The "Umezu Yasuomi's Usui Book" goes on sale to the general public on February 20!　A booklet created by animation director Yasuomi Umezu for events

An event-only booklet by animation director Yasuomi Umezu, "Umezu Yasuomi's Usui Book," will be on sale to the general public starting February 20.

This booklet was created by animation genius Yasuomi Umezu, who has created "A KITE," "MEZZO FORTE," "Wizard Barristers: Cecil the Benmajiri," and other works that have received recognition both in Japan and abroad, to be sold at a talk event held earlier in the year. It contains the complete character drafts and image boards drawn by Mr. Umezu for the theatrical animation "KISS AND CRY," which is currently under planning, and the more than 60 detailed image boards are outstandingly impressive. As the title suggests, it is a thin book (B5 size, 48 pages) with few pages, but it is a book with rich contents.

The book will be available for general sale on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/490294815X/) and Anime Style official mail order (http://animestyle.jp/shop/) from February 20. The price is 1,000 yen plus tax. It will not be available at bookstores.
