An art book by Mutsumi Inomata, known for her character designs and key visuals for anime such as Future GPX Cyber Formula, as well as her beautiful illustrations.
An esteemed animator and illustrator, she passed away suddenly on March 10, 2024.
This collection focuses on Inomata’s original illustrations of cats and girls, which she poured her love into throughout her career. It also features newly included original works from relatively recent years, licensed artworks, and pieces she worked on until the very end. Additionally, it includes rough sketches and popular illustrations from previous art books—ones that fans would want to see again and again. This book traces the charm and personality of Mutsumi Inomata through her artwork.
◆ Features of This Book
The entire production team—including designers, editors, and printers—worked together with meticulous attention to faithfully reproducing the original colors of the artwork as closely as possible in print.
The cover is printed on a special pearlescent paper with a shimmering finish, complementing the atmosphere of the beautiful pink-haired girl adorned with ribbons, lace, and frills. The title is embossed in red foil, giving the book an elegant and luxurious feel.
Not only the cover but also the illustrations inside have been carefully color-adjusted by a printing director who compared them closely with the original artworks. Every effort was made to ensure a high-quality book that fans will truly appreciate.
