About the Author
A manga artist for over ten years, Yuu Watase's debut came in 1989 at the
age of 18 when her short story Pajama de Ojama (An Intrusion in Pajamas)
appeared in the monthly Shôjo Comic manga anthology. Since then she
has written and drawn some 50 volumes worth of different short stories and
long-running manga series, including the fantastically popular Fushigi
Yûgi, also available in English from VIZ. Her works have provided the
basis for two television series, an OVA series, anime soundtrack CDs, and a
string of novels.

This artbook is GORGEOUS! Yu Watase is such a talented artist and storyteller, it's so great to just have all the art from my favorite manga series in one book. The colors are crisp and bold, and the printing, binding, and layout are very high-quality and professional. The incredible detail of the artwork and great story make Ceres, in my opinion, better than Fushigi Yugi. I think Watase have improved a lot in the presentation of her characters, and the artwork looks much more mature and detailed.
This artbook also includes character descriptions, legend summaries, manga summaries, maps, plot descriptions, as well as an incredibly enriching interview with Watase herself. This interview is really good. She gives very insightful information about the creation and production of this great series. She talks about the messages she wanted to convey through Ayashi no Ceres, and her own thoughts and feelings about it. Reading this interview really lets you see how mature, creative, and passionate she is (how many other manga writers/artists chat with the readers DURING the book?).
So, in other words, if you like her types of drawings, GET THIS ARTBOOK. It's so worth it. Full color pages, every single published and unpublished drawing from Ayashi no Ceres by Watase. You'll marvel at how beautiful and genuine the art is. This artbook is incredible.

If you are a huge fan of Yuu Watase's artwork you won't regret purchasing this artbook! There are 120 pages, most are in colour that are filled with just breath-taking pictures of the characters from Ceres: Celestial Legend (aka Ayashi no Ceres). If you've seen pictures of Watase-san's artwork for Fushigi Yuugi you will see a major difference in her drawings specifically the eyes and hair! Highly detailed in every possible way includiing the background. Adore this artbook because it really is a piece of art for shoujo and Watase-san fans everywhere!

Yu Watase comes through again with her new series, Ceres. The art is breathtaking, and the editor's review honestly does it no justice at all.
Ceres is a story based on a Japanese legend, and in this legend Ceres (A Heavenly maiden) is forced to marry a fisherman, and the story of Yu Watase's work is that the original Ceres grew old and had children, but always wished to go back to where she came from.
So, she inhabbits the body of a girl every generation, and at 16 each girl of the family is tested to make sure she's not possessed. The main female character turns 16, and poof. She's 'possessed'...I'm not saying what happens next, but the art is enough to make you drool.
Even non-Yu Watase fans will enjoy this Art book, and fans will find it just as enjoyable, even if not moreso.
