The Artbook?; oops...

I think I just accidentally ordered the Nabari no Ou artbook (don't ask... it was an accident....) so I was wondering, does anybody else have it? And if so, is it well-worth however much I just accidentally spent on it?

(...My bank account is going to come to life and shank me while I sleep tonight. I DIDN'T MEAN TO CLICK THE BUTTON I SWEAR. **cries**)

Do you mean Liricamente? (Which is what the artbook is called) If so, then personally, I think it's a good buy, but that actually depends on how much you spent on it... (I bought my copy for $40, including S+H)

But there's some cool stuff in there. A fore-word from Kamatani-sama herself is in there (although I haven't been able to translate anything aside from "thank you." lD), and then there's a few sketches for illustrations that were never turned into real beautiful ones, and remained sketches. (There is at least one sketch, where in a small corner, you see Yoite dressed as a kitty, and Yukimi as a mummy, pffft)

Otherwise, aside from that, it includes every little illustration from Volumes 1-8. It's somewhat small, but I think it's pretty good/pretty for an artbook.

Well... I definitely did buy it because a receipt just showed up in my inbox.

Whoops. Oh well.

With the yen to USD conversion, it looks like I got it for just under $30, shipping included. Which is... pretty damn good for an artbook (especially an imported one) but I really didn't have $30 to spend considering that I need to buy textbooks in about three weeks and I have NO JOB GAAAAAH.

But it sounds pretty cool and I do love her art, so maybe it is fate? When it arrives, I am definitely keeping an eye out for kitty!Yoite and mummy!Yukimi, LOL.

Well, maybe you'll find a way to work it out, with the money problems, at least? (Just stay optimistic- It...kinda helps for me. XD;; )

Kitty!Yoite and Mummy!Yukimi are on page 75, in the sketch located bottom corner facing outwards. They're at the top right corner on the sketch, if memory serves right. :P

If you can't cancel the order, you could always sell it - I'm sure someone on the Nabari comm would want it.

I've seen scans from the artbook, and it looks lovely. It has a bunch of the gorgeous chapter title pages in colour, iirc.

I'm sure the money will all work out... I can't buy anymore "just 'cause I want it!" stuff for a while, but with scholarships and fin aid I'll still be good for school. Hopefully. I think. I just freaked out because I had noooo idea how much my bank account had been charged for my stupid clicky mistake/lack of thorough reading.

I could sell it (I'm positive someone would buy it) but I am very possessive of my possessions. I doubt I'll be able to get rid of it right after I get it, LOL. Still, I could save it to sell for a time with lots of rainy days...

UPDATE! The book arrived a couple of weeks ago and was totally worth the accidental purchase. It's really, really gorgeous, IMO. If y'all want, I can post some pretty pictures later.
