About five minutes walk from Otsuka station of Toden Arakawa, the only tram in existence in Tokyo. Row of cherry blossoms trees along the street in front of our office is full bloom in spring, which is delight to the eyes.

Illustration works drawn by the popular animator Yukiko Horiguchi under the name of Shiromizakana are now featured in the illustrator’s debut commercial publication!

This book is a self-selected debut collection of art works featuring an ensemble of diaphanously pretty girls. The splendid hardcover edition, which was only available at event venues before, is now available for general release. It is a one-of-a-kind book in which the works were selected and arranged by the artist because they are “works that were drawn with analog art materials.”
Featuring approximately 210 works of book cover illustrations, collaborations, and original works, this expanded edition also offers around 10 new analog art works. This book also includes works that have been revised or specially created for this edition.
This collection by Shiromizakana, who has been involved with many famous works as an animator, presents works that show the artist’s distinctive sense of light in illustrations. It is a must-see for anyone who loves Japanese anime-style illustrations!
※Shiromizakana is the pen name used by the animator Yukiko Horiguchi (“LUCKY☆STAR"", ""K-ON!"", ""Tamako Market”, “22/7”, the movie “HELLO WORLD”, and the light novel “Demons” Crest”) for her illustration works.

Spirit Return

Asia/Oceania Release: Aug 23, 2024
Worldwide Release: Jun 3, 2025

The second volume in the Illustrative Storytelling Series, where illustration and story combine to create an immersive worldview, is a work of Japanese horror from tsukku!

This work, the second title in the Illustrative Storytelling Series, is from the illustrator tsukku, who is known for a Japanese-style worldview that somehow evokes a sense of nostalgia through depictions of “the ordinary and the mysterious” that combine youth and tales of supernatural deeds.
Set in the fictional rural village of Kitsunegatsuka, this is the story of Yohei, a high school student and apprentice Shinto priest who encounters non-human beings.
The title “Spirit Return” refers to the ritual of returning (in the sense of “sending back to their rightful place” and “purifying”) gods (that is, mysterious beings) who are wandering with nowhere to go to their own realm.
The PIE COMICS web series, which tells the story of the mysterious and strange daily life of Yohei and his friends in Kitsunegatsuka through illustrations and brief passages, is now available in a single book. We hope you enjoy this quality book, which features many newly drawn illustrations along with the original serialized work.

Size: 235 × 162 mm / 9.3 × 6.4 in.

Worldwide Release: Jun 3, 2025

An illustration collection that compresses the worlds you admire and depicts them as miniature worlds!

Fantasy worlds unfold all around within small spaces like gardens. This is a collection that introduces 26 illustrators from Japan and overseas and the illustrations they draw that are brimming with originality.

This book is not only enjoyable to look through, it also serves as a reference for those wanting to expand their ideas, for those wanting to make their images more profound, and for those looking for ways to stage story ideas.
A neo retro world, a world of sweets and foods, a world that looks like science fiction...we hope you will fully enjoy the worlds created by various artists.
