Description

[out of stock]

A large booklet of ‘poster size’ ~A3 (approx 12″ x 18″) illustration work by indie mangaka darling panpanya, whose japanese debut collected doujin works made the annual ‘kono manga ga sugoi’ industry select list, even while under a limited distribution.

This “booklet” was produced for the Siryousei Expo 10th anniversary, and consists of seven (7!!!) luxuriously beautiful “pure” illustrations by panpanya, as well as separately the corresponding “informational poster” versions (with promotional text + design info). It also includes: an additional pencilled version of one of the poster illustrations (without text overlay), and a single page dedicated to collecting 5 poster illustrations of panpanya’s beloved “karp streamer” (koi nobori-kun). To be clear, due to the forethought in the booklet construction, it is possible to separate the pages and simultaneously display all 7 illustrations (or their promotional text-overlain counterparts) as separate posters, as they are each printed onto separate sheets.

Regarding panpanya, their reputation has spread internationally as well. Their debut english collection, Denpa’s “Invitation by a Crab”, was well-received and Panpanya’s art was also selected for exhibition in the 2019 British CITI Museum Manga exhibit. Recently, Denpa has announced they’ve licensed panpanya’s most recent collection, Guyabano Holiday, for english release.
