Miki Miyashita – Raisonne IV4 min read

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Miki Miyashita‘s Raisonne IV is a hard cover sequel to Raisonne III, with new illustrations and a larger B5-sized format. Raisonne IV really showcases how Miki Miyashita‘s style has grown, with better coloring and more proportional character designs. There’s a mix of fan art and original works in the art book as well, ranging from Vocaloid to Code Geass.

Raisonne IV is an impressive 128-pages, and all color. It’s more than you’d expect from a doujinshi, with a very professional hard cover. There are no page numbers or sections, it’s really just page after page of illustrations. Most of the works are full page..

The two page spread illustrations cut off in the center with the tight binding, so that’s not great. But the majority of illustrations get their own page.

There are eight pages of really well done Code Geass illustrations, but many include some degree of nudity. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann gets two pages, with Yoko and Nia. Also featured are characters from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Gundam 00, and Mahou Sensei Negima.

Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin from the Vocaloid franchise are featured on about 12 pages through out the art book. Raisonne IV is a really nice art book, and a big improvement from Raisonne III.
