I've read manga by Takamichi before, and his color work is really exceptional. If you want to get a good large sized book with prints of Takamichi's magazine covers, this book is the one for you. Paper quality and print quality are good. The end parts also contain interviews and artwork creation process, although these parts are in japanese. Great art book for fans!
Fair warning, the covers are for Comic Lo, so if you can't look past that this may not be a book you want to get. In that case, I recommend the manga as it is unaffiliated. For those unaffected by that stuff, go for it, the price is good for how big the book is, too!

The nendoroid arrived right on time! He's actually quite cool looking for a nendo, but still has that chibi cuteness to him. He complements Shiro perfectly--to me it would feel odd not to have both--and they even have a custom pose together (its a pinky promise) which I'm sure you can find pictures of. Very cool! Also, it might be hard to tell just from the pictures above, but the paint job on his hair is amazing. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of NGNL or just trying to complement a Shiro nendo.

The Utsutsu nendo arrived on time, and was perfectly packaged. She's very cute, and in my opinion, definitely worth it if you enjoyed Gatchaman Crowds. As the first Nendoroid I'd ever bought, I was impressed at the extras included (although I know they are standard for each Nendo)--the expressions are cute, you can switch out her hair so it is either "happy" standing up more or "subdued" where it points down, and there are plenty of accessories for her to hold/arms to pose. Also, I appreciate it alot that she is able to stand up without being on a stand like most other Nendoroids, since her hair helps her stand up! Very cool!
