Yellow Avantgard – Kick-Ass 20102 min read
Reading Time: 2 minutesMikoto Akemi romanizes his name as Miko&Akemi in his Yellow Avantgard publication Kick-Ass, from Comiket 78. Dragon Magazine writes it as Mikoto Akemi and since it gives everyone a better idea on how to pronounce it, I’m going to stick with that. Kick-Ass is a full color illustration fan book collecting works from K-On!, Angel Beats!, Durarara!! and others.
Kick-Ass is B5-sized and 16 pages when counting the covers. It’s staple-bound, but well-made overall with high frequency printing and glossy pages. The cover illustration is repeated inside as a spread without any text.
Mio from K-On! gets the most love in this collection. Aside from the cover illustration where she’s part of the group, there are three individual illustrations of the character. You end up with her in K-On! the first and second season’s ending clothing, along with a school uniform version of Mio.
The only other series to garner multiple pages in Kick-Ass was Durarara!! The remaining fan arts were Vocaloid’s Megurine Luka, Tenshi and Yurippe from Angel Beats!, and the lead girl from the game Nier. Kick-Ass turned out to be a pretty nice release overall that I found slightly more enjoyable due to its focus on newer series and K-On!
