The "240906" release of Shounen ga Otona ni Natta Natsu Vol. 1 is a masterpiece of idol photography. It manages to be nostalgic and fresh at the same time. It captures the specific humidity of a Japanese summer—the heat, the sweat, the cicadas, and the feeling that something is ending, but something beautiful is beginning.

If you are a fan of Yuki Kashiwagi, this is essential. If you are a fan of the art of photobooks, this is a masterclass in mood and lighting.

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) The summer may be over, but with this book on your shelf, it lasts forever.
