Such a beautiful art book! I’ve been following Yummei’s work online for years and this book is an accumulation of all of that hard work and emotion.

I have been a longtime fan of Yuumei's art, and this collection of her work from the past decade covers many of her best works, as well as others that were not previously released.

Worth every penny worth every moment I spend with it. I love having this in my collection and flip through it often

I love, love Yuumei's art. Her art is beautiful, colourful, honest, as this book is - straight to the point, pages of illustrations and few words.
I didn't add one more star because of the few words. I had actually hoped for more text and insight into her pieces, not necessarily tutorials or anything technical, but some more info about the artwork and the artist behind it.
Still, I understand why the author chose minimalism over text, staying true to the art book format. In the end, this is a collection of illustrations that speak for themselves.
