RATING

:

9.3/10

This third instalment of the [Salty Dog] series of artbooks is better than its predecessors! I think her art has reached a new level. You have to know that Minekura-sensei is absolutely sublime at using effects in her art. It's never JUST an image when it comes to her. You get pictures of the characters juxtaposed against interesting backgrounds, lovely play of shadows and colours. *happy sigh* If you have just enough to money to spend on ONE [Salty Dog] artbook, get this one. Although you might just end up buying the first 2 as well...
