Yami no Matsuei - Sketch Book

Artist: Yoko Matsushita
ISBN: 4-592-73175-1

Attributes: Fly-leaf - Printed the Western way (this is a little confusing) - Silver stickers inside.

REVIEW: I thought that this art book would disappoint me, being mostly chara sketches... But was I ever wrong. There are some wonderful sketches in this book, and look as if they have been done on the fly with the only thing to hand lined writing paper. There are some gorgeous images littering ever page, this book had me drooling over every page and sparking my imagination no end... This book is just wonderful!
I mostly recommend this to anyone who has read the manga or who is an artist or just loves artwork by the artist.

MANGA REVIEW: Ok... I have no idea what is going on in this manga... I know it has something to do with a dog but that's it ^_^.. This manga should be read from Right to Left and is numbered so, a little confusing when your reading Left to right. I also think it contains chara from YnM.

Yami no Matsuei - Character Book

Artist: Yoko Matsushita
ISBN: 4-592-73175-1

Attributes: Fly-leaf - Printed the Western way, Fly Leaf

REVIEW: I will say this... The Sketch Book is the better of the two on a black and white basis, but the better colour images are in this one, also the 8 pages of YnM merchandising is fun and a little strange for an art book... As the name said, it's a chara book, including some of the lesser known chara and more about Tsuzuki Asato Summoning Creatures. There is more explanation and I think Info in this book, I just cant read it... The Artwork is still stunning and nothing but about 5 small sketches are repeated from the first book... The second half of the book (after the colour merchandise inserts) is mostly dedicated to other Matsushita's works. I have to say not as good art work as the YnM images but endearing non the less.

MANGA REVIEW: Reads from Left to right, this is another strange little manga, it seems sweet in some way but I can not find translations for it >_<... I think it's about a girl who keeps bumping into a mysteries stranger, and keeps getting a little frustrated because she never seems to speck to him... If I'm wrong then that means you have read it... Could you Translate it for me and others?? ^_~
