Miyasu Risa & Hinayuki Usa – RB164 min read
Reading Time: 3 minutesMiyasu Risa and Hinayuki Usa joined together for their Comiket 78 release RB16. It features a collection of new color-themed girls. Miyau Risa’s solo collection, Azalea Floating, actually includes illustrations from RB16.
RB16 is B5-size in height and square-shaped. The covers are holographic with the cover featuring a decal-like illustration that you can accidentally scrape off. The cover and the first illustration in the book are have one character by Hinayuki Usa and the other by Miyasu Risa. Though their styles are quite different through out the book, it looks like they made an effort to mesh.
There are more illustrations than you might expect in this 46-page collection, with art works alternating between Hinayuki Usa and Miyasu Risa. Each artist has a spread at the beginning of the book and then the main content features full page illustrations with cute girls based on color themes. Presentation-wise, the illustrations are displayed on every other page.
Hinayuki Usa and Miyasu Risa are both great artists, but I’d say that Miyasu Risa has shown the most style growth in the last couple of years. It’s really noticeable when going through her art books. I wasn’t a fan of her older works, many of which you can find in her doujinshi art book Grande Desserts that I reviewed here more than a year ago. But since everything in RB16 is new, the illustrations are very consistent and polished.
RB16 ends with 4 pages of monochrome art along with 2-pages of messages from the artists. Overall it’s really an excellent doujinshi in both presentation and content and I would definitely recommend it.
