Many fans are undoubtedly familiar with the legendary cartoonist, Katsura Masakazu. Late last year, after undergoing a major surgery and making a full recovery, he's been actively sharing his life on X, and frequently showcasing his masterful artistry in drawing his signature 'buttocks'.
Today (9/17), Katsura Masakazu announced the release of a new art book titled "Positive & Sensitive: Katsura Masakazu's Buttocks Art Collection". This collection features years of his artistic creations, a unique and positive compilation brimming with Katsura Masakazu's passion for the 'buttocks'. It's currently available for pre-order on Amazon Japan.
When you talk about Katsura Masakazu, you absolutely cannot forget the incredibly captivating 'buttocks' he draws. Some even say that Katsura Masakazu's works "taught a generation, those who grew up reading his manga, the true allure of the derriere." For years, his overwhelming skill in depicting buttocks has consistently captivated fans.
This book focuses on the depiction of 'buttocks' that Katsura Masakazu has researched and honed over many years, with Katsura Masakazu himself carefully selecting content from newly drawn works to compile this concept art book.
Ideal body curves, luscious fleshiness, the visual effects presented by different poses, and the lines created by lingerie intertwined with the body... In addition to original works born from Katsura Masakazu's years of research, it also includes a large number of pieces drawn from real-life models.
The models featured, in order of appearance, include Enako, Mariya Ise, Iori Moe (and several other models).
What's more, this art book will also share techniques on how to draw 'buttocks', giving you a peek into how Katsura Masakazu masters their intricacies.

He hopes that if people appreciate it, they will show their support. The entire book is 148 pages long and features a grand total of 120 buttocks... LOL.
