Arriving 11 years after his debut, it would be enough for this collection of artwork by video game and digital artist Murakami Suigun to simply contain a collection of pictures. This book goes a step further, adding in quotes from the artist himself and drawings that show the development from the line art to the finished illustration. A good pick for fans of moe-esque, slightly ecchi art.
