Hello. I don't know if this is the right forum place to ask, feel free to move my thread if it's not. I also couldn't find anything about this when using the search engine. I recently saw the Kuroshitsuji Animation Artbook for Sale. But well, it's not really what I am looking for. I wondered if there's a real artbook? With art drawn by the mangaka, and not with anime images...I searched several online shops but I only was able to find the Animation Artbook. In a review I saw that the Animation Artbook has about 66 Images. But a while ago I read a different review (to which I can't find the link anymore), where it says that the Artbook contains about 120 Images I think it was. So I figured there must be two different Artbooks...? I really hope someone can answer my question.

I don't think Yana Toboso has released an art book for it yet. Amazon.jp, and the G-Fantasy site list just about every official book that has been released, and there's a character guide, the manga, and the special Rainbow Butler anthologies. It'll probably come out eventually, but right now maybe the character guide will be your best bet for more manga art.

As too the tv animation art books, there are two. The first season artbook seems to be 124 pages, while the only site I could find on the 2nd season art book is telling me 31 pages.

I can't look into the image count, but with art books, page numbers aren't a good indicator of how many images there are. There are pictures that take up a full two pages, and then there are pages with three pictures on them. Sometimes they even ad sketches of the color pictures. So sorry, can't help you in the picture count.

thank you. but if you go to http://www.minitokyo.net/Kuroshitsuji you will see that there are some very beautiful pictures that look like from an artbook. they are even called artbook scans. and i dont think they are from the tv animation book since the pics there are totally different...

Probably from GanGan Art Collection Kuroshitsuji (ガンガンアートコレクション 黒執事) with replica of original manga art. There are three yearly editions today (2008-2010), ¥7500 (tax included) each. Looks like no longer available from Amazon.jp but still available from other online shops. Good luck.
