This book is really good especially if you're like me and can't figure out how to draw guys in anything more than the standing position. It's thicker than I thought 175 pages. I really like how each position is broken down so you get a better understand of how the body works. The pictures are simple too so this is really a learning book. I cannot read Japanese but as I said, each pose is broken down so you can figure it out. This book is more about how to position the body so if you want faces too you'll need another book. Still fabulous book highly recommend.
