Hi there! I just discovered your blog today while hunting for info about the Shamanic Princess novel, and I'm SO thankful for the scans you posted of the novel art! They're so pretty ;o; Are you able to tell me if there's any more illustrations in the novel? I'd love to see scans if so, but I understand if that's not possible. Thanks so much!!

Hi, always happy to see another Shamanic Princess fan online! From an illustration perspective alone, the novel is worth owning. There are quite a few pictures within the light novel and most were never included in Ishida Atsuko's art books. So if you're a fan of her work then I highly recommend tracking the book down second hand someday for the rare art.

I'm not really able to do much complicated scanning at the moment, but what I have done is take photos of almost all the images for you so at least this way you have an idea of what's inside. Please enjoy :3

^ This is the double-sided fold out poster within the novel. One side is of course the cover illustration (right) while the other is a gorgeous one of Tiara and Kagetsu.

^ Colour title page and first b&w illustration.

^ All the remaining black & white illustrations from the novel.

^ Original character designs by Ishida.

^ Original colour sketches by Ishida. The project once had a far more majokko-esque angle to it than what we saw in the finished product (Ishida gives some details at the end of the book).

The only images missing are this colour page and the cover, which I've scanned previously. Newtype light novels from the 90s tended to have additional colour pages and with their larger print format than standard light novels, they really are gorgeous.

The actually written content of the novel is a bit more middling imho, but it has been about a decade since I've read it. I prefer to focus on the art with this one, let's put it that way.

Anyway, hope that helps.

my top 9 favorite Magical Girl anime.

[magicalgirlpictureencyclopedia]

The magical girl timeline catalogue shown in the Magical Girl Magazine. I find a few of the picks odd here (such as Tenshi ni Narumon, the main love interest is a angel, but it does feature witches/majokko), along with Figure 17: Tsubasa & Hikaru and Pita-Ten, but otherwise it's a nice list to showcase old titles. Not perfect scans, but I still have all of the series scanned now on here.

⭐️I ask to not like, debate every single thing listed on here if the intent is to start a debate about "well does this count" or assuming me posting this means I agree with the list entirely (nor does this matter much over this old 2010's magazine publication.) Just stating this cause I get those kind of comments all the time and I'd rather focus on liking the magazine, not "real mahou shoujo" debates and arguments. Thank you.

Sorry for the lack of art, I got sick and then i just struggled to get back into drawing again, but i got nostalgic and inspired enough to draw something before the year ends :>
