LIKE A BALANCE LIFE app for iPhone and iPad

Experience on your iPad the very first, seminal works of Range Murata!

This App combines "LIKE A BALANCE LIFE", the first collection by acclaimed Japanese artist Range Murata, and its paperback version, "LIKE A BALANCE LIFE 0.5".
These two books featured the illustrations Range Murata drew for the covers of "Comic Kairakuten", but also sketches, comics and commentaries by the author.

And on this iPad edition you can enjoy exclusive features such as "Sketch View" and "Slideshow"!

"Sketch View" allows you to see the original rough sketch of each illustration.
You can easily access to "Sketch View" by long-tapping each illustration.
On "Sketch View", tap on a sketch to display Range Muratas commentary.
On landscape mode, the rough sketch and the final illustration will show side by side, for you to compare.

With "Slide Show" you can show all the illustrations randomly.
You can also choose your favorite song from your playlist as a soundtrack.
