The book is finally here! I fell in love with the artwork the second I saw it. Adding a few of my favourites here, but the book is full of this amazingness.

Funny… I've had two Koharu Kusumi photobooks for over 10 years now, but I've never even played the DVDs because I downloaded the ISO files years before buying the books!
Opening the DVD pocket for the very first time now!
