Art by Akiya Kageichi.

I find this art style uite unique and very charming. Always loved this kind of odd, dark, detailed, very maximalist kind of drawings, with so much contrast, clear lines, and the chromatic choices are so so SO wonderful if you ask me.

They remind me of the art in some of my childhood children's books, that I loved. I hated reading but I adored looking through those books just because of the drawings.
