[With 5 photo cards] GIRLS CONTINUE Vol.15 (Cover feature: Monaca)

Monaki: Cover & 30-Page Special Feature
Stunning Gravure & Many Projects Delving into Members' True Selves!

■Detailed Contents

『GIRLS CONTINUE』Vol.15 features a special on the four-member male group "Monaki", who are dominating the music scene and social media, on the cover and in the lead story. Coinciding with the release of 『Honmayade☆Nandeyanen☆Shirankedo Tsuigekiban』on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, we present a gravure photoshoot, a long roundtable discussion, handwritten profiles, a member voting project, and more, delving into the true selves and current status of the four members.

Plenty of content including gravure that highlights their natural beauty after shedding their jackets, handwritten profiles, and the "M(onaki)-1 Grand Prix" where their true selves are revealed through member voting!

The special feature will combine playful original projects with in-depth analysis, creating a voluminous feature that fully captures Monaki's charm from all angles.

The gravure photoshoot was conducted with the concept of "mythical beauty" to bring out Monaki's inherent "beauty" to the fullest. By shedding their jackets in their image colors and stripping away their iconic image, the result highlights the natural beauty of the four members. With powerful gazes looking forward, barefoot and stepping strongly on the earth, the photoshoot captures Monaki's current power and momentum with the beauty of a mythical painting.

In the long roundtable discussion, the four members will talk about the charms of the members they rediscovered through the campaign, future challenges, and the latest information about the new version to be released on July 29. They will share niche behind-the-scenes stories filled with the members' characters that can only be heard here, and discuss their journey so far and their future prospects from unique perspectives.

The pages will also be adorned with a rich variety of projects! In addition to profile sheets handwritten by the members themselves (with messages to members and "Monakama" fans ♡), we conducted a member questionnaire project called "M(onaki)-1 Grand Prix" (tentative title). The members selected "M-1" in 7 categories, such as "Who is the No. 1 member you'd like to switch places with for a day?". Along with their true selves behind the scenes and valuable episodes, we delve into the exquisite distance and bond between the members. This project also features plenty of new photos.

A two-fold poster from the photoshoot is also included as a bound-in supplement.

Furthermore, at QJ Store, we will be selling a limited edition set that includes 5 photo cards from the photoshoot (4 solo cards, 1 group card).

■"Monaki" Profile

A four-member male group produced by Kazuyoshi Sakai, leader of the popular mood-enka group "Junretsu." They made their major debut on April 8, 2026. Even before their debut, they had an explosive influence on social media, especially TikTok, with a flood of dance videos posted by users even before the official release of the sound source for their debut song "Honmayade☆Nandeyanen☆Shirankedo." The total number of SNS views has remarkably exceeded 800 million. This enthusiasm is also reflected in the numbers, with their debut single entering the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart at number 3 (number 1 in the Enka/Kayokyoku ranking). They are currently the most talked-about group, rapidly attracting attention from all directions.

Details of this book will be announced on the Ohta Publishing website and QJWeb
