Printed by T-Wave, 08/11/2000, COMIKET 58

By: Tsukasa Jun

.

Description: This is one of Tsukasa's more elaborate doujinshi, with 19 single [removable] prints bound in a plastic-esque binder with a separate 40 page reference book.

.

Details: Unlike Tsukasa's other doujinshi, which are mostly printed in the style of typical artbooks, TB Special 2000 [00] has a distinct presentation. Nineteen individual prints are stored in plastic sleeves in a special binder and can be easily removed for display. In the back of the book, a separate 40 page reference book can be found. It is black and white and features preliminary sketches for each piece of art. In addition, extensive notes are littered throughout. This is a very competent release by Tsukasa.

The print sheets are very vibrant and printed on nice quality paper, but the sheets are not stupdenously thick. Each image is numbered and titled on the back. The binder itself feels almost like plastic to the touch. Due to the nature of the binding, the book is prone to damage if extensive care is not taken. [See pictures above.] On a related note, the prints in the right-hand side flaps can be pretty trciky to remove and replace.

Overall, this is a quality release by Tsukasa. Take note, however, that every single one of the images featured in this release are indeed present in the Tsukasa Bullet original illustration book (Deluxe Edition) [WANI, 2001.] Unfortunately, both this doujinshi and the TB illustration book are quite uncommon... So go figure.
