Great's Himiko-den Artbook

Got the Himiko-den artbook today (took a while because i told them to hold the items until everythiung was in-stock).

I liked it a lot. What i liked the most (strange as it may sound) was the fact some of Great's illustrations were done on cel. As you know, cel coloring is completelly different from the way Great colors his manga stuff, so it felt very new and fresh. I actually think it's more fitting to his clean art style (but i'm just a fan - what do i know).

The book is mostly character illustrations and a dozen or so full page illustrations too. There are interviews too, but i can't read japanese...

Any news on the rumoured new Great artbook?

Is there a rumored topic for this rumored new artbook? I think a Tenjo Tenge art book would be sweet.

Is this readily available in Japanese shops as I`m studying in Kyoto right now and after recently acquiring the volumes of Tenjo Tenge I like Oh Great!`s work and want to experience more.

P.S. Is it all hentai or a nice mixture? (don`t mind a little bit of hentai but an entire book makes me want to spend my money elsewhere.)

Cheers

I don't know anything about the availability in Japan, but I do know that Himiko-Den is not a hentai manga. It's just a normal manga that does have bits of nudity, generally non-sexual I think, here and there.
