Takehito Harada Art Works I6 min read
Reading Time: 3 minutesTakehito Harada Art Works I is full of illustrations from Disgaea, Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom and a few cross-overs. This book feels like a game collection more than an artist’s collection.
Takehito Harada Art Works I is A4-size and 208-pages. The cover art is new. It starts with Disgaea, which includes all the games and the anime, and runs through page 125. Illustrations from the first Disgaea game are on pages 2 through 23.
The section for Disgaea 2 goes from page 24 through 42, followed by Disgaea 3 from page 43 through 63. I’m not a fan of the presentation in Takehito Harada Art Works I. Part of each page shows the coloring and drawing process for the picture. This makes the illustrations B5-sized, even though they’re on A4 pages. The page opposite an illustration sometimes includes a coloring and drawing process.
The section for Disgaea Portable art work starts on page 64 and goes to page 73. Next up is a short section for the art of Disgaea Portable 2 on pages 74 through 85.
Art from Disgaea DS, Disgaea 4, Disgaea TV and Prinny 1&2 makes up the content for the next 40-pages. There’s a short look at some of Takehito Harada‘s other works, like Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom.
Nearly every illustration in the 25-page Phantom Brave section fits a B5-size art book. Makai Kingdom on the next few pages wasn’t much better.
Takehito Harada Art Works I and DISGAEArt!!! Disgaea Official Illustration Collection released just days apart, and I had hoped that would be enough reason for it not to be another Disgaea art book.
