Since 1973, Go Nagai’s Cutie Honey has been many things: a manga, several anime, a stage show and even a live-action tokusatsu film and series. Now, 50 artists have gathered to express their appreciation for Honey Kisaragi’s many charms in a two-part tribute art book.
Cutie & Honey -A Cutie Honey 50th Anniversary Tribute Artbook- is divided into two volumes sold together in a sleeve case. The “Cutie” side features art focused on Honey’s cuteness, and sports a cover (seen above) by Kill la Kill animation director and character designer Sushio. The “Honey” side pays tribute to the character’s sexiness, sporting a cover by rising star pinup artist Blue_Gk. Other notable artists featured include The Slayers light novel artist Rui Araizumi and VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fire character designer Tsukasa Kotobuki.
The art book goes on sale November 29; but if you can’t wait that long, you can head to the Cutie & Honey Exhibition and grab it today! The exhibition will be held on floor 6 of Volks Akihabara Hobby Paradise 2 from November 23 to December 8. Art pieces from the book will be on display alongside Cutie Honey merchandise, and the art book will be on sale early at the venue.Cutie & Honey -A Cutie Honey 50th Anniversary Artbook- is currently available for preorder from GOT Comics.
