TAAZE full selection of second-hand gift books. I am relatively unfamiliar with the author and the series of works~ Ai×Kira seems to have drawn a lot of novel covers and illustrations, some of which have been seen in bookstores.

The words on the cover and the side of the book are hot silver, the inside cover is the line draft of the cover image, and a cross-folded poster is attached. Many of the content are cross-page images, but they are not completely spread out. The BG and BL illustrations are intertwined, making me a little confused (X) 🤣

Personally, I think the details of the illustrations are quite gorgeous and the degree of completion is very high. Almost all of them are covers and illustrations drawn for commercial novels, as well as the authors' own fanbooks. It is rare to see a combination of two painters, which is very special~

Official Introduction

From fan originals to commercial illustrations, Ai×Kira's more than ten years of creations are selected, showing a gorgeous style that is suitable for both ancient and modern times, and compatible with Chinese and Western styles. A total of 100 color pictures and 30 black and white illustrations are included, as well as Ai×Kira's meticulous explanation of the work, as well as the exquisite character setting manuscript!

This album witnesses the creative trajectory of Ai×Kira for more than ten years. The illustration part of the novel includes cover and inner color illustrations such as "Dark Hometown Soul", "Interstellar Boys' League Moe", "The City of Eternal Day", "Holding the Hand, Drag You Away", showing the gorgeous paintings of Ai×Kira Technical and precise interpretation.

About the Author

Ai×Kira

A duo of painters from Hong Kong. The two are friends and partners, and they were born on the same day in the same month. Since both of them have full-time jobs, they often change appearances~ (laughs) I like to eat, travel, and hedonism is paramount. The two formed the AHKP family, a fan club, and worked together to create the original story "Blade of the White Wolf".

The covers of commercial novels that he has drawn include "Dark Hometown Soul", "Interstellar Beauty Boys League Meng", "Hold Your Hand, Drag You Away", "The City of Eternal Day" and other works.
