Digital Release: POP’s Ashita no Ashioto

July 07th, 2008 | Category: Japanese Artists,Releases

ava "Ashita no Ashioto" is one of POP's latest releases at the time of writing. I'm not really clear on what it is, but it's kind of like an imagining of a world/scenario populated with characters and love stories. There is quite a bit of text, composed by "Tukune Asagiri". The credits read like a game, really, but I don't think it's going to be a game. There are two books: the actual Ashita no Ashioto book, and an "image sketch book". Both are fairly thin, so I did not bother to split them up (numbering is continuous). The books also come in a folder thing. [Download full size PNGs: 656MB]

Cardboard folder. It's pretty big.

Note the pictures in this post are 25% size of the originals in the PNG archives. I'm not sure how it ended up this big...
