Nabari no Ou artbook – Liricamente

Taking another break from studying XD I guess I’ll review the Nabari no Ou artbook. Liricamente is a hardcover A4 sized artbook. The price for this one is 2381yen. The cost to get it in your hands varies depending on where you purchase it. I think the average amount is about $35. The cover features Miharu and the back Yoite on matte paper. I like the feel of it (kinda like cotton paper). The inside cover is orange with some leaves and butterflies. The book is divided into 3 movements and has about 50-55 color illustrations, a couple of black and white images, and some sketch art in the back for a total of 80 pages (with all the pages counted). The pages feel thin to me, but I like the texture. It’s different from the typical thick pages. What I don’t like is that you can leave pretty obvious finger prints on the dark pages as you’re thumbing through, or as I was flattening it to scan. As far as the illustrations included, they’re pretty, but I have to say I’m not too impressed… I guess part of it stems from the lack of illustrations included. Overall, I’d recommend it you’re a nabari fanatic.

    Thank you very much for these scans!!
    I love Nabari and I will buy this artbook. It’s really difficult for someone who doesn’t live in Japan, because there are only a few online shops that have it and it’s awfully expensive T___T
    Perhaps, if I go to Japan this year…
    Anyway, thank you very much for the pictures and the review.

    I started watching the anime of Nabari no Ou and I fell for it…hard! I ordered this artbook but I didn’t know what to expect! Thank you for your explanation. I can’t wait until I have it in my hands to flip through!
