Marupi: Her broiling Manga Action "Cuteness is Addictive" digital book and slightly more....

 


 Keep talking about this semi-longish streak of having at least one post a day though do take the final day of the month off. But besides that there's been one or more posts every day since January 23rd or almost two months, sure I've had longer streaks but 2025 was such a difficult year for posts so I kind of feel good about the streak which I'll try to keep alive for the rest of the month. However having a post each day isn't as easy as it sounds, this post may have been the only one I could have done for today and it's not easy doing posts for Marupi. It was back in 2022 and the first half of 2023 but she had only one post last year but this does make it two for 2026.



 Marupi is a woman I like immensely and I really thought she would be an easy woman to do posts for but this is only her fourteenth in about 3 1/2 years. She's been doing a lot of acting since the Autumn of 2024 plus co-hosts at least one variety show so because of that her gravure modeling has seen such a decrease in new magazine spreads and digital books. Marupi's last two posts have featured many new photos for here but the books in those posts were both over a year old and she hasn't had a new mag spread for a while, will have that semi-oldie in this post. Marupi graduated from college exactly five years ago and did work in an office for the next year but it was too hard juggling two careers, think choosing show biz was the correct choice.



 What I've noticed is that the first post for someone ends up being their most popular and by a wide margin. For instance Marupi's first ever post has 3,850 views to date, most of her others have over a thousand so she is well liked by you readers but none of those other dozen posts have over 1,400 views and that's one odd stat. First off are these recent photos from Marupi's IG page but the first two are trading cards for today's book. Then there's some ultra alluring pics for Valentine's Day and a few others are for her current stage play "Gojubun" and she was also in the superhero series "Number One Sentai Gojuuger" and I do have the show but haven't found time to view it. She may look young but really isn't as birthday #27 will be taking place on November 5th.

















 There being no new magazine spreads for today lets go back in time for Marupi's first ever set of gravure photos which was a month before she graduated from college. This smallish set is a little over five years old and Is from the February 28, 2022 issue of WPB.







 Also have Marupi's last spread to date and that too was for the WPB magazine, she shared the cover for their March 10, 2025 edition but her spread didn't feature the other woman. This spread was such a terrific one and was close to being my favorite from last year, I really hope she makes a return to gravure modeling but Marupi made no mention of that in her IG posts over the last few months.
























 As I've said often it's nice to have some superb older mag spreads and other photos in posts for perhaps you viewers had never seen them before or if you did had completely forgotten about the. Will end off with this oldish digital book the Manga Action magazine released on July 16, 2024 but I hadn't posted it until now. The book had 47 photos plus added two in from the photo shoot but couldn't find a video for the book. So have a fabulous older Young Magazine video after the pics and lets hope Marupi's days of gravure modeling haven't come to an end....
