The “Five Luxurious Pages! Gravure Feature! Weekly Big Comic Spirits Magazine Appearance Audition” is the first event held in collaboration with Weekly Big Comic Spirits. Since its 1980 launch, the magazine has enjoyed broad popularity, particularly among men in their twenties and thirties; it has produced major hit manga including Aoashi and Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, and serializes popular works including Mogura no Uta and Kujō no Taizai. Many of its works have been adapted for television dramas and films. The event offers the right to appear in the magazine’s high-profile gravure pages, including the opening pages, which have been graced by many idols and talents. It is being held in the hope of creating opportunities for Ichinana streamers aspiring to work as models and talents.
Any certified female 17LIVE streamer aged 18 through 39 may participate. A total of six streamers who place highly in the in-app event beginning today, or who are selected through the audition, will appear as models in the gravure pages of Weekly Big Comic Spirits, scheduled to go on sale around June 2026.
The event will determine the Ichinana streamers who will brighten the pages of this popular young men’s magazine as “gravure models.”
