futuregraph #184

Ah, another lovely futuregraph.
Something about a girl looking up at you from below just looks...Really nice.

Very nice as usual, although weirdly enough I tend to be even more interested in just reading Range's comments. :)

YAARGHHH! THOSE EYES, MY SOUL IS BURNING!

wish i could save this image as a wallpaper

What I'm really hoping Fakku can do (in order of importance to me):

- Release a complete and in order Futuregraph compilation including translated notes. I adore Range Murata's art books, particularly how he makes them fun with pull-outs, sub books, foiled and clear paper, etc.... but Futuregraphs are scattered and random. A nice single chronological source will not only give a nice single place for the art, but enjoy his slice of life stories through the years.

- Range Murata had a multi-artist comic series, "Robot: Super Color Comic". However domestic publishers tripped over the licensing and only half of it was published. Considering that Fakku has a much better relationship with Wanimagazine, would love to see Fakku pick up the series or even completely republish the initial books along with the missing ones (as I trust their translators more).

- Look to localize Range Murata's other art books, especially in their Limited Edition formats. "Futurerhythm" and "Formcode" were both beautiful and really fun art books. Prismtone is one of the most complete collection of his older works. Though I do admit that looking to escape markups for old books on eBay is a bigger motivator here than needing English...

Bought a Range artbook recently and loved it. Still waiting for the Range fakku artbook though...
