This long-awaited first book by animator Satoshi Shigeta explores the essence of his “Shigeta style,” covering everything from licensed illustrations to the creative process behind them.

A pioneer in mechanical animation who has brought innovation to numerous hit anime series (Mobile Suit Gundam, Code Geass, Sakura Wars, and Macross Frontier, among others), Shigeta presents a comprehensive collection of his work, with a focus on poster and packaging illustrations as well as production processes.

Bold layouts, dynamic line work, and precise proportions—each illustration is explained in detail through the artist’s own commentary, revealing the passion and soul behind every piece.

The book also includes special interviews with finishing artist Nagisa Abe, special effects artist Hirofumi Yagi, mentor Yoshiyuki Uchida, and director Mitsuo Fukuda.
