THE BEST OF THE BEST

This artbook is my prized possession. It's wonderful, full of full colour illustrations all the fans of yaoi will fall in love with. A definite must have for all yamane ayano fans and for fans of pretty boys and yaoi in general. The book is bigger than usual artbooks and comes in a hard plastic case. I would not sell this to anyone. It's a jewel of my collection.
Yeah, yeah, I'm jumping on board

After the plethora of glorious reviews, I too succumbed to the wonder that is Aya. Yes, it's amazing, filled to the brim with a fantastical wonderland of boy love (actually, man love). No matter what your yaoi manga fetish, it is pretty much represented here. Even if you are not a fan of the artist (but if you are reading this, I assume you are), this book will transport you to yaoi heaven.
Yamane Ayano's artbook

What Could I say that other reviewer haven't say it yet? I don't know but I recommend this artbook a lot. This it's just wonderful. I think this is the best yaoi artbook that I have and the artwork of Yamane same is one of the best that I have seen.
If you like the yaoi of Yamane Ayano and you like artbooks, you must buy it.
Simply Stunning

A stunning, large sized artbook, even shipped in a plastic slip cover. Be prepared to pay in blood for a copy, but for Yamane fans it's well worth it.
This book is filled to the brim with her fantastic artworks, ranging from manga covers, novel illustrations, romantic poses and a side dish of kink. There's a few black and white pics scattered in with the rest of the coloured ones, and I feel that the format of the book is large enough to allow you to fully appreciate the beauty of the art.
Definately a must-have!

A Must Buy

This is a beautiful collection of illustrations by Yamane Ayano. It includes gorgeous pictures of the characters from her wildly popular Love Prize series, as well as other equally stunning men. Definitely one book worth its price!
Yamane Ayano Artbook

This is a stunning collection of drawings which showcases Yamane Ayano's finest work, including the popular Viewfinder series. All her characters are gorgeous and come from a variety backgrounds: Salary men, underworld figures, school boys, sword and fantasy, etc. Each drawing is brimming with sexuality. A Must-have artbook for any yaoi fan.

Filthy dosen't even begin to discribe this book. Ayano Yamane has a dirty mind and isn't afraid to use it. The book is full of illustrations from Viewfinder and numerous one-shots as well as illustrations she's done for novels.
The book comes in it's very own plastic case. It's one of the few art books I've gone out and bought new. Usually I wait and try to pick up the books used, just to save myself a little bit of money - but I couldn't wait on this one. It's just too pretty.

Color- and b/w illustrations of Yamane Ayano's works to her manga series, cover illustrations of novels and CD booklets. Interview and information of the mangaka. The book comes in a luxury plastic case, special paper and gold printings - Great design!!
Ayano's art is absolute wonderful!!! Her illustrations are full of passion and expressions. Each picture is a masterpiece, which you can adore extencively due the largesize of the book. The design of this artbook is absolute nobly and is worth its high price.
NOTE: I wrote this review on my website before

A collection of Yamane's illustrations both from novels and her manga. Romantic, erotic, even naughty - a perfect artbook that shouldn't be missed.
