Very nice indeed. I place him a bit of a second to Sano Toshihide (whose art book I bought recently!!) but still a classic of ero game artists.

Nice call on the Core Magazine page! I didn’t know they’d put one up. I’d have to disagree with you on INO’s more recent work, I vastly prefer Oshioki Sweetie and Kiss x 400 over his early Mink stuff, though I’m not so keen on Alea and Kimihagu.

I have my copy of the artbook on order but won’t be able to receive it until the 30th; I’ll have a review up ASAP following that date.

I barely recognized that this was INO’s art work!
His style has really changed drastically from what it used to be! :(

It looks so plain to me now.
If anyone buys the book, let me know if anything remotely resembling his old style is present, otherwise there is no incentive for me to buy at all.

Coremagazine has posted a few samples, but not much:

i think what makes him good is the ability to draw anatomy and god damn sexy.

Shingo, I’m inclined to think the purple-haired lad is an unfortunate victim of a serious (and probably life-threatening) case of hydrocele testis.

I don’t care what it takes… I need that art book. For that price, I’ll gladly fork out any outrageous shipping charges.

The Creator Spotlight feature is great stuff.
(Might I suggest a posthumous one for Hidero Horibe?)

IMO some of INO’s more experimental angles in Alea’s CGs didn’t quite “work,” though Kimihagu’s CGs are absolutely killer.
