AS the other comments say, it's a great book with beautiful renditions from Tsukasa-sensei, it's a soft cover book. It gives out a nostalgic feeling. Greatly recommended

This is an excellent little art book, only 30 pages, that gives some very nice character studies for the Falslander characters that are also available as scale and figma figures. It is a tacit overview of key characters, so not an issue for those not speaking Japanese, there are very few words, but lots of art.

The book arrived very quickly, well packaged. Beautiful product, a lot of pictures of the anime series

Order came in faster than I expected it too. In mint condition. Very happy with that. Arigatou CDJapan

This Book is a must have for Fans of Sumire. It has a lot of extra info on her career so far with comments by herself and staff members. It has interesting background information on her roles of various Animes and video shoots for her Music that give you a good look on how much work went into it all. There are also some nice pictures and doodles. But be aware that this book is in japanese only and you will have to know the language or use translator apps.

Incredible, I can continue with my collection of infographics of each character in the work. nice colors and details on the binder.

Dollybird 29 focuses on smaller dolls, with a generous section dedicated to Nendoroid Dolls. The outifts are cleverly adapted two-in-ones, showing how the same pattern can be used for an entirely different design depending on colours a d material used and extra details that really make a difference. The article on different fabric types makes a very interesting read, showing how different weights of fabric can change the silhouette of an outfit, which is especially important for smaller figures. Please note that the books are published in Japanese, but translation apps can come in handy. A basic knowledge of patterns is all that’s needed to make most of the clothes - the step by step visuals are very clear and helpful.

Another great volume of Dollybird, with the usual easy to follow patterns and interesting articles. This volume guides us through customising faceplates in the Nendoroid feature, as well as offering patterns for two types of outfits. There’s a large number of beautiful b.m.b outfits to chose from, too, which could be easily resized for similar dolls with a little skill.

LiSAkkos should surely buy this book to get a glimpse of their idol off the stage. Admire her early era with all the photoshoots in it. Also get closer to other rising idols at the time that will entertain you

Firstly, I was very surprised this particular artbook was still available, because it was a 2016 release and it's highly coveted among fellow fans of Persona 5. However, when I saw they were doing a pre-order for another artbook that was released in May 2024 (more on that on another review), I decided I could no longer pass this up. I warn you that it's still pricy, but no more than other third-party shops are. I do think I was able to avail of this and three others via an ongoing promotion (possibly a birthday thing because my birthday was in March and I ordered this in April). That said, it's also a whopping 512 pages of full colour, and even if I don't read Japanese as well as I used to I can still appreciate it as a treasure trove for videogame design and production work. Now, I have to give major kudos to CDJapan. They figured out I would rather get this and my other artbooks in one delivery box, so even if the original order form said these would ship at an earlier date from the pre-order book's availability, they chose to pack them all in very carefully together in one box since it seemed the pre-order release came out a week early. And when I say carefully, each artbook was enclosed in bubble wrap, which was a godsend since only the pre-order book had its own separate wrapping; it was also slightly hilarious because the pre-order book also had a second layer of bubble wrap! So all the books came clean and pristine, with no damage whatsoever. I'm also glad that they came a week earlier than expected. I was always a bit wary of third-party stores selling merchandise from Japan, but this experience has proven completely worth it. I'm hoping some of the other artbooks I'm looking for are available again so that I can keep ordering from them!

Firstly, I was very surprised this particular Persona 5 artbook was still available, because it was a popular 2019 release and it is still highly desired among fans of the videogame series particularly because P5R/Persona 5 Royal has so many quality-of-life improvements and additional story/gameplay elements. When I saw CDJapan was doing a pre-order for another, non-Persona artbook that was released in May 2024 (more on that on another review), I decided I could no longer pass this up. I must warn you that it's still pricy, but no more than other third-party shops are. I do think I was able to avail of this and three others via an ongoing promotion (possibly a birthday thing because my birthday was in March and I ordered this in April). CDJapan deserves major kudos because they figured out I would rather get this and my other Persona 5 artbook orders in one delivery box. What ultimately happened was that despite the original order form saying these 3 artbooks would ship at an earlier separate date from the pre-order book's availability, they chose to pack them all in very carefully together in one box since it seemed the pre-order release came out a week early. And when I say carefully, each artbook was enclosed in bubble wrap, which was a godsend since only the pre-order book had its own separate wrapping; it was also slightly hilarious because the pre-order book also had a second layer of bubble wrap!

I like art books but would only recommend buying them if you have a great love for the artstyle. I think out of all the Black Butler art books this is probably my least favorite, but the book in of itself is beautiful. The cover has a nice hidden illustration and the paper is thick and pretty. Definitely a must-have.

If you're a manga only fan, then some characters here may be lost on you. Otherwise, all the illustrations are lovely and the book itself is made elegantly! I definitely love this!

This is by far my favorite Black Butler art book. You can really see how far Yana's artstyle has come so far, and the new characters are all a nice addition!

Beautiful art. Book two is actually nicer than the first book. My copy from CD Japan arrived carefully packaged and wrapped, very happy with it.

The item arrived quickly and as described. The book is better then I imagined and includes a bunch of CGs, sketches, and notes. I highly suggest it for Jack Jeanne fans. FYI the text is in Japanese.

Thanks to all the team at CD Japan in helping me purchasing this fantastic book and delivering it to Wales, UK. Packaging was superb! The book is itself is just outstanding showing the production process of the best film of 2023 !

Really nice art book for fans of the series. Contains art work of all of the main characters from the series.

The book contains the timeline of the Final Fantasy 7 compilation games, a piece of information about the games, from Final Fantasy 7 on the playstation to Final Fantasy 7 Remake on PS4. It has 15 pages, Unfortunately, the book doesn't have furigana for people who can't read Kanji. And it comes with a neat black bag, that has the logo of the games and there titles on it.

First of all, this book is absolutely massive at 400 pages of art. The illustrations have been printed at very high quality, the colours look vibrant and there are some interesting tidbits about individual comic pages and panels with commentary from Rumiko Takahashi. I especially loved seeing some of the colour pages from her older mangas. All in all, a wonderful look back on the many series and artworks Takahashi has done over the decades - a real walk down the memory lane for long-time fans. The book itself also has a lovely cover design and it feels very sturdy and high quality. This immediately became one of my favourite manga artbooks ever!
