http://www.pictureboxinc.com/products/971-color-engineering-ltd-edition With his fourth volume for PictureBox, designed and edited by the artist himself, Yokoyama broaches significant new terrain: color! Color Engineering reproduces both older and unseen imagery from the 2000s with dozens of color drawings and paintings that were executed in 2010 during a six-week open studio event held in Tokyo, at which the public was able to view Yokoyama at work. A selection of these canvases is reproduced here as gatefold pages, and is integrated among comic-strip sequences executed in a variety of techniques: photography, loose marker drawings, hyper-real portraiture and much more. These sequences continue his investigations into the world of machines, architecture and post-human fashion, and are the first Yokoyama narratives to provide insight into the artist's personal world, in details of his rural habitat.

The very tall Kiyoko Naito is 5'9". She's outgoing, dependable, and is like a big sister to everyone. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a beautiful princess, but as she grew older and taller, she found herself becoming more like the "knight" that protects the other girls around her. Mikoto Himeno is a younger guy who works at the same office as Kiyoko. People call him a gloomy and incompetent loser, which makes Kiyoko worry about him. One day, she finds an opportunity to talk to Mikoto properly and discovers an astonishing truth about him. Himeno decides that she's going to step up and help this guy, whom everyone has the wrong idea about. She promises to protect him if he gets into any trouble and urges him to stop hiding his true self! From then on, he becomes the "princess" and she his "knight"...! A romantic comedy about a boy as beautiful as a princess, and the girl who serves as his "bodyguard"! (Source: Renta!)

My first impression of Ryuuga was “This is the kind of protagonist you’d see in something like an anime.” Then, that thought soon changed into conviction. First of all, this guy almost never talks about his past. Also, he frequently slips out of class. As soon as he comes back, he gets extremely tired, blood comes out from his lips, the sleeves and cuffs of his uniform get torn, and so forth. Furthermore, there’s always beauties that are surrounding Ryuuga. The one who’s like an idol within the school, Yukimiya Shiori. The cool expert of the sword, Aogasaki Rei. The mysterious transfer student, Elmira McCartney. It’s very tiring for me when these people appear in front of Ryuuga. I have to frantically make a fuss by saying things like “H, hey Ryuga! How did you get acquainted with Yukimiya!”, “W, why did the beautiful swordswoman Aogasaki come to the classroom to specifically meet Ryuga?!”, or “E, E, Elmira! What is it that you see in Ryuga!” …So why am I doing this? That’s because I, Kobayashi Ichirou, am a pro at being a friend. My life’s calling is to support Hinomori Ryuuga, the protagonist amongst protagonists, as a close friend character. ―Let the curtains open for the rom-com presented by co-starring best friend, Kobayashi Ichirou!
