Konomi – ArtWorks (Kadokawa, 2022) – My Comment

Konomi’s most popular illustrations are the covers of the Liar Liar light novel. In the reviewed artbook there was no absence of material depicting the heroines of this title. In addition, we can see also here the original works of the creator, as well as the heroines of another light novel – Cross Connect (interesting fact – with a similar theme as Liar Liar). Many publications from the Touhou universe have also come out from under Konomi’s brush. Some works were also included in the described publication.

The artbook has 128 pages in A4 format. The whole is divided into five chapters. Presented consecutively – works from light novels, unspecified publications, doujins, Touhou and bishoujo games. The last part is a special section with a corssover of Liar Liar and Cross Connect in the form of a short light novel chapter. Of course – in Japanese. At the very end a very short interview with the author. In each chapter, the illustrations include captions where exactly they came from (in Japanese only).

The overall print quality is absolutely stunning. The colors are vibrant and the amount of detail is literally amazing. Not all illustrations take up an entire A4 page. Occasional black and white works can also be found, although those in full color definitely prevail.

Konomi – ArtWorks is the perfect entry in the collection for enthusiasts of cute illustrations with lots of details. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Liar Liar or Cross Connect, but the design style of Konomi’s characters just really appeals to me and simply couldn’t miss this artbook in my collection.

Kantoku – Sailor Fuku no Mannaka Anthology (Wani, 2019)

Another Kantoku artbook in my collection. This time it's an anthology under his leadership with the theme of Japanese sailor school uniforms, or rather girls wearing them. The publication includes works by various artists, not just those of the initiator.

Konbu Wakame – Soleil (Art Jeuness, 2023)

Konbu Wakame is the artist responsible for, among other things, the drawings in manga such as Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai!, Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii and Sekai de Ichiban Oppai ga Suki! Although there is a bit of character scrolling on many pages, it is the heroines of these titles that Soleil puts in the foreground. It is, of course, about Jahy in two forms, Lilith and Chiaki. A nice touch is that many of the works depict the aforementioned heroines posing together.

The Best Masterpieces of 100 Eshi ver.3 (BNN, 2017)

Eshi 100 nin – ver.3 is a collection of carefully selected illustrations by 100 artists (very well known and respected), twenty of whom have done their work exclusively for this publication. This is the third edition in the series, yet again in B5 format. The publisher boasts that Brilliant Pallet (ブリリアントパレット) technology was used for printing, allowing for almost complete reproduction of the original colors.

Hiro – “Akebi-chan Made no Ashioto” (Shueisha, 2022)

Hiro is an artist you can't pass by indifferently. His drawings have something mesmerizing about them and catch your eye, even when you look at them knowing them perfectly well. When I first saw some manga panels from Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku a few years ago, I immediately purchased all four volumes that were available at the time.
