“Book cover illustration for Pure Love Moratorium by Michiko Yazuki. This book is a collection of short stories about love: a man who kidnaps
a girlfriend’s daughter, a woman in love with a stalker... Although the protagonist in each story is a bit too extreme and takes things too far, everyone is all pure and serious, and these pure emotions are somewhat comical. Love stories of men and women who are yet to be adults. So, I was asked by the editor to come up with a book cover illustration that shows love, but with a comic action that’s a little extreme.”
