Bought it! I’m still trying to get Cielo at a good price but I purchased the first two. I had been admiring these illustrations for a while and had been trying to figure out what/where the artbooks were. Thanks to your review posts (and some comments from others) I was able to find them easily!

[...] art featured in Alpha and the works collected in Stella, so I’ll simply quote what I said in my review of the first volume: Like the manga series and its anime adaptation, the art of ARIA and AQUA seems to have been [...]

The Singapore Orchard Road branch is ridiculously large. It’s pretty much an entire floor.

@Argas: Great stuff, yeah. I'm still kicking myself for not getting Avvenire as well - it was right there on Animate's shelves, sitting right next to the three. And I didn't buy it! (Mainly because it had a different cover design so I didn't know what I was getting into. They were all sealed so I couldn't check before paying.) Chalk it up to temporary insanity. @Meultima: Ouch! You have my deepest sympathies. (On the side, I wish Kinokuniya would open a branch in my corner of the world. I still have fond memories of the vast manga section in their Singapore Orchard Road branch.) Diegos last blog post...Close encounters of the K-ON! kind

@Diego: Oh man. Tell me about it.

“I’m gonna get that Persona 4 artbook today! ’cause I won’t be around in two week’s time. Yep, today’s the day!”

*Goes to Kinokuniya*

“I want that Persona 4 artbook.”

“…The yellow one?”

“Yeah! *Nodnodnod*”

*Troubling amount of time passes*

“…Sorry, we’re all out. …We can order it for you but it’ll take four weeks.”

*Sound of shattering glass*

I recently obtained Alpha, Stella, and Cielo. Great artbooks, all of them.

@Meultima: It’s a sad fact of life for us poor anime enthusiasts based outside the Land of Raw Fish on Rice – either the local bookshops don’t carry anime/manga artbooks at all, or they only have one or two copies of each title (given the low anticipated demand) which are quickly snapped up before we can get to them.

@Zeroblade: As honorary citizens of Neo-Venezia, we certainly owe it to our adoptive motherland. If your parents cry foul over the expense, just say that it’s a matter of patriotic duty.

@tflops: I highly recommend both. As for the artwork, looking at them makes me wish I had my own private seaside villa, with steps leading directly into the water. I’d sit with my feet in the sea and read a book until I pass out from sheer bliss.
