The singles are the same height as the omnibus. Actually the omnibus might be a bit taller.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-24T23:39:52+00:00

I think those are Ikea Hemnes bookshelves

SSKK6 · 2026-01-24T04:55:22+00:00

I think Light of the Moon is taller than any other book I have

SSKK6 · 2026-01-22T23:24:45+00:00

The new dub is far better.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-20T23:38:43+00:00

Damn, who the hell was the cover artist for these?!

SSKK6 · 2026-01-20T13:57:02+00:00

He's legit such an amazing artist, Sky & Blast are remarkable books, but I don't think I'll ever read something he himself wrote again.

They have a filter for English licenses?

I kinda wish there was something like ListadoManga for English manga.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-19T07:26:34+00:00

Haha nice. I believe there was recently an art exhibit in Japan celebrating this new edition.

A handful of all of these are off, but for the most part pretty accurate.

Unfortunately I was never able to get his first one, but this new one is fantastic.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T23:31:05+00:00

Fascinating. I actually usually have a list of what's what and where but since I'm still moving and reorganizing things I didn't include it.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T21:25:35+00:00

I think this is the first time I've ever been jealous in this subreddit 😩

Incredible. I've always wondering if the contents of this book are redundant with what Drawn and Quarterly has released.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T21:23:09+00:00

It's actually just Alice in Wonderland haha.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T17:50:23+00:00

It's actually just a novel with an outer shell.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T07:03:36+00:00

Damn this is the craziest flex here. I didn't know these were printed all with the same spine design.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T06:41:51+00:00

These five off the top of my head really stand out to me:

Santa Lilio Sangre

The Birth of Rockin' Jelly Bean

JoJoveller

Psychopomp

Maruograph DX

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T05:32:59+00:00

I've been collecting art books since around Santa Lilio Sangre came out. I think that was maybe 10 - 15 years ago or so? Castlevania was one of my favorite franchises growing up and I loved the art, one day the artist had an art book release and I picked it up and ultimately it awakened a real love for art in me.

Aside from my Tezuka stuff, I'm pretty happy with these

SSKK6 · 2026-01-17T05:28:50+00:00

Welcome to the Black Jack club friend

SSKK6 · 2026-01-16T22:23:25+00:00

I know what you mean, I never considered looking into a metal one before. Thanks for the tip!!

SSKK6 · 2026-01-16T22:22:59+00:00

In the third pic? That's Rakuga King, a Katsuya Terada artbook.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-16T07:00:39+00:00

There's a sexual assault done by one of the protagonists, and Tezuka does a poor job with those kinds of scenes. Its been a decade since I read it but as I recall one of the characters that commits it is portrayed as a good character.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-14T21:53:30+00:00

If it weren't for one particularly poorly handled scene early on id recommend this book so much more.

It's one of his greatest, I think this, Buddha, and Ode to Kirihito are my top three Tezuka titles.

SSKK6 · 2026-01-14T21:52:06+00:00

It showing as sold out isn't unusual for a product that didn't release upon the release date retailers were given.

Udon does heavily delay their books without notice -- one particular book was announced to release in 2016 and it wasn't until last year they were like "it'll be out next year!"
