These images feature the series’ most memorable characters, from modern-day schoolboys to heavenly angels, mystical priests, vampires, and a variety of other creatures of the night who populate a rich fantasy world. Acclaimed artists including Sakurako Gokurakuin (author of Aquarian Juvenile Orion ), Kanan (author of the Galaxy Angel graphic novels), PEACH-PIT (creators of DearS ), and others bring their talents to one of Japan’s largest and most varied pop-culture franchises.

Native name: 極楽院 櫻子
Associated names: さくら あしか; 极乐院樱子; 極楽院さくらこ; 櫻 海驢; efini; MELT DOWN; SAKURA Ashika

Circle(s): efini
Part of the MELT DOWN circle with Reku Fuyunagi.

She writes most of her BL and shotacon manga under the pen name "Ashika Sakura", and writes tame BL and mainstream stories under Sakurako Gokurakuin.

She is most known as the original creator of "Sensitive Pornograph" and "Sekirei", which are now both anime. She seems to be authoring mostly male-oriented work than yaoi these days.

When she presents herself in the afterwords of her comics, she tends to be very shy, embarassed and modest when she writes them, which some fans find humorous because her manga can get very sexual and outrageous.

Gokurakuin is a huge fan of singer, Akina Nakamori.

Zodiac: Scorpio

Blood Type: AB

This artbook was never made in Japan - it is a Broccoli Books original. I think it's wonderful to have a unique item for the western market with these illustrations.

Really nice. I loved the artwork in the manga series so much, I thought it would be neat to have this. And it is.
This would be a great gift for someone who was a manga fan just for the artwork :)
