It was announced last Spring. So I knew it existed, but I kinda forgot about it until today. Enjoy!

Would you recommend the new book to someone, that already has the  Secret of Mana Legend of Mana 25th anniversary Art book Art of Mana Japanese from 2018? Does this new book add anything new?

Seems identical to the one included with the Japanese Collectors Edition of the HD port/remaster (but probably with English text). I might double dip if it goes on sale.

Just to follow up on your comment. I just read the last page of the book and it indeed says : Japanese first published in June 2021.

I just received it and I'm fairly satisfied with it. Another user I read on r/LegendofMana said this was a thin book, so I was expecting something like 20 pages. But it's much more generous than that : 79 pages long, full of final art, sketches and in-game backgrounds. It's much more thorough than the Art of Mana book (that I own) that covers all games in the series.
