Okami Official Complete Works
Saturday, March 22nd, 2008Feast your eyes on this big guy...

You betcha! The original Japanese edition of Okami Official Complete Works. (At least, that's what the English edition is going to be called, if they ever actually release it... In fact, the fact that the release date has been pushed back for several months scared me into purchasing the Japanese edition before something made them think nobody wanted it anymore.) And when I say this is the Japanese edition, I'm not kidding... The only English words in the entire thing are "Capcom" and "Clover Studios", that you can see right there on the front cover. As for the book itself? It's cram packed full of Okami goodness... And the book goes from right-to-left, instead of our way of reading from left-to-right. It's... really funky and really fun. For the record? That black trim on the bottom is only a slipcover that I decided to leave on for originality's sake. If you want to check out the rest of the photos I took, clicky the More below! Oh! Also, the cover of the book looks like it's flaking off, but this thing is in pristine condition. It's printed to look that way. I was hoping that the little string was real, but... It's just printed on paperback. Oh well.
