Many would disagree that kawaii and lewdable are far better than thick and lewdable. However, famed doujin artist Kantoku agrees with that statement. A quick browse through the artist’s works reveals a love for kawaii and moe waifus. And that love is present in the latest Kantoku 5th Browsing art book. And we’re here to give you a peek and tempt you into buying it! At $16.50, it’s an affordable collection piece or Valentine’s Day gift.
What’s Inside Kantoku’s 5th Browsing
With 60 pages, this art book treats us to everything from original Kantoku characters to fully colored fan art of much-loved waifus and franchises. And that combination is worth gushing over. Why? Everyone sees the same thing/person differently. The Megumin drawn by Kurone Mishima and the one drawn by Kantoku are of the same girl. And yet there are differences because the attributes one holds closest are most noticeable to them in others. And as Kantoku is well known for moe-ish artwork, his Megumin embodies the explosive loli’s smug and impish side. You don’t need to know Megumin to immediately pick up her personality in his work.
The Kantoku 5th Browsing art book features fan art of franchises like Frieren, Oshi no Ko, Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, and Kuma Miko (to name a few). So, you’ll also see plenty of other familiar, loved characters in a new style. Some of the other franchises included in this art book are:
- KonoSuba
- Jobless Reincarnation
- Spy x Family (ALWAYS PRONOUNCE THE X)
- The Apothecary Diaries
- Bocchi the Rock
- Ghost in the Shell
- Fate
- Himouto! Umaru-chan
- Girls Und Panzer
- The Saga of Tanya the Evil

THERE’S ECCHINESS!
A Kantoku art book would be incomplete without stellar ecchi fan art. After all, a life without lewdness is a life bereft of its most important quality. So, rest assured, there’s plenty of titillating content in the pages of 5th Browsing. Some would lament that there’s nothing outright pornographic, but I’d argue that’s its selling point. This type of art book only slightly worries you when clearing customs. Trust me, the specific dread, the one that washes over you after realizing the tentacle doujin in your luggage might be an issue, shaves a few years off your life.
Kantoku’s 5th Browsing’s ecchiness is akin to playful teasing between lovers. And self-inserts are something Kantoku is well known for. If you’re looking for big, busty girls, Yor and Tohru are here, but this might not be for you. However, if you’re an enlightened soul who knows that medium is premium, this art book is your new bible.
