"Reminiscences of the City: Strange Tales" is toi8's personal art collection, published in 2015 along with his other art collection, "..."Reminiscing about the cityReleased a month apart, the two art books are designed and arranged within the same framework, and in terms of appearance and content, they seem to be in a "part 1 and part 2" relationship.

toi8's art collection and portfolio:

The art book is B5 size and has 112 pages.

The illustrations included are mostly commercial works by toi8 for novels, games, and anime, accompanied by text descriptions. Many well-known works are included, such as *Maoyuu Maou Yuusha*, *Attack on Titan*, *Fate/stay night*, and *Two-Faced Knight*. However, the number of illustrations for any single work is not particularly large. (The only one with a relatively large number is 14 pages for *Maoyuu Maou Yuusha*.)

The illustrations are sometimes warm and inviting, sometimes deep and mysterious, conveying delicate moods through toi8's unique brushstrokes! 💫

The book also includes an interview with toi8 and a 16-page set of setting information for "Double Knight".

Official Introduction

A phantom-like, crystal-clear beauty

Toi8, the illustrator of "One Hundred Views of Tokyo Fantasy," is renowned for his gentle, pencil-like brushstrokes. His works are characterized by delicate lines and vibrant colors. Beyond the main characters, the artist's meticulous attention to detail in the backgrounds and every corner of the artwork reveals a desire to showcase the intricate world-building. The overall transparency of his work is captivating. This book is toi8's second art book series, following his previous work, "Memories of the City." It includes color illustrations from numerous well-known anime and manga works, such as "Maoyuu Maou Yuusha," "Attack on Titan," "Fate/stay night," and "Double Knight," all reinterpreted and brought to life by toi8's artistry. These works were mostly created sporadically for novel illustrations, CD covers, and magazine covers; this art book brings them all together, offering readers a unique opportunity to collect toi8's beautiful artwork. Furthermore, the book includes an interview with toi8 and a collection of setting materials for "Double Knight."
