RATING

:

8.9/10

I have not the slightest idea who Tachibana-sensei is, or what [Rasen no Kakera] is all about. I basically took a chance on its pretty cover. A review of [Rasen no Kakera] introduces the manga as shoujo/Japanese historical fantasy/very mildly shounen-ai.

I have one word to sum up this artbook: dainty. The colours, the style, are all very delicate, like watercolours. Fabrics and flowers are also dominant themes. Most of the illustrations are of men clad in robes with really lovely fabrics, and bordered with flowers. There're also illustrations of modern males - mostly schoolboys.
