In the dead of night comes a long-awaited new book. DaisukeRichard's first comic art collection KIKANETSU went viral not just in Japan but also internationally, leading him to new commercial works in collaboration with big companies and artists. The title of this new book, USHIMITSUDOKI, meaning 'in the dead of night' or 'witching hour,' was chosen because the many melancholic girls illustrated in this book were given wings and horns to make them look like Yokai spirits, adding a creepy feel to each of the illustrations. Collecting over 140 illustrations, including original illustrations and commercial works, this book is the world's most anticipated book in the anime/manga illustration scene.
