Tales of Series The 20th Anniversary: Kosuke Fujishima's Character Works

Tales of Series The 20th Anniversary: Kosuke Fujishima's Character Works is a comprehensive retrospective of Kosuke Fujishima's character design work across the entire Tales of franchise, published by Ichijinsha in July 2015 to mark the series' 20th anniversary. The book covers every character Fujishima designed from Tales of Phantasia through Tales of Zestiria, collecting rough sketches, early concept illustrations, and finished color originals alongside Fujishima's own commentary on his creative process for each game. Also included are reprinted interviews and conversations with fellow Tales designer Mutsumi Inomata from the earlier individual Character Works volumes, plus two newly drawn signed shikishi illustrations created specifically for this release.

For fans of the franchise this is the definitive single-volume reference for Fujishima's side of the Tales legacy, covering over two decades of character creation from the original SNES era through the PS3/PS4 generation in one place.
