A Special Gravure Feature: Nao Tomisato in Weekly Shonen Champion

The anticipation surrounding the 40th issue of Weekly Shonen Champion, set to release on September 4, is palpable as it features a stunning cover and leading gravure by Nao Tomisato from Nogizaka46. This special release coincides with the announcement of a live action promotion for the beloved series Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover (You Are the Four-Leaf Clover), wherein Nao plays the character Yotsuha. Her excitement about the role is evident in her own words—"I worked hard to embody Yotsuha's expressions and aura!"

In celebration of this momentous occasion, Akita Shoten, the publishing company known for Weekly Shonen Champion, will include a double-sided BIG poster as a special bonus along with a captivating giveaway of 200 limited edition QUO cards. This initiative undoubtedly adds an extra layer of excitement for the fans!

Nao's gravure showcases her in the precise school uniform seen in the manga, along with accessories decorated with four-leaf clovers—a fantastic nod to the series' theme. The shoot captures her versatility with a myriad of expressions reminiscent of her character. Additionally, snapshots of her lounging in cozy room wear, as well as wearing a beautiful turquoise dress matching the hue of fans' light sticks, are gems that should not be missed. Nao’s vibrant smile and engaging poses bring Yotsuha to life in a rare gravure that true fans will cherish.
