Komeshiro Kasu – Girls Planet (Genkosha, 2022) – My Comment

The artbook, titled Girls Planet by Komeshiro Kasu, features mostly original illustrations by the artist. It counts 176 pages in A4 format. Printed – traditionally on high-quality, thick paper. At the very end of the publication you will find a step-by-step description of how the artwork seen on the cover was created. The same drawing, only in full version on two A4 pages, we can see in the artbook itself. At the end is an interview with the author, under which is a nicely realized timeline with examples of Komeshiro Kasu’s illustrations from particular years. The last pages are devoted to an introduction to the origins of the images we have previously seen and the years in which they were created including a brief description of each.

The quality of the print is more than satisfying. Colors look vibrant and the amount of detail is stunning. The lettering on the cover was done using thick hologram foil, which enhances the aesthetic aspects quite a bit and gives the impression of a premium product. I’ve been following Komeshiro Kasu for a long time on pixiv, so an artbook with his works in my collection was basically a matter of time. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any collector.

Before moving on to the gallery, where you will be able to see some photos of the contents of the artbook, it is appropriate to show how it looks from the outside.

This is how it looks in the wrapper:

Kantoku – Imouto sae Ireba Ii. Art Works (Shogakukan, 2020)

This time, the review focuses on an artbook featuring the characters from a light novel called Imouto sae Ireba Ii. The visual part was handled by Kantoku. Most people probably know this title from the anime adaptation. Unfortunately, to put it mildly, it did not even come close to completing the source material. Nor is there likely to be any hope for a second season anymore.

Murata Range – Futurelog

I assume that not many people interested in Japanese art don't recognize the author, or at least his unique style. This beautiful artbook is covered with wrapper and protective clear film - English-language versions of Japanese artbooks or manga usually don't have these, so good job, Denpa Books.

Mateusz Urbanowicz – Tokyo Storefronts (MdN Corporation, 2018)

Tokyo Storefronts is a collection of illustrations by Mateusz Urbanowicz. He probably doesn't need any introduction (at least in my country, because he's from Poland), but I'll just write briefly that he went to Japan to study the art of drawing. The fruits of his work in the form of backgrounds can be seen in the movie Kimi no Na wa (and to have such a thing in your portfolio is really a feat for a gaijin).

Akasa Ai – Red Queen (Kadokawa, 2022)

The artbook named Red Queen published by Kadokawa is a collection of original illustrations by Akasa Ai. It counts 128 A4-size pages printed in full color on excellent quality paper. Print quality is impressive - especially when viewing the whole thing live. The publication is divided into eight chapters. The penultimate one shows the author's creative process, while the last two pages show thumbnails of all the pages.
