Comment from Satoru Ishibashi
This is my first time to be photographed for the cover of "Ibukuru" by Monthly Shonen Champion! I am very happy!
I was photographed in many different outfits, including a cute loungewear outfit and my very favorite Sukajan!
I think you will be able to see a lot of different Ibukuru in this book. Please check it out!

Kurumi Takemoto comment
This is our first gravure together for Monthly Shonen Champion!
You can see various aspects of "Ibukuru" in this gravure, such as her loungewear, neat school uniform, and short denim and Scajun Yankee-style outfit!
This is our first gravure since being chosen as the W-center of HKT48's 17th single, so I hope many people will like us!

I hope many people will like us!
