Price: 2800yen without tax

ISBN: 978-4-7577-5010-4

Without further ado, I present some of the gorgeous pages in this book~  Btw, if these seem brighter than the scans I submitted at animepaper, it’s because they are XD  These are raw scans straight from my scanner :D

Girls Girls Girls! 2 is a thick volume that collects lots of artworks from different artists.  The pages are thick :D  There’s a monochrome section in the back, taking about 1/4 of the volume or so.  The list price is 2667 yen without tax.

Here are the spread pages (12 at the front of the book) from the Girls Girls Girls! 2 book.  ISBN is on the back cover.

All the illustrations are textless <3 There are large sections on Darker than Black and Tsubasa/holic, which made me a happy fangirl. The magazine also had a ridiculous amount of Kyou Kara Maou material, like 1/3 of the illustrations!! I think I’m exaggerating a bit, but not too much. See below for some sample scans.

What about other series in it? Well, I’m too lazy and busy to scan them. So… buy a copy yourself =p
