Yakitate!! Japan

Tsukino Azusagawa

Okie dokie, this is the last set of photos I have yet to post. Today we’ll be featuring delicious Tsukino on the beaches of Phillip Island~

For those that don’t know, Yakitate!! Japan is an manga/anime about bread making…
Making bread may not seems so fun at first, but as with most manga/anime, it’ll make you want to become a baker in a moment’s notice.
Now to stop the urges of puns regarding Tsukino’s buns…

So without further delay, I present Tsukino~

Location

As mentioned, lovely Tsukino sits on the north beach of Phillip Island, an island popular for it’s resort houses and race track among other things. It sits about 60km away from central Melbourne, though getting there will be longer than that.

The beach has yellow sand and also some red rocky areas that houses an abundance of sealife. Behind the beach are shrubs and trees which hide the beach houses.

Setup

No need for tripod ^^
The day was a nice sunny beach weather one, slight cool breeze with minimal clouds in the sky.
There was a few people but none of them came to ask what I was doing.
FLIES, freaking flies, I had to keep shooing them away with my hand before a photo, since they love to land on Tsukino’s buns >.<

Figure

This is my only Yakitate!! Japan figure, and my only swimsuit one to boot (unless you count Mahou SHoujo Neko X…). I must say I’m pretty impressed by this figure, but I guess it isn’t a surprised since it’s a product of Alter. Saito Fumiko has done a excellent job on sculpting a sexy yet..innocent? pose with Tsukino; from her arm under her hair, the lean of her hips, the high position of the older shoulder and her frilly swimwear~

The paintjob is also nice, with only slight overpaint on the swimsuit frills if you look real real close. Her skin blush is also very nicely done.

Thoughts

Was a decent day shooting, with this batch of photos I had to make it a lil more bright as the originals were a lil bland. Overall I like the outcome, but what do you think?

Summary

Delicious? Lickable? Delectable? Whatever the description is, Tsukino is indeed an eye pleaser. I’m not a fan of swimsuit figures as I find them mostly boring, though this one did catch my eye, be it the look in her eyes, her pose or simply the low price lol. Whatever it is, I do recommend this to fans of swimsuits.
