Ruka Kitano: Drama Collaboration Photo Book - "Gra-Para!" [Kodansha]

Japanese Original Edition, Idol Photobook, 18+ 

Former SKE48 member and rising actress Ruka Kitano takes on an unprecedented project with her drama collaboration photo book Gra-Para!—a bold fusion of gravure and storytelling.

After making waves in 2024 with her daring debut photobook, Kitano quickly established herself as one of gravure’s most exciting new talents. This time, she brings to life the heroine Sakura Katsuragi from Gra-Para!, based on an original story written exclusively for this project by manga artist Airi Katsura, the creator of the manga version.

Shot on location in Guam, the collection captures Kitano in iconic gravure settings: dazzling beaches, refreshing pools, and elegant hotel scenes, all woven into a narrative that doubles as a spin-off to the drama. Blending performance and gravure artistry, Gra-Para! is a unique photo book that highlights Kitano’s versatility and charm.
