Ito Noizi – FASHIONISTA 20113 min read
Reading Time: 3 minutesIto Noizi’s COMIC1☆5 release revisits the fashionista theme with FASHIONISTA 2011. The collection is deceptively short but also features two illustrations by Kichiemo, whose appearances in Fujitsubo Machine have been less frequent as of late.
The set for this COMIC1☆5 release came with a bag and two A5-sized textured files. The illustration from the bag is repeated inside FASHIONISTA 2011 on the last page. One of the illustrations from the files came from the 2010 Fujitsubo Machine F’s Works Calendar. The other is familiar, but I really can’t place it so it might be new! The texturing doesn’t do much for the illustration presentation, but they feel super soft!
The doujinshi itself is 20 pages including the covers and B5-sized. The cover has really light holographic hearts pattern overlaid with a two color line art version of an illustration that is full color inside. In total, there are only 5 full page illustrations by Ito Noizi. Alongside each illustration are her comments about the art work with a close-up detail of the picture. Generally speaking, you can expect shorter works for these in-between Comiket convention releases. But they’re certainly receiving a lot more attention from artists than they used to.
Kicheimo has a couple of spread illustrations after Ito Noizi’s works. They’re interesting, but not fashionably stylish in the same way as Noizi’s works. FASHIONISTA 2011 sold briefly on Melonbooks as just the doujinshi, but now it’s only available on auctions. I like the art work, but there aren’t enough illustrations for me to make a purchase like this again. Besides, in another year they’ll probably all be in an art book!
