Shirahane Nao – WHITE ALBUM +A Illustrations3 min read
Reading Time: 2 minutesIn case you missed it, DMYO is now known as Shirahane Nao. She had an illustration in Eshi 100 – Contemporary Japanese Illustration under her new name even though she isn’t Japanese, which she mentioned on her blog. WHITE ALBUM +A contains fan art from White Album, but isn’t limited to that.
WHITE ALBUM +A is a B5-sized, staple bound, 24 page book. It’s printed on heavy card stock with a smooth and glossy cover. The back cover includes an illustration that isn’t in the book, and the inside covers are used for Shirahane Nao’s greetings, so every page is occupied. Fan art works from White Album are featured on the first 8 pages of the collection along with the last two.
The rest of the book features fan art from HeartCatch PreCure!, MM!, and OreImo. Shirahane Nao’s versions of the MM! girls are possibly cuter than the originals and there are four pages of illustrations from OreImo. There is also one character illustration that originally ran in Dengeki G’s Magazine.
There’s one guest illustration by Korean artist Anmi, who has a style similar to CUTEG. WHITE ALBUM +A is a surprisingly nice collection for an interim release and it’s good to see more artists are taking the time to do high quality books outside of Comiket.
