To Love-Ru Manga is celebrating not only over 12 million copies sold , but also practically unheard of sales for its notorious ?Venus? artbook, which has managed 120,000 copies on its own.

Venus, aside from enjoying 120,000 sales and no less than 6 reprintings, also supplies more than a little support for the theory that Kentaro Yabuki or his assistants were responsible for at least some of the famed coloured and nude filtered versions which keep surfacing

I have a copy of the Venus artbook. Was lucky to find out about it and pre-ordered it during the first printing, cuz' it sold out very fast. The art and quality of the book are fantastic. My most treasured possession thus far. Currently, I'm collecting the Darkness manga series, so I guess this is good news.

Well, i wanted too to own the artbook but i dont have money so i just had to settle with the images, i got the whole artbook in my computer, but it still not the same as owning the book T_T

You mean the scans with the watermarks, right? I have those too and it pales in comparison. The book has a lot of transparent pages that serves as an overlay over the nude images to produce alternate costumes, which cannot be scanned. You should start saving money and get a copy too. It only costs around $70. You'll thank me later.

That sounds awesome... Will amazon.co.jp ship to North America?
