Yankii JK Kuzuhana-chan Collaboration
Issue 46 includes a collaboration with Sogabe Toshinori’s “tsuratan harem school romantic comedy” Yankii JK Kuzuhana-chan. The feature brings a super collaboration back cover with Shinonome Umi, a gravure recreating scenes from the original manga, and a double-sided BIG collaboration poster. The issue also carries a limited QUO card offer for all applicants.
Shinonome Umi, known for a tightly toned and “greedy” beautiful body, marks her fifth appearance in Weekly Shonen Champion. She also appears in cosplay gravure as Yankii JK Kuzuhana-chan characters Kuzuryuu Hanako and Takae Kasumi. The issue invites readers to spend a long autumn night with Shinonome Umi.
