Nashiko Momotsuki Graces Weekly Shonen Champion No. 7 Cover and Lead Gravure

Akita Shoten Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Bunkyo, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Tokuji Yamaguchi) announces that Nashiko Momotsuki will appear on the cover and in the lead gravure feature of No. 7 of the weekly boys’ manga magazine Weekly Shonen Champion (Editor-in-Chief: Eisei Matsuyama), on sale Thursday, January 15. The issue will also include a double-sided BIG poster supplement and a limited QUO Card service offer for all applicants.

Nashiko Momotsuki, who is also enjoying great success as an actor, including in her first starring role in a terrestrial TV drama series now on air, makes her 13th appearance in Weekly Shonen Champion! This time, she slips away from the drama set for a secret hot-spring trip.

From scenes of her relaxing in a hot spring with a tenugui towel on her head to relaxed moments in which a white bikini peeks out from her yukata, be sure to take in the beautiful Nashiko as she is enveloped in steam! A double-sided BIG poster supplement and a limited QUO Card service offer for all applicants will also be available!

Comment from Nashiko Momotsuki

“It now feels almost nostalgic that I used to say, ‘My goal is to be on the cover 10 times!’ I am grateful to have been able to appear on so many covers like this! With the feel of a secret trip… I am worried whether the scarf suits me (laughs). Do you think it does!? My aspiration for 2026 is… to live happily! Both in work and private life, I want to spend every day feeling at the end of it, ‘Today was fun, too.’”
