Outstanding book, illustrations are amazing. I do not read Japanese, however, pictures are a universal language. I use it as a reference book in creating my own ideas

If you’re looking for a generous and vast layout of incredibly creative, diverse, inspiring, goofy, and fun character designs to reference for your projects, THIS is the book for you. The style is like a blend of How to Train Your Dragon, Cartoon Network toons, and chibi but with a Monster Hunter/DnD/Dark Souls theme. You can tell the artist Satoshi Matsuura has a lust to create and find a unique shape language/silhouette in every design created. No need to read Japanese either, the figures are read clearly without the text.
Shipping was surprisingly fast (within 5 days in the U.S.), customer service is excellent and attentive, and my experience from this shop is 6/5 stars.
