Imada Mio:
"Oh, if Kawaguchi AND Mana-chan both disappear, that makes me the queen of commercials"

An annual income of 680 million yen……

Ashida Mana and Honda Miyu are our last hope

Can't be helped, honestly

He's got that soft, pretty-boy look
even Fuku-kun can't compete with this
21Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 06:25:44.46
All this fuss over them just chatting during a break
23Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 06:26:11.50
If you actually read the article, they're just having a friendly chat with a co-star lol

So the kid from 'Mother' is going to become a mother herself, huh…… ("Mother" = the 2010 drama she starred in as a child)
37Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 07:15:37.70
Kubo-chan didn't even get a mention lol
38Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 07:16:12.33
Apparently her parents aren't interested in celebrities at all
and supposedly want her to marry a government bureaucrat or something
49Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 07:34:39.03
A lot of the child actors from that era, like Mana-chan and Fuku-kun, turned out pretty well-adjusted
even that kid who got mercilessly trashed online back in his child-actor days grew up into a buff, handsome guy
80Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 08:51:45.79

Who's this buff handsome guy you're talking about?
54Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 07:37:21.64
It's not like they stayed the night together or anything, so it's fine
55Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 07:38:00.40
This was probably a reshoot her agency arranged on purpose
65Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 07:55:12.01
Mana-chan's acting has zero charm whatsoever
66Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 07:59:54.33
>>65
TV stations aren't expecting good acting from Mana-chan anyway
they're banking on the huge sponsors standing behind her
68Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 08:02:02.67
>>65
Everyone's entitled to their own taste, but there's no need to go out of your way to trash her
82Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 09:43:14.52
>>65
She's been doing nothing but commercials and variety shows, so her acting's gotten worse
67Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 08:00:59.27
Maybe it's tough to find roles for her age, but lately I only ever see her on variety shows and in commercials
69Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 08:02:57.08
>>67
You're just out of the loop
75Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 08:24:10.43

The manager looks awfully used to holding her lol
89Anonymous2026/08/18(火) 10:26:29.21
Middle-aged guys really do all love Ashida Mana-chan, huh
and the creepy part is they're looking at her as a woman, not as a granddaughter or daughter figure
