April 11, 20232 yr That right folks! Kadokawa is releasing a new Guyver artbook, that is up for pre-order on their official site, with a release date in July. Their official site in purely in Japanese, so I will keep this updated if someone finds an easier place to pre-order.
April 11, 20232 yr amazing!! You definitely would have a problem preordering from kadokawa because they ask for a Japanese address when trying to sign up. Best to try Amazon https://www.amazon.co.jp/高屋良樹画集-強殖装甲ガイバー-イラストレーション-クロニクル-角川コミックス・エース/dp/4041132649/
April 12, 20232 yr Funnily enough, the reply to that tweet is mostly people complaining to continue the serialization before releasing such book.
April 12, 20232 yr So we got a new Figma action figure of Guyver 1, and now an art book. Quite remarkable. I would assume Kadokawa is trying to see if there is still interest with fans, at least in the Japanese market.
April 12, 20232 yr On the amazon listing it does mention 'restart'. This suggests that this artbook may be part of a marketing campaign for the return of Guyver serialisation.
April 14, 20232 yr Woahhh, this is insane news!! I'll definitely be getting my pre-order in. I had actually been thinking a while ago about how much content could fill up a second VDF and was a bit disheartened because I thought such a thing would never happen. Well here we go! Arguably a new chapter would be even better news but I'm looking forward to all the eye candy that comes with this book. It's strange that the Amazon listing is calling it Takaya's "first" art book of Guyver, but that could just be google translate being weird?

It was a Visual Data file book!

Great news (Hopefully it leads to what we're hoping!) and thanks for the link to it on Amazon, pre-ordered 2!
April 21, 20232 yr So I would have to make an account at Amazon Japan in order to pre-order this artbook, correct?

Well before I go any further, is there anything I should know about Amazon Japan? Will they ship to America?

They'll take your debit or credit card. The shipping might be a little high but we should expect that anyway.
July 24, 20232 yr I think it leaves a bad taste that they're still merchandising the franchise when the series is in limbo. Almost feels like they won't officially cancel it for that exact reason.
July 24, 20232 yr It's not exactly like they are milking it. There has been some real problems from what we can gather. The action figures are something that collectors are really clamouring for and this is the first publication of guyver we have had in years. I wonder when the VDF was released? was it around the time guyver resumed after moving to kadokawa? I firmly believe this book is a herald of the manga's return. Edited July 24, 20232 yr by Tora Tan

I really want to see the story get a proper conclusion.
July 26, 20232 yr The artbook is released today. For those who bought it, how is it? Anything to drool over?
July 26, 20232 yr There is a preview of the inside of the book up on Amazon now - nothing new or mindblowing but I'm sure the book will be a nice package. Interesting that there's no proper cover image yet though. edit: cover https://twitter.com/baronend/status/1684102104011636736/photo/1
