Anime Travel Journey Keepsake Book

I’m putting together a small, printed keepsake that captures the travel adventures I’ve shared with my best friend. The idea is to weave each memory into an emotional, heartfelt story told through vibrant anime-style art.

Here’s what I need help with: I’ll supply reference photos, trip notes, and a rough chapter order. From there, I’m looking for someone to illustrate both the characters—their expressions matter a lot—and the scenery that sets each moment apart. Think intimate cafés in Kyoto, sunrise hikes, or that rainy night in Paris when we laughed under one umbrella. No high-octane action sequences; this is about feelings, friendships, and the places that shaped them.

Once the artwork is agreed upon, I’d like you to handle the full book layout (cover included) and prepare a print-ready file. If you can also manage the actual printing—short run, high-quality paper, manga-size or similar—great; if not, just guide me on specs and I’ll place the order locally.

Key deliverables:
• Original anime-style illustrations highlighting expressions and landscapes
• Complete interior and cover design, formatted for print
• Print-ready PDF and source files (PSD/AI/CLIP)

I value clear communication, steady progress updates, and a shared passion for storytelling through art. Let me know your timeline, any questions, and links to relevant portfolio pieces so we can start turning these memories into something tangible.
