Art Books

I'm just going to provide brief descriptions of the contents of each art book. Personally, I own the Perfect Collection vol. 1 (which is lovely!!). Check the Where to Find... section for locations where you can get your own.

To Heart Perfect Collection vol. 1
96 pages

At the present time, this is the only To Heart art book which I own. It is fabulous. There are full-color, full-page portraits of each character, plus some other color illustrations. The first 6 or 7 anime episodes are summarized, with many screencaps. There are also interviews with the creators and a wonderful section with character sketches of everyone (very nice, especially if you're planning to cosplay as one ^^).

To Heart Perfect Collection vol. 2
96 pages

I don't know exactly what's in this, but I will make an educated guess. I know it contains more full-color, full-page portraits of each character, full-body this time. It also contains the rest of the episode summaries. Other than that, I really couldn't tell you what's in it. I will do my best to find out.

To Heart Max - Game Illustration Book
80 pages, color illustrations

From what I've seen, this is illustrated by Kosuke Fujishima, which amazingly is the manga artist who created Ah! Megami-sama!/Oh My Goddess! and Taihen Shichau Zo!/You're Under Arrest!. I have no idea why he would be affiliated with this project, but I'm looking into it. The book includes an interview, a few short manga stories, and lovely illustrations based on the game and anime.

To Heart Anthology + Alpha
80 pages (48 in color)

This is an art book which focuses on the To Heart manga. It has many color illustrations, and a short manga story.

To Heart Visual Fun Book
160 pages

This book is focused on the girls in the series. It's based on the To Heart PS game, and contains full-color character guides, pin-up illustrations, and even fanart. There are black & white prototype character designs and creator and staff interviews like in the Perfect Collections (see above), and also a brief manga story containing some brief nudity.
