Sexy, Scary, Sweet
The design of this book alone is impressive, from the spongy plastic pink cover embossed with a Mizuno illustration, to the layout of each page and presentation of Mizuno's work. Its a cross between a comic book and art book. When you thumb through Mizuno's work you begin to understand what a prolific artist she is and that she has a message to communicate. Her illustrations of the female figure combine many elements, a cute anime look, yet a transgressive maniacal twist in some scenes (blood rain, butcher knives), tender at times, vicious at others. Mizuno communicates the many aspects to female sexuality in a way that elicits a reaction in the viewer--confusion, laughter, fear, disgust, awe. Definitely a unique point of view and a unique book. I'm happy to own a copy.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!
I LOVE Junko Mizuno, and this book is EXACTLY what I was looking for! It's ALL pictures! Every page is a colorful full page picture! There is a wide range of topics, (very adult, boobies),cute, scary, colorful, detailed, and gore. What more could you ask for? Buy it now, you won't regret it!

Dynamite artbook from an exceptional artist
If you love Junko Mizuno's comics and artwork, then this book is definitely your next step! It shows a very broad range of her work divided up by range of years; one very cool section is made up of bios of the characters in her illustrations. It comes in a funky, glittery pink plastic slipcover and there's even a little paper doll in the back! Forty bucks is a great price for such a high-quality artbook. Junko Mizuno fans are sure to love it; I would even recommend this to people who simply love collecting the work of amazing artists.
