One of our favorite categories of product are the gorgeous artbooks in Japan, which are printed on high gloss paper that looks great. Recently popular artbooks collections like the 100 Masters of Bishojo Painting or the Pixiv Girls Collection 2010 have been popular, highlighting the works of many artists. Also, new artbooks by Tony Taka and Shirow Masamune have been very popular with our customers. Personally, I’d recommend that every active anime fan consider a subscription to Megami Magazine and Nyan Type — the free art and posters they jam into each issue is just amazing to behold each month, and the few overflow issues we get in sell out rapidly. Finally, we love the Queen’s Blade line of slightly ero artbooks like the just-released Kasumi, and recommend them all very highly.
