Ashiato ~Kantoku Art Works~ (あしあと~カントクアートワークス~)
Ashiato ~Kantoku Art Works~ (あしあと~カントクアートワークス~) turns out to be as colorful and vibrant as expected, filled with 144-pages of beautiful girls ranging from original creations to copyright characters. The book is B5 sized, so it's smaller than most art books, but about the size of the average doujinshi. Definitely a must for any Kantoku fan!

The cover illustration is new for the art book, and the same illustration reappears towards the back of the book as a two-page spread without the title text. In total there are six new illustrations drawn exclusively for Ashiato.

Here's another one of the new illustrations, toast!

And this is another. Still with Kantoku's mascot Kurumi.

There is no index, or table of contents but the images do have notes next to them to indicate where they were originally published. They're not in chronological order either, so you get a mix of newer art work next to older ones, so there are some style changes from page to page.

Kantoku has also done a fair amount of merchandise art work for some of the popular anime and doujinshi stores in Tokyo like Toranoana, Melonbooks, and K-Books. I'd actually seen most of the illustrations in other books I'd purchased, but it's always nice to have a collection in one place.

They say that if a japanese girl who likes you invites you for a lunch or snack then presents you only 1 tea cup means you are having a love ceremony if I can remember perfectly. ^U^
Usually I don't have much for artbooks but this one actually interests me! ^ ^
