Sora Kake Girl - Girl's Collection

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The best thing about Sora Kake Girl Girl’s Collection is that it includes 13 brand new illustrations from Sora Kake Girl. This has been happening more recently with books. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Nia and Yoko Portraits, Zero no Tsukaima Louise Portraits, and Kannagi Nagi Portraits to name a few. But those all focused on one character. This one gets a new picture of each of the main characters from Sora Kake Girl.

Each of the girls get a month. We start out with Akiha drifting through space as Miss January and Itsuki in ribbons as Miss February.

Honoka gets March and Imoko (in her robot) is April, laying across a “classic” motorcycle. Mutsumi, Itsuki’s other identity gets May, dressed in a bunny suit.

Kazane is a June bride with Sakura as a maid of honor. Kagura is doing some cleaning up and Nami gets to be an idol.

Takane practices her secret arts in the water. This and the Nami one above are my favorites.

The last ones all feature two girls. Here are Tsutsuji and Byakuya for October, Bougainvillea and Mintao for November, and Nina and Elle for December.

The next part of Sora Kake Girl Girl’s Collection includes character profiles, with screen shots and a profile image of each girl. It includes stuff like their full names, birthday, blood type, height, weight, and a pretend interview. I don’t think I’m a big enough fan for that.

The last part of the book is called the Pinup Gallery and features images that appeared in Newtype, Megami, Animage, Dengeki G’s, Charamel and Animedia. If you buy magazines, you’ll have seen most of them before.

Although the book is only 80 pages, it has more new content than most art books. That makes it worth the 2400 yen to me.
