The Favorite One by Chico

Very short review post because I have very little left to review (my finances are not exactly great at the moment), and because I actually have very little info on this dōjinshi - it doesn't display any info but the circle's name (no date, no web media, absolutely nothing), and it's one of those impulse purchases entirely based on an eye-catching cover. Eye-catching for me, at least...




The circle's name is Chico and, unlike what one might expect for the very industrial-looking cover, this is actually a shojo illustration book. Very short, only 12 pages, but it's full color and al images are A4 size. Chico's illustration style is extremely plain, using very Steins;Gate-ish color palettes which I happen to really enjoy. I wish I could peruse more from this circle, but it seems as if they have no internet presence at all. Not even one of those broken Japanese blogs even the smallest, defunct
circles seem to have. What a shame...




As far as I know, Chico produced only one more dōjinshi (Constellation), and a participation in a dōjin anthology. Only the former is still available, I might snag it if I find it for a suitable price.
