Part 1
I recently picked up artist Namaniku ATK’s Hitsugi no Chaika art collection (he designed the characters for the original book series), and I was delighted to find that not only did it have all the novel illustrations, but also a load of character designs and sketches from the preproduction phase. This is part one of two.
After that, I’ll be throwing up some full color illustrations from various magazines that had Chaika features and the like.
The actual book is only 2,500 yen, and if you’re a fan of the artist or the series, it’s absolutely worth picking up.
