This is one of my favourite artbooks. Not only does it fully devote itself to artworks of a series I've enjoyed for a long time - Pita Ten - but it's also exactly what I expect of an artbook; full sized illustrations which make up almost every page of this book. I've always enjoyed Koge-Donbo's art, it's very much on the cute side and might not appeal to everyone, but it's also a distinct style that is easily recognised.

Lovely artbook by Koge Donbo published by Tokyopop, her art style is so unique and attractive, I am a big fan of her art. Crisp, clean outlines, bright colours, her artworks focus mainly on the characters and less so on the backgrounds. And the outfits she drew for the characters are always so pretty.

Pita Ten is a super cute manga, and this is a super cute art book! Some of the poses feel a bit anatomically off- do knees bend that much, ect, also there is a noticeable lack of backgrounds.
Over all, if you like the series or Koge-Donobo, check it out!

When I was learning how to ART this book was so magical to me. The colors, the sparkles, all of it. A true childish flare for the fantastic.
