Manami Higa: Her breathtaking "Clear" photobook, a repost....

 

 Had only taken one day off this month and came oh so close to making today the second one for April. Some of these posts have been quite large meaning they've also taken a lot of time to do so wanted a breather and do something else besides blogging. But then recalled this book was all set to go and there truly aren't many women who I'd rather to a post for so will always jump that the chance to do one for her. What's kind of surprising is how well liked Manami is here, not all but most of the most popular gals here are J-Pop Idols and gravure models. However Manami's posts have always been popular with you viewers and almost all of them since 2016 have over a thousand views so that definitely pleases me. That project with cleaning up older photobook posts is almost done, there's just a few stragglers such as this one. This book has only seventy photos but had cut in half for two posts, even then those only had 64 photos so this version has six pics that for some reason weren't included. This book was released on April 20, 2012 so a little over fourteen years ago(!), below are some pics of an event Manami attended for the book, she still has thin legs but not as thin as they were back then.

 Manami 😍 is one of my all time favorite women and for the period of 2011-16 had been close to being my #1 of all time. In 2016 she hit the age of thirty and back then there seemed to be a curse with woman who hit that age as we rarely would see them in magazines, at as many events or have photobooks. So it came very difficult to do posts for Manami but I'll never forget about her and still have such a massive photos folder of her. Manami made the first 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list when it was done in 2018 but because the posts came so hard to do she didn't make the second list done in 2022. But she will make a return to the third list and the countdown for it will begin in August. Manami won't be in the top ten but making the list again is quite an achievement and she'll probably be the only woman to be on the first All Time list that didn't make the second but reappeared on the third! Manami will also be the oldest woman as on June 14th she'll be hitting the age of forty and is the first woman I've done many posts for who has hit that age but doesn't she still look so fabulous?

 That she does but for today's set of dazzling photos Mamani was 25 in age and the book came out seven weeks before she celebrated her 26th birthday. Sure I can whip something up for that next b-day party and she's still single, know she had a boyfriend for a while though that was so many years ago(over ten) and that's become so much more common these days. One day I might do some sort of list on the women I post about who are 30+ in age and still single, by a quickie estimate the total is at least twenty! The "Clear" photobook was the first time Manami had ever done any gravure modeling, she may not be as bodacious as a gravure model but I still think she's more alluring than 98% of them! For the photo shoot Manami traveled to Bali, at 169 cm she's one of the taller woman I do posts for. For her 30th birthday in June 2016 Manami released her second photobook "Flap" and have done a post for that book, this one is so superb but Manami's second is actually much better. Hmmmm, it's probably not going to happen or we would have heard about it by now but wouldn't a book for birthday #40 have been such a perfect gift to her fans and Manami 😍 truly still looks so darn good, better than most over a decade younger than she is!!!!
