Artbooks

Artbooks are sure one of the coolest merchandise articles. In those you can find colorful pictures to your favorite series, exclusive artworks, storyboards and even up to now unpublished concept arts and sketches of the evolutionary process of a manga or an anime. Often, they contain special bright luster pictures, which are printed in a very high quality.

Sometimes interviews of the Mangaka or some general descriptions are added, which allow you to get a view into the artistic work by showing the ideas of the makers and explain the implementation.

The most Artbooks have the A4 format (21,0cm x 29,7cm), but occasionally there are some obvious bigger editions.
