If you like hot anime girls, this is the art book for you.
Ugetsu Hakua is an exceptional character design artist. It is strange though that he only design female characters, not that anyone's complaining. His costume design is fantastic, always elaborate and sexy.
Inside the book are full page high resolution poster style illustrations, with occasional 2-page spreads. The technical skills in line work and colouring is top notch, and composition wonderful. There's incredible detail put into every part of the drawing.
The book I have in hand is a Japanese print, with only 90 pages. The one published by Digital Manga Publishing has 100 pages. I don't know what's missing here. The colour reproduction is amazing. Too bad there's no hardcover version for it.
This book is pure eye candy. Highly recommended if you're into anime art books or female character designs.

First off, let me say that I really enjoyed this art collection. The style is excellent and the colours are nice and bright and the characters are just great. However, and this is only a small however, roughly half the book is dedicated to artwork from a single subject, namely Burst Angel. Not necessarily a bad thing but I was expecting more diversity. Nonetheless, if cute manga/anime is your thing, then this book is perfect.

As Parka notes, the DMP release of Flamboyant differs from the original Japanese. Not often that the western version actually gets more for their money, but that is what is the case here. What we get is five illustrations not in the Japanese edition (which also means five "blank" pages). It's good to see a western company put in some effort when they do release an artbook, as these tend to be few and far between nowadays, so they make it worthwhile.
The liking of art styles are subject to taste, but I like Ugetsu's work. I was only fully aware of it when I watched Burst Angel. If you liked the Burst Angel anime, then you'll like this collection as about half the book is devoted to it. You'll also find his linework for Burst Angel here as well.
There are two fold-outs in the front as well as a treat, so the art isn't just fitted onto a page which means we get to see more detail.
I only gave this a 4/5 because the range of his works in Flamboyant is too limited. I am aware he has done more design work which is why this collection disappointed me a little. What is in the collection is fantastic, no doubt about it, but I had just hoped for more of his other works to be included.
This is labeled with a "Parental advisory" sticker citing "explicit content", which is perhaps something that people buying this as a gift may want to be aware of. There are four or five illustrations which I would place in this category, and these are nudes. (The tone of these illustrations aren't sexual if anyone is worried about that, but this will depend on your own view of such things.) If I was to be more critical about this issue, perhaps one of these may be seen as more suggestive and verging on sexual. (Maybe.)
