Satoshi Urushihara artbook thread Anonymous
Okay's /e/, I'm trying to buy the artbooks of Satoshi Urushihara, and the only ones I can find that aren't insanely priced are Sigma, Cell Works and Venus. What's the best place to buy the rest of them?

Also to makes this not a total request, we're having a thread to the patron god of /e/, Satoshi Urushihara.

I haven´t checked for stores in a while, you can get the Sigma and Phi artbooks easily on Animenation.

>>562975
That pic belongs to the "U:Collection" artbook, quite expensive and rare to find.

>>562982
I´m sorry, but the original printing was sold-out since years, you can get the bootlegged version here:

I wouldn´t endorse it, but otherwise there is no way to get it, only if you can find it at an auction (Ebay), you have to verify the book includes the fold-out poster.

Damn, some bastard is trying to sell their book off on ebay for 100 dollars, and I think it's a bootleg. He's got some balls.

BTW, did they edit out content in the English Plastic Little book? I don't remember this image in it

whichever one has this as the cover, I have it. Id like to sell it. It in a box, right now, and pretty good condition

It happens often, the truth is, nobody who has the REAL artbook will sell it, bootlegged boooks are easy to tell, until you see it, I´m afraid.

Indeed, the CPM printing removed a few pages from the original manga, it was released in Spain (Norma) intact, but paper and printing standards will make you cry.

If you are interested, the Sigma artbook can also be found here:

Thanks, I already have and am fortunate to have U Collection, Sigma, Cell Works, and Chi. I really wish I started to seriously collect the books earlier instead of a year ago.
>> Da Mister
>>563006
But as far as I remember, this image can be found inside one of these books ( U:Collection if I´m correct ).
>> Da Mister
>>563009
I understand you, the same happened to me when I knew about Ragnarok City, it was too late, so I took the bootleg version after 1 year and a half of pointless search, totally against my principles.
>> Da Mister
If you are interested the Front Innocent visual works vol.01 and Venus, you can avoid the bootlegged books, Carlsen Verlag released them as well, but translated to german, more info here:

it is inside, but there is a version with Teeta and all in bathing suits that was used for the cover. Its an original, I bought it at an anime convention in Cali a while ago. Its nice, but I don't have any real use for it any more.
>> Anonymous
Wait, so how can I tell if they are bootleg or not?
>> Anonymous
>>563010
Only one I saw this image in was Front Innocent Vol 1. Although it might be in the Plastic Little artbook. (I never saw the content of that one)

which book is this pic from?
>> Da Mister
>>563020
Please tell me the name of the book.

>>563022
It´s quite easy, first is the lack of blank pages before and after the actual content, printing quality is usually nowhere near original books, not as clear, even with messed up marks, page alignment is not perfect, too; paper smell is different than usual.
>> Anonymous
>>563028
Wahhh... My U: Collection might be a bootleg since there are no blank pages. And it smells a little different from the other books. Although the page and image quality seem very good.

I bought this book at Animenation, it includes several images seen on other books ( Venus, for example ), but it includes inedit material for this OVA, really a treat.

>>563027
This was one of those famous Tenma comics covers, I think, I´m not sure, because I never got it, could be a short story inside.

I remember now, that image from Plastic Little also appears inside Love (with and without swimsuit).
>> Da Mister
>>563034
How are the covers?, hardbound?, the wrap-around cover can be removed?, compare printing with your remaining books, does your book come with a low band at the front of the cover including sample pages?, it must also include the page marker on the back, close to the ISBN code.
>> Anonymous
>>563035
Possible to still get Tenma, or is it a magazine?
>> Anonymous
Da Mister, is this one a legit copy, or bootleg since they don't mention the foldout poster

Yeah, you can get it with no problem, the main problem is you need to check stores frecuently, because they usually carry a limited amount, and it´s not that often, as you can imagine, it sells out fast.
>> Anonymous
>>563035
it can't be Tenma, I got scans of all of them and it's not in any issues

>>563037
Comic Tenma is a monthly H-magazine that Urushihara regularly does cover art for, sometimes colored inside art, and occasionally a short b/w H-manga.
>> Da Mister
>>563038
I´m checking, please one moment.
>> Da Mister
>>563040
Surprised?, it IS Tenma, a short U-story by him, I´m holding the mag right now.
>> Anonymous
     File :-(, x)
its Cell Works. you said you had this one, right?
>> Da Mister
>>563038
Hmm..., this could be a hoax, I find interesting this guy indeed doesn´t mention the poster ( single-sided ), and to meet the requirements of Ebay, image at heigh of breasts is censored, but the bootlegged book has an imperfection exactly there on the cover, no way to demonstrate about this item.
>> Da Mister
>>563043
Correct, this is one of my first H-Artbooks, I´m pretty sure you keep it intact.
>> Anonymous
>>563042
please, which volume?
we're talking about>>563027right?
>> Da Mister
>>563048
Uh, no, I though you asked me about>>563035, sorry; Miku was presented once, or so I think; no idea about the actual issue. I´ll try to search to answer your question.
>> Anonymous
>>563051
I should've been clearer then, sorry for the confusion. It surprises me that no-one seems to know where that Miku pic is from, and that no decent scans have appeared. If you do find anything you'll be my hero!
>> Da Mister
>>563080
I´m sorry too, I wasn´t clear about it, thanks; I´ll continue the search.
>> Da Mister
I discovered something intriguing, Genshiken 2nd season has just aired, and Urushihara did animations for the whole opening sequence, if you like to confirm it, the link here:

I forgot to tell you, U:Collection was published by Kodansha, not Gakken Mook, that´s why you found a different smell, but it´s not necessary anymore, I guess.

Okay, I'm dandy then since all my copies are legitiment ^^

I sent the ebay guy a question if it does has a poster, if I get a response that it doesn't, I'm going to report him for false advertisement. Or perhaps I could order it, and then charge him that he gave me a bootleg and get my money back and somehow keep it. Not likely, but I might as well scheme... ;p
>> Da Mister
>>563148
Take on him if such is the case; I can´t remember the details about it, how big it is, or the image it shows, don´t let yourself be cheated.

About the price..., when available as legitimate , prices were just as high as $50-60, later around $80-90; years later the rest took the bootleg ( or nothing ), still great nonetheless, careful.

I know this isn't /r/ .. but does a better quality scan of this picture exist ?

Wow I should have picked up a second copy of cel works. I seen it in Book Off while I was in tokyo last month for 1000Y ... heck anywhere yoiu should be able to get it for around 2000, it was one of the longest in print ecchi artbooks ever (something like EVELEN printings..)
Goddamn import prices gouging.

The R city selling for 100 dollars is a legit version, or did the bookleggers put in posters too?
>> Da Mister
>>564678
That´s the pic, but coming from Ebay will never give you warranties; otherwise, just ignore me and go for it.

Seems like the price can´t be found within your concerns, I only wish to be granted such a chance, good luck and show us the results, ok?

As far as I know, there no bootlegged books including the poster, but who knows.

So I can´t remember then, I lost an old scan of the book where that image used to be in, I´ll ask for info, then.
