Beautiful Summery Tapestry

Permalink

This is a huge, practically life-sized tapestry of Kamio Misuzu from KEY visual novel AIR! The print is nicely detailed on a soft high quality fabric. There is not much merchandise from this KEY series, so you can't miss out if you are a KEY fan or fan of Hinoue Itaru 's art!

Collection of cute art from various anime!

Permalink

I bought it mostly for the Higurashi, Ichimashi, and PitaTen artwork, and this book definitely delivers! It's a nice sized artbook with a pull-out PitaTen poster. My favorite part is the 70 pages of Higurashi promo art. If you enjoy the series that Sakai Kyuta has worked on, you will love all the cute and detailed art!

Another beautiful doujinshi by asahiro!

This is a great doujinshi for any fan of asahiro's artwork! It's a good average-sized doujinshi with lots of detailed and elegant art. I hope to see more of asahiro's art books!

Super cute!

This is a great cushion that I'm currently using as a backrest for my desk chair. It's made from a soft boa like material. For any Rilakkuma fan or lover of kawaii things!

Gorgeous watercolor stype doujinshi!

Izmi Toyoda delivers again with a beautiful doujinshi based on constellations. The book is on the small side, but it does not detract from the lovely art. I highly recommend this doujin and Izmi Toyoda's other wonderful watercolor art!

Layton Series Fanbook!

Permalink

Great book for any professor Layton fan, it covers a lot of material and information about the Layton series. Might be difficult if you cannot understand Japanese, as there is a lot of info on the history of the game series and interviews.

Beautiful tapestry by Noizi Ito

Permalink

This is a gorgeous tapestry by famed artist Noizi Ito! It is huge and made from a lovely soft fabric. The print is high quality, super detailed, and colorful. The artwork is original for the Eshi 100 exhibit in Japan. Definitely worth it!

Short, sweet book based on stamps

Permalink

This is a small doujinshi with a very cute theme of being based on postage stamps! It is drawn in a cute watercolor style, but is a bit on the short side, and is quite small even for a doujinshi. In all it contains only 5 images, loosely based on various Japanese postage stamps. If you like Hiiragi Miyako's watercolor style, give it a try!

Cute Kotori T-shirt!

Permalink

This is a nice quality t-shirt with the screenprinted image as shown in the photos. I love the stars on the front, and the bird pattern really suits Kotori. Great for any Kotori fan!

Nice Colorful Artbook for Fans of Papakiki!

Permalink

If you are a big fan of the light novel artwork from Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai (Papakiki), this book is for you!
This is Nakajima Yuka's first official art book, containing mostly art work from Papakiki. There are about 100 pages of full color Papakiki artwork, as well as 30 pages of original work and collaboration works from other series. For me, I know Nakajima Yuka's mostly from her doujinshi work under the name Digital Lover and was hoping for more artwork from her other series. But otherwise it's a great art collection with lovely full color artwork!

Cute Sticker Set!

Permalink

This is a great set of stickers for any fan of KEY visual novels! It contains stickers of the key visual art (no pun intended) for 5 of KEY's most recent VNs. They are nice and colorful 3.5 inches diameter each. They are a bit pricey for what you get though; they are regular quality promo stickers kinda like the ones that TOM includes for free in your purchase. But as a KEY fan, I love getting small trinkets to show my love for KEY!

Amazing Doujinshi Set!

Permalink

This set consists of two doujinshi which I will review separately:

"Marisa’s Adventure in Wonderland" is a very unique pop-up douijinshi. I don't think I've ever seen another pop-up doujinshi before, so it's amazing to see something like this! The story is short and simple. But the art is detailed and whimsical just like a fairy tale.

“THE HARMONICS STORIES” is a lovely doujinshi with illustrations by my favorite artist, Fujichoco. The story even has a PV and theme song you can watch, which really enhances the experience. The art is gorgeous and is a treat for any fan of the artist or stories about music!

Impressive Doujin from an Up-and-Coming Artist

Permalink

I was unfamiliar with Fuumi's work so I took a chance and bought this doujin because of the cover and the fact that her art is done entirely in Copic Markers.
There are some wonderful pieces in this book such as "Pearl Princess in Love" with gorgeous backgrounds and tons of detail. The colors are super vivid and jump off the page, very Fujichoco-esque. There are some pieces with awkward anatomy and faces that distract from the art a bit though. However I'm looking forward to seeing her art develop with time!

Great Artist!

Permalink

I am a big fan of Kawaku's art and this doujin certainly delivers! There is sort of a 'swan' theme throughout the book which is quite fun to look for. It's a standard length for a doujinshi, with lovely detailed full-color images. Great for any fan of Kawaku or anyone looking for a new addition to their doujinshi collection!
