Alright Karin-chan it has been 2 weeks, I know. You won't mind even a few more days anyways; Summer's not over they can wait. *laughs* Summer's not over YET.

If I told you that a record-breaking number of them Japanese voice actresses went to Okinawa this year alone to take some (gravure level) photos so we can see them in all the skin that they can show, would you believe me? Not if it's not Isobe Karin haha LET'S GOOOOO

Haha hey this be the season of giving... back to the fans apparently because apart from the insane lack of shame all these ladies have this summer lol, I CANNOT BELIEVE I have waited for this all summer because summer refuses to end! To give it a proper send-off though (lol), we shall talk about the hottest(?) photobook of this season, and see what they have to offer!! Oh, today is Angel Day too haha this was worth the wait Karin-chan my angel because with this book I promise you my crotch will be- Thanks for this awesomeness *giggles*

THE ORIGIN

Well, if you have no idea about this Japanese voice actress, I am not going to blame you the slightest. For Isobe Karin here who only appeared in Anime a handful of times most notably starring her first main role in original animation "Just Because!" charming us with her soft and very pure voice acting, could not get me more interested in her despite the show itself not really showing a lot of substance, but we shall not talk about that. Other than Anime, Karin-chan has shown much more involvement in video game voice acting and that is how she got me to play web-based idol game "The "THE iDOLM@STER Shiny Colors" as Tsukioka Kogane which is THE MOST STACKED character in game with a Nagasaki accent and that's how you remember of her lol it's the unique accent dude, and especially she has been more than involved with stage performances where she was before, appearing more than often in musicals and thanks to her voice acting skills, in recitals too which are both a thing in Japan's culture. So yeah, not your conventional popular voice actress with a carpet line of roles, but still, she did leave an impression because of her dainty character and overall alluring image.

As for the book itself, it all began just a few months ago where she announced in an Instagram live which she has not personally done in years, a photobook that will serve to please all her fans and, I guess at this point even if you aren't, non-fans alike. Though soon after Karin-chan talked about releasing a photobook in September back in end June, many voice actresses after her have announced to release photobooks around the same time period (second half of September to early October) from the young, popular ones to old, matured ones and many of them whom I do not know of thank goodness (or else this will be quite a showdown haha), delivering summer photobooks with promise of swimsuits and shots to please, we thought this was a trend incoming just because. Nonetheless, I think she might have prevailed because of the contrast in extent she will go for making this book worth a purchase, in the preceding months of promotional material from her photobook's official Twitter/X account. Even till the end, they have been showing offshots and actual images from the book itself on a daily basis, making me have to unfollow the account just so I can be less spoiled before I even take a look at the actual product itself. If you don't consider that as a problem though, I do. I just couldn't resist making the purchase just to support her. *laughs* You're welcome, Karin-chan.

Well, we aren't here for all of those other women besides the one, right? RIGHT?? *giggles* So, let's THROW them all out and talk about what Karin-chan has to offer!! *smiles*

But first! Just a smaller unboxing since I did one for the rest of the box, I just haven't took this out of the Amazon package yet hehe

Oh yeah, a bit about the title of her photobook. Karin-chan said on social media that the title was named after combing the words "watashi" and "meku" which was around the definition of "showing oneself" which can also symbolize her trying to reveal herself in a different light, and as you will see in a moment, this is rather true to an extent as she tries to challenge herself to display herself in a more matured light. And I really mean that by the way, not going to put disclaimers here (lol) but you have been warned from here on, she is going to show A LOT of skin she might as well be a gravure model now at this rate-

This is another travel-based photobook, no surprises there. What is surprising is how extreme this book went to display all of Karin-chan's beauty, and I cannot compliment her on that enough. In her Instagram live which she hasn't done in years and also on the release date with Lynn-san, she mentioned about how far she went in terms of making this her first yet likely boldest attempt (if you didn't know her, she is a shy person even when Lynn-san and I knew of her in 2017), promising swimsuits and lingerie and alluring shots, putting her above how far Lynn-san went (see photobook from last year) moving her up to the same level as Tomatsu Haruka with her photobook released back in 2015?? *OOF* Yeah, but this one has more substance HAHAHA- It's as the title of this review has stated: We all don't deserve this greatness, we really don't. But since she has chosen to take the first step, let us show her the way! By...

By showing you LESS of this book and showing you ALL THE DAMN PHOTOS they have officially shown online so that you can actually buy this book and not have to cry over my terrible phone camera and low resolution images meant to ensure you make the purchase. *giggles* But seriously though, you WILL buy this book after you've seen what I've seen. *giggles* LET'S DO THIS

So glad she didn't get that title, SO glad- We wouldn't have seen her in Anime and release this photobook. Think about it. *giggles*

*gets deja vu when Sakura Ayane showed so much of her front in an Instagram live people had to tell her*

Okay no no me come back here *laughs*

Damn, that was a lot of outfits shown inside out. *laughs* How is this so good and how are my pants wet, I will never know. *laughs* What I DO know is this book, despite feeling like it showed me lesser content than I thought (because of all the spoilers out there and not because less clothing, mind you) is still really impressive from what we knew of her as fans so far, and I cannot thank her enough for showing us her respectable curves. You don't need to do more of these, we have seen quite enough. *blessed*

What am I, her overprotective boyfriend? *giggles*

In general, I skipped some stuff that are dialogue-referencing where I couldn't translate to something simple to understand (she's like "feels like Isobe Karin-like" and I'm like I can't. *laughs* I also skipped a lot of examples and only talked about stuff I know to relate in order to make this sound more complete. Nonetheless, I don't think she has been more direct (or maybe it's the interviewer) in answering some of the questions and also, I guess they did not touch on the specific of the photobook but more on her character growth and personality, which if you are a fan you might have liked, but for me Karin-chan has always been weak in expressing herself back then, and she has definitely improved a lot nowadays, and that is just glad to see even if she doesn't show up a lot in the Anime industry per se. Still, now I can understand why she will respond to her fans on social media even if it's just liking their comments (as she has done on my Instagram comments hehe), because all of us made what she is now. Okay joke answer though, we didn't make her bangin' body haha she gotta grow that herself *dabs*

Phew, NOW summer can actually be over because seriously dude, the weather these days are so unbearable, we need that temperature drop soon haha I'M HOT TONIGHT Okay okay I better stop here I got a Google event to catch up in a bit- Or maybe not I already know what is happening and I can spend more time on this haha *dabs* Anything else outside of just ogling at the images I will do another day because next up, we got music to talk about! Don't miss a day of my blog for the rest of the week, yes? We have too much to talk about this one package, I'm glad this is all I have this time around lol KARIN-CHAN DAISUKI ❤️

P.S. I know I have a song playing telling me to "be myself" all this time and I know Karin-chan is trying to be herself but I can't be myself dude how can I ever going to confess to Karin-chan that I'M HORNY- (haha)

P.P.S. After reading the interview... I feel like we forced her to do this. Well, I didn't but someone did. WHO DID THIS- I mean, we can have a photobook less revealing and I would've loved it. Just... so you know of this, Karin-chan, you need not have gone this far. *giggles*
