Akita Shoten Co., Ltd. (Bunkyo, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Tokuji Yamaguchi) announces that Ririka Fukui will appear on the cover and in the lead gravure feature of No. 25 of its weekly boys’ manga magazine Weekly Shonen Champion, edited by Hideo Matsuyama and released Thursday, May 21. The issue also comes with a double-sided BIG poster, offers a limited QUO Card service for all applicants, and will hold an online signing event commemorating the cover on the night of its release.
Ririka Fukui, who continues to lead the gravure scene in 2026, appears in Weekly Champion for the fifth time. From the classic, straightforward Ririka in a vivid pink bikini to Ririka in a chic, elegant swimsuit with a pensive expression, she shows more than the innocent smile that has remained unchanged since her debut. Her next stage begins here, combining that smile with a heart-stirring, more mature appeal. Do not miss the double-sided BIG poster supplement and the limited QUO Card service for all applicants.
