#ARINA TANEMURA ARTBOOK SERIES#
The Jeanne images are minimal, just a few celebrating the series ending and whatnot.
#ARINA TANEMURA ARTBOOK FULL#
Still, a few other illustrations would have been welcome of course, especially if you’re looking at this right after finishing Full Moon o Sagashite. Plus, Tanemura’s splash pages are usually pretty good. I don’t really mind, as often furoku and zen-in pictures are super rare anyway. I don’t think there are a lot of images that were made just for this collection. The others are mostly from promotional items. According to her comments, some of her drawings when they went to print look different than when she made them as well, like a dark green background looking turning more black when it went to print. Tanemura comments a few times about how the images looked in black-and-white, so you can always pull out the manga and see what didn’t translate well into greyscale. It makes me want to cut them out and glue them over the pages in the volumes to make my own deluxe version of the manga. The vast majority of pictures are of the colored splash pages from the original magazine serialization. The images of the covers are pretty unnecessary, since if you are interested in the artbook, chances are, you already own the series. I think here the text is very readable, and each piece of text has a colored icon in the shape of playing card symbols to help match it to the correct drawing.Īs usual, there are a variety of image types and shapes. On the other hand, having all the comments at the end of the book might be easier for some people to read since it doesn’t need to be in as small of font. Personally, I like this better since it’s easier to go between the artist’s thoughts and the picture itself. Tanemura’s comments are included by the illustrations themselves. Like many artbooks, the volume opens with a lace insert. The actual cover is a sketch from one of the manga’s title pages. The title on the dust jacket is gold foil.
It’s not too surprising since Kyoko was released after Jeanne, which had its own artbook. I named the other series included in the About section, but I would say Time Stranger Kyoko gets the most attention out of the that list. But don’t worry if you are only interested in Full Moon it isn’t until about 2/3rds of the way through that other illustrations start popping up. As I mentioned, this isn’t strictly a Full Moon o Sagashite artbook.
