RENDEZ-VOUS: Watase Seizou × Matsuo Hiromi

A visual book documenting a joint project between two manga artists with very different sensibilities: Seizou Watase, known for polished linework and lyrical short pieces, and Hiromi Matsuo, whose retro-flavored drawings of women have drawn a growing readership. Its centerpiece is a comic drawn from Watase's storyboards and reinterpreted by Matsuo, presented alongside material on how the collaboration came together. The volume also gathers influences on each artist, a conversation between the two, and seldom-seen early work, with front and back covers designed as a matching pair.
