Utsura Uraraka 2 is a full-color illustration collection released by Eretto during Comiket 78. The title is also Eretto’s circle name, Utsura Uraraka. Though mostly fan art, the collection features original character designs for Eretto’s circle mascots.

Eretto’s Utsura Uraraka 2 starts out with three illustrations of his original characters, followed by a short comic. They’re really nice for mascots, and it looks like one of the girls is an aspiring artist! The drawing style is quite reminiscent of how he illustrates the To Aru Majutsu no Index characters. The book itself is 28 pages including the covers, B5-sized, and perfect bound. The pages are also quite thick and untextured.

Eretto definitely appears to be a fan of Last Order from To Aru Majutsu no Index as she’s appeared in several of his doujinshi. She’s pictured with Accelerator in all of the illustrations in this fan book.

There are also a few illustrations from shows like Pretty Cure, Amagami, Arakawa Under the Bridge and Working!! I know I’ve said it before, but Cure Sunshine fan art was everywhere this past Comiket. On the other hand, not a lot of fan art for the eclectic characters of Arakawa Under the Bridge.

The last few full page illustrations in Utsura Uraraka 2 are all Vocaloid characters; Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin and Len, and Hatsune Miku in a Project DIVA costume along with a background VN02 version.

Utsura Uraraka 2 ends with a few pages of Tsuruya-san comics, a collage illustration, and a credits page. It’s actually quite full for a doujinshi, and I’m a fan of Eretto’s soft coloring and clean anime-style art. Too bad I missed out on the first one!
