For those of you wondering, Kozue Amano's Forth Artbook "Birth" is currently available at various sites such as CD JAPAN or EBAY, which ship internationally.
Nat has written a very helpful review with beautiful preview pictures for those who are interested: HERE
As expected, the Artbook has a selection of pieces from Amano's other works such as Aria, Roman Club & Cresent Noise.
The Amanchu! illustrations make up 25 pages worth of the Artbook & are all in colour.
Plus, as the Amanchu! chapters are more infrequent now I think it's only appropriate to celebrate them properly & promote them better by mixing up the Chapter Updates a bit! Essentially I was thinking of having a mini, non-spoiler banner per chapter promotion and the regular links (see above). Then, behind an LJ cut, a chapter summary, followed by a simple review.
While I'd be able to do this myself I really want to open this project up to the community and ideally have one (or more if you want to work together) member(s) of the community do this because I hope it'll encourage community involvement, discussion and most importantly it's just more inclusive than predominately only having my perspective thrown out there - especially if there are members who are good at/like doing this sort of thing. ^_^
It's not an unreasonable commitment, chapters only come out once every three months! Not to mention, re-reading for summaries\reviews is a great way to see how the characters, relations & plot develop, giving you the opportunity to pick up on things you may not have noticed the first time round.
Anyone interested please either comment below or click on my profile to pm me. If you have any questions then just ask away! : )
It seems many Japanese stores have been offering special goods with the sale of Amanchu's third Volume. These include bookmarks, signed artworks and sketches!
