiety can be shifted to the near‐infrared region by increasing the numbers of pendant thiophene units or by introducing electron‐donating piperidylthiophene substituents. This challenge is likened to a Ninja′s training of throwing a “Shuriken” further than ever. More details can be found in the Communication by H. Furuta, S. Shimizu, and co‐workers on page 1648 in Issue 11, 2019 (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900226).
