Tomi: Her blazing "Manga Action" digital book and a few other treats....

 


 Think at last that Winter is ending and what a long one it was as it seemed to start before Halloween. So this will be a somewhat mini post for I want to finally enjoy the outdoors today so there should only be four sections of photos but bet they total up to be over eighty pictures so hard to label that as mini. Often have said how things come in bunches or streaks here, such as one week of posts just for J-Pop Idols, then the next week actresses and dramas tend to have the most posts, etc. Right now the streak is consisting of digital books and have always said how those tend to be released at once for my bigger favorites and that's probably not the case but it seems that way. Even after today's book have another for Tomi and also about a dozen other books that have come out recently along with three regular photobooks so guess those will be dominating the posts for a while.

 

 Tomi has been one of my favorites for close to seven years and I was kind of attracted to her right off the bat! However the posts for her have always been sporadic as she just had three last year but this is her second in two weeks and have enough things for a third post but will try to hold off on that until May. For a long time Tomi was not popular here at all and her posts drew so few views but as the years went on that did change. Not so for her last few posts and that's probably because they've been so sporadic but think they'll be picking back up a bit. Tomi was in a J-Pop group named #2i2 but they disbanded four months ago and wonder if they were holding her back? Seems her activities have picked up since that disbandment and what's increased is her gravure modeling, Tomi is only 149 cm in height but her height is not what you notice about her....



 Will begin off with these recent photos that she's posted at her IG page the last ten days. Tomi was at the April 5th 'Kansai Collection' show but didn't find any pics from it besides the ones below, as you can see she will be the cover girl for the next issue of Weekly Champion, it'll be her first spread for them in four years. In that top photo Tomi was enjoying the local Sakura/Cherry Blossom trees in her hometown of Nagano and there is a nearby place called Tomi City!!!! EDIT: On a side note the "Tomie" mangas and films are among my all time favorites. Tomorrow was going to begin on a mini marathon of the eight movies and it's hard not to think of "Tomie" without thinking of Tomi and vice versa, wonder how she would be playing that beautiful yet eviler than the Devil character?











 I do have one terrific new magazine spread but would prefer holding on to it for her next post. So why not go back in time for a pair of older Tomi mag spreads and I do that more often these days for I bet so many of you have forgotten about some fabulous spreads from years ago or had never seen them. This first set is from the November 2023 edition of Entame and Tomi is the cover girl for most of the magazines she appears in, this is such a sizzling set of photos but she has so many other spreads like this one so it'd be impossible to pick out her best....



















 Even though the Manga Action magazine published today's book there was no spread to promote it which has become too common these days. So will choose a different spread from them and once again Tomi was a cover girl for the magazine's July 5, 2022 issue and like the above mag spread is just so dazzling plus her spreads tend to be larger than most other models.


















 On to the Manga Action digital book that came out last November 4th and I usually tend to hold on to these books longer than longer than I should. This book has 47 photos though there was no video from the photo shoot. Tomi has so many gravure mag spreads and books yet very few videos from them, after the pics is one that's three years old from the Young Jump magazine which could be Tomi's best gravure video to date.
