hey! i hope this isn't an annoying question, but i was looking around for keiko takemiya artbooks to buy and i'm REALLY interested in the cherish gallery collection you posted. is only one of them by keiko takemiya? (there are two artbooks under the keiko takemiya jisen fukusei gengashuu title on amazonjp and i'm not sure what to make of it.)
Hello! Not annoying at all. :D āCherish Galleryā was a looong series of art collections Hakusensha put out, and three of them feature art by Takemiya. Itās super confusing, though, because the numbering is weird.
(Iāll reply to this publicly in case other people are also confusedā¦)
- The first one, published in 1978, is a č±ŖčÆē/goukaban/deluxe edition, and has 32 pieces (16 color and 16 b/w) + a poster in a box. This is the one I own and posted pictures of. This one is NOT numbered.
- The second one, published in 1981, is a č»½č£
ē/keisouban/light edition, and has 12 pieces (8 color, 4 b/w) in a box. This one isnāt numbered either, but has a subtitle: āé³ę„½ćÆåæć®čØčćēµµćÆā¦ā The box cover art is from āSensoukyokuā, featuring a boy by a piano and a boy holding a violin.
- The third one, published in 1983, is also a č»½č£
ē/keisouban/light edition, and has 12 pieces (8 color, 4 b/w) in a box. This one IS numbered, and called ā2ā³. Its subtitle is āå°å¹“ć®ććę
ęÆā, and the cover is of a girl with orange hair.
The amazon sellers also seem super confused. :/ When I bought it, there was a listing for the ādeluxe editionā clearly marked with images and everything. Thereās one seller here whoās actually selling the deluxe edition for 4.500 yen, but has it listed under the wrong title. I think your best bet is to read the descriptions by the sellers (check the publication date + number of pieces included) rather than following the titles. Super confusing. Hope you figure it out! Itās gorgeous.
