Such a beautiful art and book for a truly wonderful series.

I really, really hope that more authors of longer series get a chance to put out art books like this — art books that are collections of art and short comics they drew for limited events over the years. It’s such a nice gift to fans of the series, especially to those who were not able to access those limited comics and art due to not living in the country lol

Me encanta este artbook. Las ilustraciones de la autora son tan bonitas y los colores son muy alegres. Las escenas te dejan con el corazón calentito, sin necesidad de diálogos. Su dibujo y sus personajes transmiten muchísimo. En especial, aquellos donde aparecen Sasaki y Miyano. Ultra recomendado si eres fiel seguidor de la serie.

Aside from the fact that I love Harusono's art style, this is one of the best art books I've ever read. It's not just the art, there are notes from the author, sketches, a glimpse into the whole process, interviews, and so much to read that gives you a better understanding of the mind that created two of the most adorable series out there.

Normally I wouldn’t log an art collection but this one was so good holy shit. It’s so detailed and she has so much commentary and references for EVERY piece. I’m talking commentary on every cover, rough draft, social media post, and bonus illustrations. A great collection for fans and I loved loved loved the full page color spreads and interview at the end. A must have for Sasaki & Miyano fans

It is like eye candy because it's the art from the series with some panel explanations and notes. Otherwise, simply a visual feast that delights. It was a good way to start the morning with beautiful art.
