Little Stars on the Earth, on the other hand, is more of a storybook with full color illustrations. Pieces of the World is a true artbook, focusing only on the artwork. I really love her Pieces of the World artbook and is one of the most treasured artbooks in my collection.
Kaya Kuramoto is one of my favorite artists. Maybe if there were some Toradora art I’d have more interest :-/ Nothing really spectacular here in my opinion. The last 25 or so pages of the 130 page book are monochrome illustrations. The rest of the book is divided into art from his various other works, light novels, and game designs. While the characters are cute, I’m not really familiar with this light novel series. About a third of the book is taken up by Oto × Maho artwork. That’s only a small section and the illustrations are a bit small. Unfortunately, there is no Toradora art here :( There is, however, a bit of Hayate no Gotoku! art here from his work on a trading card game for the series. Yasu is the illustrator for the Toradora light novels which were written by Yuyuko Takemiya.
If you like the style as much as I do, I would highly recommend this book :) Really, I was pleasantly surprised by the the quality of this book. The main character’s, Amano Tooko, long braids are really cute too :) The images are printed on non-glossy paper but still look great. Simple character design is something which I am not opposed to when the artist is skillful and I think it works well here. The character design isn’t exactly intricately detailed with the solid, deep eyes and simple facial features. I absolutely love the light, water color-like colors used by Takeoka. Not a deal breaker, but you might want to keep that in mind if you are interested in buying. There are 73 color pages and 54 pages of monochrome sketches. There are also some sketches by guest artist Mizuki Nomura at the end of the book. This artbook is a collection of those illustrations.

Overall, the book is impressive and I would recommend it aside for the more NSFW content.īungakaku Shoujo is a series of light novels (which I have not read) and the illustrations are by Miho Takeoka. The Copyright pics have sources from popular anime like Air and FSN and games (that I don’t know ^^ ). The art is divided into sections: Original work, games like Princess Bride, and Copyright works. It’s not overly detailed, but the large eyes and flowing hair in his characters suit well. The artist also seems pretty good at pushing the limits of ecchi without actually using nudity ) While this is not a full H artbook, many of the illustrations within are definitely NSFW. After reading good things about this book from other fans, I wanted to check it out too. This is Miyami Zero’s first artbook and my first real exposure to his art. Hit the jump for some pics and more info :)
