Touhou Project Artbook by NYA=FU Preview
This is a preview of one of the few Touhou art books that I have bought in my time in Japan. I would buy more of them if I knew what was inside each one. Some contain comics while others are full page art books like this one. This preview is to help those who travel to Japan (or who use third party services) to find a quality Touhou artbook.
This artbook is a collection of works of an artist known as NYA=FU. He or she is quite talented and makes the Touhou girls look as cute as possible.
This is the cover you will want to keep a look out for when you are in Japan if you would like to add NYA=FU's work to your collection.
I have a habit of scanning my favorite art books so that I can look through them while I am in Japan.
But at the same time, I think it is much nicer to have a printed collection that you can keep.
Every page of this art book is full color except one towards the end. This is what I love to see, being a non-Japanese reader. If only all Touhou art books were labeled in English "art book"
Cute Alice with her dolls.
At first I thought some of his/her characters looked a bit blocky but they are not too bad.
Most if not all of these images are posted on NYA=FU's website.

There are a few bonus ones as well on the website and links to retailers who sell the book. I do recommend buying hard copies of the book because the quality is better then online pics.
An extra stage boss I have not made it to yet. ^^;
Some of these pics have some really nice backgrounds for the characters.
Might make a nice desktop background.
Probably my favorite picture of the book.
I would probably think she is cooler when I can finally get to her in the extra stage. ^^;
Youmu is growing on me as a character. I saw some MADS which made her character especially adorable.
Yuyuko's oppai look kind of saggy to me in this pic. Might be just me.
Reimu in the shrinery.
I meant to scan more art books while I was in my house in the states but I ended up focusing more on figures and Dollfie Dreams.
An adorable couple. My second favorite pairing next to Marisa X Alice.
One of the later pages looks like it shows some sketches. I can't read what it says.
The last page shows NYA=FU's website. Pay it a visit to see more works and there are links to buy the art collection.
Quite a nice book and I only thought some of the images looked a bit off. Not a bad purchase at all for Touhou fans. Punynari score: 3.8 out of 5.0
Here is a bonus pic that someone requested I scan for them many moons ago. Finally did it. ^^;
It is of a clearfile that I bought long ago in the White Canvas Akihabara store.
Guess I'm a sucker for cute girls and yuri. ^^
