Sena Jun – Words for the Day: Chapters 23 and 24

This photo and essay book was written by Moon Troupe Top Star Sena Jun and published during promotions for the 2008 show ME AND MY GIRL, where Top Musumeyaku Ayano Kanami retired. It’s very charming and occasionally emotional.

Some chapters are very short, or contain only pictures, and thus are combined.

The book also featured dual Japanese and English chapter titles, which were not always the same. Where these differ, both are included, with the translation of the Japanese title following in brackets. (For example, Chapter 8 is That time [The era of Asa and Osako])

This is the last section of Words for the Day! Friday book chapters will be going on hiatus until I start posting Berubara and I in January 2022.
