E☆2 Original Sailor Fuku to Chome Chome3 min read
Reading Time: 2 minutesE☆2’s Comiket 79 original illustration collection once again featured a variety of well-known artists drawing the classic school uniform, the sailor fuku. In E☆2 Original Sailor Fuku to Chome Chome some artists experiment more than others to create a very memorable collection of works.
E☆2 Original Sailor Fuku to Chome Chome is A4-sized, staple-bound and 28 pages when counting the covers. The book dives right into the art, providing a single page index that includes each artists’ name, illustration title, and a comment on the art work.
The illustrations above from left to right are by KEI, Youta, Nacht, and Iwa. The selection of artists does feature mostly ones who have drawn for E☆2 Magazine, but even still all of the illustrations are new, which is pretty impressive for any collection. KEI’s girl is quite subdued compared to Youta’s valkyrie-esque school girl above.
Nabeshima Tetsuhiro illustrated the sword wielding, gun-toting, glasses-wearing nekomimi school girl above. I love how seamlessly all those anime tropes seem to just fit together. Also pictured above are illustrations by Nanakusa, and Ryuuga Syo.
In total, there are 23 artists showcased and each has a new illustration. I always enjoy E☆2 because of both the variety and the quality of the art work. And it certainly helps that their themes are always creative.
