Ikki Tousen:Book of Big Breasts
I know what youre thinking…They cant be serious calling this artbook the book of big breasts!Yes,they are! Enter my quick review of SoftBanks Ikki Tousen Artbook!
Its no secret that Im a big fan of girls that can open a can of whoopass and bakunyuu anime/manga Ikki Tousen knows how to deliver those to an ecchi guy like me.I stumbled across the artbook about half a year ago on HLJ and it was immediately sold out.They finally had a restock this month and the book arrived on my doorstep together with Saber Lily ^^
The Term Artbook itself is actually a bit misleading since the book contains not so many illustrations but more background Infos on the characters,seiyuus and whatnot.It should be mentioned that theres a quite a difference in the Designs of Yuji Shiozakis Girls in the Manga the Anime and that the book features the anime design.
The Artworks and Characterfiles themselves focus around the Ikki Tousen games for the PSP and Ps2.Its kinda a shame since youll often get the feeling that an Artist drew his rendition of Yuji Shiozakis girls.Wich is very unfortunate in one particular picture where Kanu and her sidekick have biiiig mamilla.Its nevertheless the only Ikki Tousen Artbook I know of and it came with a CD (containing the soundtrack of the games),a double sided poster( the magazine cover and another artwork) and some kinda foil artwork(wich shows the girls with and without torn clothes).
Overall Im a bit letdown that the book doesnt feature as much artwork as I hoped but the package is quite good for its price.I doubt that anyone that isnt interested in Ikki Tousen will get much joy from this tough.
This Side of the Poster is kinda disturbing.Ive seen it in the Megami Magazine before though
The Covers of the games
Fun at the Beach
Chikans Galore
Characterfiles of the girls
And Characterfiles of the guys,if theyre more youre kind
The Foil Artwork
Isnt it kinda weird that Original Characters from Fillers/Games etc. always look incredibly cheap in design compared to the canon stuff?They should put a bit more effort into those characterdesigns
Drafts of the Original Characters
Theres this really long part that stretches across many pages about the CD where the characters seem to talk about something I cant read ^^;
I think Kanu is supposed to be some tourguide in this one
Of course theres a boob ranking aswell!
Covers of the Games,Anime and Manga
I believe this is an interview with the seiyuus of Ikki Tousen
Thats it for today but dont fear! Tomorrows my last day on the job! ill be a NEET from Thursday on and that means lots and lots f free time for blogging ^^

That illustration book looks nice, I should consider getting it sometime. I have a question, why does everyone molests poor Ryomou?

That is the greatest name for a book ever. In fact, this is what the Bible should have been called.

That’s an awesome artbook, especially the poster with the happy old man. Did Roshuku and Bashoku get any pictures?

Looks like a decent Ikki Tousen book with some nice ecchi art. ^^
Though Otakudan alas asks the wrong question. It’s not “Why does everyone molest poor Ryomou?” but rather “Why is only Ryomou being molested and not Kanu too?” XD

lol 爆乳之書 – the book of exploding breasts (literally), which makes sense as they are so big that they rip the shirts apart.
The tours seem to be about China Town and one for 關帝廟 – the Chinese temple for Guan Yu, the famous warload whom which Kanu is based on.

The poster is very nice. I do not like Ikki, but the artbook looks correct although it does not contain as many illustrations as you expected.

I am extremely amused by the sub-title of the book. I thought that came from you, the reviewer
What I really wonder with shows like Ikkitousen is: Where are all the girls going for those girls?

A very fitting name for the book; might as well rename the series Ikki Boobsen.
Boobs sell. I bet having those words on its cover helps is sell even more.

@OtakuDan
Thats what I wonder too.I guess its to show her vulnerable girly side?
@Snark
Yeah, Id instantly turn into a believer
@C.R.
Id recommend reading the Manga.Beats the Anime.
I sadly cant tell anything about the games due to the lack of a PSP or PS2 ^^;
@Tier
Nope,besides the girls you see there,theres only Choun Shiryuu thats gotten an illustration with Kanu.I wish thered be more pictures of the other girls aswell
@phossil
Yup,for all your fap…err ikki tousen needs
@Mikiwank
I sadly dont have a scanner over here.Otherwise id share the love with ya
@hikky
Haha well Ryomou is one of the smaller chested ones in the book
@Smithy
ECCHI!HENTAI!
@Q
So thats how Bakunyuu is spelled in Japanese?
DIdnt know that youre that well versed in Japanese,especially ecchi japanes ewords
BUSTED!
Thanks for the help !
@lyli
Ive already got a sister in arms in you for liking QB so everythings fine
@Guy
Haha yeah I guess thats what everybody thinks ^^
You mean the Real Life Girls?
Over here theres actually a quite big female fanbase of the Ikki Tousen Girls.Ryofou and Kanu seem to be especially popular with them
@Tommy
Mmmmmmmhhhh Boobs…
Well you get what you expect ^^
@Wolfheinrich
The Manga or the Anime?
Posted on October 26th, 2009 at 04:24
Sorry, I meant, where are all the boys. In the show, where are all the males clamoring for these hot girls?
I thought boys, I wrote girls..

@Guy
Maybe that was a freudian slip?:P
There are actually quite a few guys in Ikki Tousen.Its not likt the Universe is completley populated by girls.I made a picture of the two pages that deal with the main ones aswell.Take a closer look ^^
@Belala-san
Go, in the Floor and think about your wrong doing now!
Its not the best Artbook there is but its nice enough if youre an Ikki Tousen fan
Posted on November 6th, 2009 at 17:14
I am reading mostly the kanjis that are written on the artbook – I am still a beginner in Japanese ^^;
