Typemoon Laboratory [ - Ver. Fate - ]

Reading Time: 3 minutes

During Comiket 76, Itoh Ben released his completed Typemoon Laboratory [ -Ver. Fate- ] doujinshi. I say completed because for Comiket 75, he released the Typemoon Laboratory [-Preview-] which is nearly entirely included in the finished one.

I really love Ben’s style, as he puts an inordinate amount of detail into the clothing and coloring of his characters. This book is A4 size, staple-bound, full-color and 32 pages long.

I’m not entirely sure who the girl on the front cover is. But the first spread is Saber, as seen above. The image also doubled as the cover for the [-Preview-] version.

There’s a gorgeous spread of the main characters from Fate/Stay Night next, including Rin, Archer, Saber, and Sakura. Next is an illustration of all the Servants, done in a style reminiscent of some Final Fantasy art work.

There’s also an adorable picture of the main characters from Lucky Star cosplaying as Saber, Rin, Rider, and Sakura. Also, during Comiket 75, Toranoana released Fate/Zero Tribute Arts. It’s an amazing collection by several artists all dedicated to the Fate/Zero story line. Itoh Ben drew the cover and that illustration is above.

Next up is a dark and light version of Sakura in two different costumes I’m not familiar with. But they are gorgeous.

This adorable bit has the cast of F/SN drawn in the style of Final Fantasy Tactics characters. Then on to more serious stuff with Saber drawn as King Arthur, with Gawain, Lancelot, and Merlin behind him.

Rin and Lily Saber are in a background image for a question and answer bit. After this point are guest illustrations, and all the guest artists are new to me. None of these illustrations really grab me either. The final page features Caster Illya, Tiger, and Rin at the beach.
