Being the KEY worshiper that I am, I decided to use my Christmas money to order some of their art books. The ones I got were:
- MAG Garden PREMIUM ART COLLECTION “AIR on TV”
- TV Animation Kanon Visual Memories
- TomoyoAfter ~It’s a Wondeful Life~ Complete Visual Fan Book
- Little Busters! Perfect Visual Book
I just got these today around 1:00 P.M. today but I could have had them 27 hours earlier. Yesterday, I didn’t hear the door bell because I was watching Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo. Normally it wouldn’t be a big deal since the mail carriers usually leave the packages in front of my door but FedEx decided to take it back to their facility.
Anyways, these books were well worth it. The first two have promotional art and character art for the TV series as well as episode guides and interviews. The latter two have CG’s from the games and extras such as original sketches and interviews. I only took pictures of Little Busters! since it is the newest one only having been released last month. Also, I won’t scan them since I don’t want to damage the books and besides, my scanner is still in my dorm. I’ll keep my descriptions short and let my pictures do most of the talking:
The Little Busters! Perfect Visual Book is hard-bound and comes with a slip cover and two pencil boards.

Little Busters! Perfect Visual Book has a section called Capture. Basically it’s a guide for unlocking various things AKA CG’s.

Short original story for the Visual Book.
Original Little Busters! sketches by the two art directers, Hinoue Itaru and Na-Ga.
The Visual Book also has sheet music and lyrics for 5 of the songs, Little Busters!, Haruka Kanata, Alicemagic, Amenochi Hare, and Song for friends.
I really hope someone will start translating Little Busters! soon. Hopefully, KyoAni will also animate it eventually along with a planetarian movie or OVA series and possibly a Tomoyo After series. Oh well, I still have 12 more episodes of CLANNAD to enjoy. (I wrote this paragraph just because I wanted to mention all 6 KEY properties in one post.)
