This art book is absolutely stunning, and completely worth the buy for any manga fan. The pages are printed on very high-quality paper and they have a slight glossy finish. Each of the pictures gets either its own page or a double spread and is stunning in its detail. All were originally coloured by Katsura Hoshino (not anyone who works with her).
What is not mentioned in the description is that the book (with the current picture of the white-haired Allan) is actually a removable cover, and underneath is a whole host of sketches by the author! There is also an appendix at the back that explains each of the main pictures in the book and the thought process that went into creating them, and really adds to the background of the series. These were great surprises, and really made NOCHE worth while.
I was also very impressed with how quickly this shipped to New Zealand, for any Kiwi fans out there :)
Highly recommended.
Four and half stars.
