Earlier today, I was sad. And then I arrived home to find that my dear friend Ran had sent me something wonderously special - Yamane Ayano's artbook - all hundred odd pages scanned! THANK YOU TO WHOEVER TOOK THE TIME TO DO THIS! *praises* I would sell myself for this artbook. I am not joking, either. ^^;;; Waaaaaaah. I feel the compulsive need to share the prettiness, so I am going to put up my favorite pages here. XD
Just so you know before you click on anything, Yamane Ayano is my favorite mangaka (manga creator) and she is a yaoi mangaka. So, if you use your brains, you will comprehend that under these LJ cuts, there will be men posing with other men. However suggestive you think it is... Well, hah ^^;; Needless to say, if this disturbs you in any way, you might not want to click. Then again, if it disturbs you, you probably aren't my friend :P
Also, since there are like 90 this might take a long time to load. I swear it's worth it!
First, from my favorite yaoi manga, like, ever - Asami and Takaba from Viewfinder.
Asami is such a pimp. There are about 10 pictures of them in this artbook, and this is the least pervy one I could find. Um, yeah. Asami is part of the Yakuza and Takaba is a photographer who gets caught up in Asami's game and becomes ...
ASAMI'S JEWELLED WHORE!
...
Joking! But, I really recommend this manga. It's very very very... well... yeah, you can guess.
Next! The couple from my favorite oneshot, like, ever - Rei and Akira from Risky Society. Akira is really flaming gay ^^;;
Um, can you guess which one's Akira? I recommend this too! It's about psychic cops. And it's a fast read!
Yamane Ayano has this skill in which no matter what type of guy she draws, he looks nice. Take, for example, highschoolers. Every mangaka has to draw highschoolers ^^;;
There's really no reason for his pants to be unbuttoned. At all. *laughs*
Or, say, hot college students.
I... er... moving on.
She also draws hot businessmen!
I wonder why he looks so sad? Maybe because he's about to become his co-worker's bitch?
And hot thieves!
And hot samurais!
Nice horse. (HAHAHA *dies*)
And hot swordsman!
Love that outfit >.> And such a large sword...
And hot gang members!
I wonder why that bullet is in his mouth? *innocent blink blink*
And hot detectives to hunt the hot gang members!
And hot...erm... rugby players? (I'm running out of stuff here, bear with me ~_~)
I make no comment on that. I have no idea why their shorts are so small either...
Oh, yeah, she likes sports... like archery!
Whoa. Um, PG-13 here, yes. Um.. eheh. XD
But what if someone only wants a man with purple hair? Great! You're covered!
Haha, I'm so lame. Last one is juuuuuust for Hannah ^^;;;
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! RON! I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!
Dude, that's a lot of pics. I hope you enjoyed the prettiness, and the art book is filled with even more pretties! It made me feel better. :D Cheers!
