    But she said she would graduate at the age of 46.

    Since they announced this before the 32 single it should mean no center for Manatsu. I thought it would be good business sense to make the last Gen1 member center the last single of the original members.

    For me, Manatsu was the funny gen 1 member who played a character that had delusions that she is the cutest Idol and that all people love her. The stick that Manatsu and Shiraishi Mai had was really funny.

    Nogizaka46 first gen was special. They took nothing and in just 5 years passed 1 million singles with Sayonara No imi. Manatsu played an important part in this growth. Good luck to her and all best wishes.

    I thought akimoto would graduate first before asuka but it wasn't i guess what she did is as a captain and also a 1st gen is to see all 1st gen to graduate first before she leave.

    Anyways congrats on graduation
    Hope there will be a time of a reunions of members or they could be a guest in nogichuu from time to time

    A few more cuts from the photobook

    A pink lingerie cut has been released from the graduation commemorative photo book "Looking back, Nogizaka" (released on February 21 / Gentosha) by Manatsu Akimoto (29), who will graduate from the idol group Nogizaka 46 on February 26th .

    The lingerie cut, which has been lifted for the first time, was shot at "Hoshinoya Fuji" in Lake Kawaguchi. Wearing pale pink lingerie, it is a piece full of cuteness that leans against the wall and stares at it.

    Back covers of the photo book

    Manatsu Akimoto (29), who graduated from the idol group Nogizaka46 on February 26, has released four back covers from the graduation photo book "Look back, Nogizaka" (released on the 21st / Gentosha).

    In the regular version, Akimoto wrapped in a pink fluffy knit shows a cute expression and shows off his belly button. The Seven Net limited edition is a cut with a relaxed expression drinking coffee in front of the fireplace. In addition, the Rakuten Books limited edition is a cut wearing AmiAmi knit, and a piece with an impressive Akimoto-like smile. And the Kinokuniya Limited Edition is a cut that shows off a classical coordination at the retro entrance.

    At Akimoto's request, the panel for the exhibition was created with a lot of other cuts that are not published in the photo book.

    We know it will be more easy for future collaboration with Nogi after grad if she stays at the llc but I'm glad she decided to join a different agency as we know how slow the llc connecting jobs to them.
    Manatsu are very talented, wishing the best for her future and JME bringing lots of jobs.

    Manatsu Akimoto to appear in serial drama for the first time after graduating from Nogizaka46

    NTV's new Wednesday drama "Isn't that a pakuri?" The keyword is "ripoff"!? Can the employees protect the "rights (intellectual property rights)" that can be the treasure of the company!? It is a new era intellectual property entertainment drama in which Daiki Shigeoka (Johnny's WEST) plays the role of Masami Kitawak

    Regarding her first drama appearance after graduating from a group activity that has been running for 11 years, Akimoto said, "Now that I have graduated from the group and made a new start, I am very happy to be able to experience acting like this. I myself would like to liven up the work while feeling the bond with the important friends around me.”

    She will be in Bouken Shounen SP on 8th May, racing to escape from an uninhabited island after spending a night there, up against comedians Kojima Yoshio and Sunshine Ikezaki . it involves survival skills such as getting own shelter, food and water, building a boat and rowing it to the goal, at times there would be 'bonus chances' to get some items, and sometimes the participants buy/bring their own barebones stuffs there. but could be quite interesting to see how the 'bad at sports' Manatsu do at this

    Story in Pop'n'Roll (with some of the same images)

    The first challenger this time is Manatsu Akimoto, who just graduated from Nogizaka46 in February this year. Akimoto, who led the group as a captain during the Nogizaka46 era, threw off her idol shell and challenged her first survival location. The theme of her escape that Akimoto advocates is "a new step". After graduating from Nogizaka46, she wanted to take on a new challenge, and she thought that "Escape Island" would be perfect for her, so she decided to participate. Even after arriving on the island, she shows off her cheerfulness and innocence as an “idol”. Akimoto's character is fully revealed even in her first challenge of filtering water. She likens the filtering device to Nogizaka46 members, and created five filtering devices by changing the proportions of stones, sand, and towels put in the device according to the member's personality and characteristics. The “Nogi Filtration SHOW” will be held to see which filtration device can clean the water the best!? Akimoto reaches a turning point in her life, turning 30 this year. Will she be able to safely escape from this "escape island" that is full of her first experiences?
