Seeing how profitable Blanc’s photo book was, over one million sold ^^, the gravure idol company I worked for decided another book of her should be made. So I called Blanc, I have her number ;p, and told her the good news. Blanc was excited but she said that she was too busy with her current gravure lifestyle, thanks to the photo book, with non-stop videos, photo shoots, etc that she wouldn’t have much time to take much photos. I was stunned by this, as I would have to face my boss and tell them the bad news, I was about to hang up when Blanc gave me another stunner. She tells me her friend, Ryuna, is available but a bit shy; she even tells me that she’s sexy and giggles afterwards. I ask her to give me Ryuna’s number so I can contact her. Once I received the number I proceeded to call Ryuna, I was pressing the number pad so fast on my cell phone that I feared I might break it as I tried to reach her.
After an intense ten seconds ;p, Ryuna picked up her phone. I explained to her the situation and she agreed to be the next gravure idol for our book, WOOOOT. Anyways, we agreed on a date when we would take the photos and I eagerly awaited until that day. When the day finally came, I wanted to see the “sexy” Ryuna but she was no where to be found. My thoughts were “OMG, she didn’t show. Maybe she forgot? I wonder why it itches “there?”" Suddenly I noticed something come out of the water, perhaps a beautiful mermaid or a alluring siren O_o?. Then my senses kicked in and I went up to her and asked if she was Ryuna which she responded with a “yes” and a cute smile.
“Sorry” Ryuna says. “I went out for a quick swim and thought I would be finished before you came. Let me change.” “No” I say, “what you’re wearing is perfect, lets get you dried off and we can begin.”
With Ryuna dried off, we start taking pictures of her from all angles.
We were about half way through when Ryuna looked up at something that caught her attention and started waving her arms around in the air and screaming with joy. (Note: picture was taken right before she started waving her arms around.)
Confused, I turned around to see what turned this seemingly calm girl into a screaming frenzy. It turned out that Blanc had come and I joined Ryuna in the screaming frenzy with a smile on my face. Blanc told me that she had sneaked away from her latest gravure video but knew the video company wouldn’t really care as long as it is finished and makes them lots of money, which it always does. She also told me that she wanted to be in the book as well with Ryuna and that she would work for free, which is great for me ^^.
Two cute and sexy women wanting to pose wanting to pose and they’re right in front of me, wonder’s just don’t cease for me. Blanc went to change into a bikini and when she came out of the dressing trailer I was surprised to find her in the original swimsuit that she had worn which started her career as a gravure idol. “It still fits ^_^,” Blanc says with a heart-melting smile. So with Blanc ready, we started the photo shoot again and ended up with a ton of sexy and cute photos (buy the photo book and you will get to see all of it lol.)
After the photo shoot, we were talking about something to do when something caught my eye. I noticed Ryuna was staring at Blanc and was wondering “What is she thinking about?”
As everyone was clearing away the photo equipment, I noticed Ryuna giving me a mischievous look. She had sneaked up on Blanc and had her hand near the bottom half of Blanc’s swimsuit. I don’t have to tell you what happened next, but you can tell me what you think happened by commenting ;p.

I have a strange mind lol, coming up with all these weird stories for things made out of pvc material. Well anyways, this figure shoot was special, as it is my first figure shoot consisting of two figures. I actually took these pictures this morning with the constantly fluctuating weather, for I had to wait out four hours of constant heavy rain that switched to light sunshine then back to rain before I could go out and take the pictures. Then about 20 minutes into figure shoot, it started raining a little hard so I decided I was done then four minutes later it became really sunny and the clouds started dissipating so I decided to take more pictures; I was actually glad as the pictures taken earlier weren’t as good as I had hoped they would be. There were strong winds though so holding the figures was must or else they would have dropped down, which still happened when I left them alone. T-T my poor Blanc, she had fallen from the ledge I was using and the area near her left elbow (I ps the area so it would be less noticeable when I made this post) now has a tiny dent and is a bit obvious; I’m thinking about leaving it alone for now. Lol, I should talk about Ryuna shouldn’t I? Well she is 1 of 4 Shining Tears characters in bikini’s, I own Blanc and Ryuna is actually my brothers. The big problem I had was a dent in her swimsuit which is very obvious, but can’t be helped with mass-production. Like the other character’s, her legs are very long and sleek which is very sexy, big plus. Her bust is quite…noticeable compared to Blanc’s but her pose isn’t as sexy as Blanc pushes her bust up with her arms folded underneath it. The hair is quite smooth with a good flow to it. The swimsuit is a bit plain compared to Blanc’s but still a swimsuit nonetheless which is nice. Her base is small, round, and has the look and feel of sand from the beach on the top to match the figure which is different because you normally get a plain colored and smooth base, so a plus there. Her face isn’t as seductive as Blanc’s but it does have it’s naughtier nature when I look at it from certain angles (take a look at my last two pictures for reference). Overall a nice figure to add to the collection and one that has made its mark on my blog.
Take a look at these other blogs that have also taken great pictures of these figures.










wow, nice photo shoot there. you do have a strange ming huh AS?(well, its not as weird as the person who did the bukkake figures^^)as for the continuation heres my version.(influenced by the epic yuri scenes from CLANNAD and Moyashimon)
Blanc: hey Ryuna, What are you doing??
Ryuna: oh come on, you know you want it.^^ AS went for a drink anyways, he wont be back for awhile..
(later some really loud moans could be heard from a seaside shack where AS conveniently placed hidden cams and nicrophones^^) LOL

Setsuna-san, I feel you’re even more perverted than AS by describing this in detail.
It was a given, but hey.
This would make some good doujinshi material, when you think of it, though. Wait, what am I saying? lol. Guess I was busted.
Nah, “Bukkake Guy” is sick in his own way. No one can compare to him. Or maybe there is worse, but I surely don’t want to hear about them.
AS, I agree on your opinions about Blanc and Ryuna. However a little part of me got a feeling they were not going to have “private time” together, but rather going to make a fool of you by plotting…
Sweet pics! I really like the shots you did =) I don’t really go for swimsuit figures much but if I had to choose, I would most probably go with Ryuna ^^ Guess I like the naughtier nature in the figure xD

Great photos there, I’ll have to head to the beach to do some figure photography during my holiday as I have some swimsuit figures in queue. Though one thing I found about photographing at the beach, it’ll always be windy, no matter what. Thus making it quite difficult in having the figure stand up right.

I can’t decide wether I’m pissed off at you for writing such a dorky story, or pissed off at myself for thinking the ending was totally hot. Damn you otakudom!!!

@Setsuna-san: I guess I do have a strange mind, but it isn’t on par with the bukkake guy lol. The thought of bukkake on my figures is “Guhhhhhhh” (In Guchuko’s voice) in my mind, its just a bit extreme for me. Btw, nice ending ;p.
@D_Blade: Fool me will they? They will pay (clench fist in air) ^^.
@Shinohai: Ryuna can be a “dirty girl,” don’t let her cute face fool you ;p.
@Adun: True, as I had to hold the figures for a couple of shots due to the strong winds. This was actually the first time I took 100+ pictures, good thing I have a digital camera lol.
@21st Century Digital Boy: Yes, the hotness rocks ;p.
:O very nice outdoor picture, I love them both, ryuna and blanc

@shinji: Hehe, making the stories is an interesting process as well. I don’t know why, but it just flows out when I think of something like this, no writer’s block yet.
@valho: That tiny bit of naughtiness makes all the difference ;p.
@Choo: Thanks but there is always room for improvement.
Life-like texture. ;_;
