Honey and clover illustration book

Woke up at 9.30am = i slept for 10 hours. What a luxury XD
Did homework for the entire morning and went shopping with mum for foldable mattresses. She also brought me to kino wahaha. Somehow i feel more comfortable about buying anime and manga related stuff when she's around to approve of it. =l Anyway we went to the kino at bugis junction which is smaller in size so less variety of manga and illustrated collections. But i have noticed that the prices tend to be cheaper at the bugis junction kino than that at orchard. I've never been to the one at liang court branch X__X need to make a trip there to compare the prices haha

Yea so this was what i got with the voucher
Honey and clover illustration book! XD I remember begging mum to buy it for me last year, june. She refused but my aunty from malaysia who was with us then offered to buy it for me. I was greedy ehehehe and chose the bowboy bebop one instead. Yea.. spotted this book at the kino at orchard last saturday but chose not to get it yet. True enough, the one at bugis junciton was cheaper-- by $4 haha better than nothing right! (hopefully the kino at liang court doesnt sell it at a cheaper price)

Close up of the cover picture

Me: I've been thinking about you ever since june last year everytime i visit Kino
Me: See, i came to get you after all! Sorry that you had to wait for 1 year =D *muacks*
Book: ..... -__-lll

Takemoto, Yamada and morita. Chibis own.

One of my favourite pictures in the book. Takemoto on his journey of self-discovery. The background was so nicely drawn and i felt attracted to this picture. Almost all the pictures in the book seemed to be drawn using water colour, creating a pastal and gentle effect.

Last picture =D i was lazy to take more photos haha. On the whole, a good buy but sad to say, the book wasn't in tip top condition. Oh well it's alright, i take good care of all my books =)

I see that kino has had an influx of different Code Geass art books. Was tempted to get one (since the character designs are by CLAMP) but decided against it cos i'm still hopefull to find a cheaper version of Tokyo Babylon manga at kino. Spotted Togashi's art book but it was on Yu yu hakusho so i didn't get it either. Kino should try to take better care of their books.. i saw this X 'infinity' illustrated collection, containing the same pictures as the one i own, in a terrible condition; the cover was torn quite badly =( i dont think anyone will buy it anymore.
