Do you look at otome game artbooks?

[lst]

I can't say that I do. Most of the games I've played don't have artbooks. And as for the few games that do, I guess I just didn't enjoy them enough for me to check out their artbooks.

If I find a game I enjoyed playing, I'll buy the art book to look at.

 

[tsuii.]

If I find a game I enjoyed playing, I'll buy the art book to look at.

Same, if it's a game I really enjoyed or if the art of the game is super pretty, I'll hunt down the artbooks. Otherwise it just isn't really something I think about.

If the worldview is interesting or I like the characters, I look at the artbook.

 

[Iiiiii]

I wish I could but I'm broke

 

[Eril $akurai]

Yes!
If I like the character design.

 

[chocosydney]

Most of the time I do since I'm such a sucker for art books.

 

[Pumpkin Thief]

Ooh absolutely! If an otome I finish has an artbook, I'll go lookin for it :D

 

[woodypei]

Yes I do have some of them. But I don't go hunting for all of them.
It's rly soothing to see the character designs of the characters I love, or all the old promotional art. I'm more inclined to buy newly released ones cuz they often have merch included lol.
Got the Virche one for a big Ankou stand and CupiPara one for Marriage certificate with Ryuki
Ofc I love those two games in general, so I enjoy their art books even regardless of the merch

This depends on whether the game's art style matches my aesthetic.

 

[oliviya]

Never but I recently saw the Chou no Doku one and it's so pretty that I'm tempted to buy it.

I'll buy the physical copies, but I'm careful not to ruin them. I typically look through them once and then keep them in storage.

 

[ryuntsai]

Nope, but if they release drama CDs of my fav LI, maybe i'll buy it haha

 

[Nihilistic]

Yes! But only after I complete it as they tend to have spoilers

 

[YummyYum]

Not too often, but I don't really look at artbooks in general. Though for my favourite games I would be interested in getting some just as a collection thing. But currently I am not in a position to do that.

 

[Snowcrow]

yes!! I love collecting them sometimes, I'll just buy them separately from the game just because I like the art lol

 

[purplebeetle]

Surprisingly, not really. I guess the amount of new content they usually bring isn't worth it for me.

 

[lethiwest]

YESSSSSS I love looking at art books even for non-otome games. I love to see character designs and artistic choices made by designers. I like to draw sometimes too so having art books from professionals is always nice to have for reference when I want to design a new oc

 

[Maiaz]

I love art books … I have over 50 haha … i loved buying them and getting the bonuses

 

[dogiwall]

Yeah, I love artbooks since I like to draw and create my own characters so they're good references and inspiration. Though, I've been just downloading images and managing them through a digital media library program so I haven't been collecting them lately lol

 

[avaloncode]

I love art books!! I only have one (the Code:Realize art book) because I pretty much never buy merch, but that game holds a special place in my heart so I bought it :)

 

[dreamilyshoujo]

Yes! I also like to collect them, so I try my best to buy a psychical copy. The only problem is how expensive the shipping fee is for that XD

 

[Awsomee677]

Yes! But I only have digital versions:_)

 

[arilyn]

Unfortunately most artbooks are soo expensive including shipping fees If there's ever a digital artbook of a game I enjoyed I'll definitely buy it! But having a physical copy is better to collect in my opinion

 

[mikaburnerrr]

I'm a sucker for art, so if there's an artbook available, I'd do my best to check it out! I think it's really interesting and fun to check out the details in all their glory - from character designs to outfits and background, etc. I really love seeing all the worldbuilding, and it also helps inspire me with my own works hehe ♡
