Personal Story/ Introduction:
This is hentai artist legend Satoshi Urushihara's second artbook "Venus". Urushihara-san is most well-known for his trademark of drawing ultra-detailed eyes and nipples in his art. I loved Urushihara-san's style in the anime Plastic Little so when I saw this at an anime con, I snatched it up. I can't believe the guy had to check my ID to get it. This was probably one of my first hentai artbooks.
 

Main Themes :
Girls, Exhibitionism, Lesbians, Sex, Fantasy
 

Art / Content:
Digital art. Since this book is so similar to his Cell Works, I won't be changing too much of the review here. This artbook contains many of Urushihara-san's various works. It features a cel-shaded style that we've seen in anime. The art is incredibly clean and very slick. The girls are absolutely adorable and quite curvaceous. His trademark ultra-detailed nipples are shown here in all its glory. The majority of the sexual acts in this book are pretty softcore. Urushihara-san never shows actual penetration or any detailed depiction of the genitals. Most of his art is suggestive which adds to the allure. There are lots of pages of girls who like to expose themselves in public and molest each other. Another (somewhat disturbing) theme in this book is pedophilism. It shows what looks like teenage girls with preteen boys in various sexual situations. It's a common theme Urushihara-san likes to explore. Half of the book is devoted to the sexual themes I mentioned and the other half is on various animes Urushihara-san was involved in.

One major change of this book from his previous one is the inclusion of pubic hair. Urushihara-san drew some really detailed pubic hair here but I think it's a little overdone. They look like porcupine quills. Bad. Some might like it and others won't (like me).

The major anime/manga works featured here is Chirality.

 
Overall: A
This is a another great hentai artbook by Urushihara-san. It features tons of hot naked girls with some other stuff on the side. This book isn't a huge leap above his previous collection but the cleaner line art and extra details in the eyes are great. Minor improvements here and there. The overly detailed pubic hair detracts from the clean cel-shaded works though.
 

Where can I find this?
This book is still in production so you can find it quite easily in various online stores.
