Artbook Review: Mutsumi Sasaki Art Works 1998-2005

Ironically, I already did a post on Mutsumi Sasaki’s second artbook; this here is his first book, a self-explanatory collection of his work from 1998-2005. In terms of style, it goes without saying that you can expect the same kind of content that was in Est – which is to say, a skillful combination of moe and bishoujo. His first book is a hardcover, which is nice, but it has appallingly few pages considering the hardcover format, and some of the content overlaps. Is it still worth it? That’s a fair enough question, but first let’s take a look through the scans.

Artbook Review: Mutsumi Sasaki Art Works Est

mutsumi-sasaki-est-17

Mutsumi Sasaki is another one of those popular eroge artists that you’ve probably noticed at one point or another. He’s been in the industry for quite some time, designing characters for the Memories Off franchise (the anime adaptations were mediocre, but that’s another story), and, more recently, titles like Chaos;Head and Myself;Yourself. Putting the inappropriate use of semicolons aside, neither of the aforementioned shows struck me as anything spectacular, but one of my favourite aspects of them was the character designs. Why? The answer should be obvious. I love Mutsumi Sasaki, and while he might not be my absolute favourite artist, his work always holds some sort of mysterious control over me. Est is his most recent professional artbook, and suffice to say, I wasn’t disappointed.
