Weekly Playboy Extra - Spring Gravure Special 2026
Shueisha's quarterly mook anthology returns with its spring 2026 edition, featuring 12 models across 164 pages. The format—magazine-book hybrid priced accessibly—continues to function as an entry point for emerging talent.
This edition includes first major appearances for three models previously limited to web-only content. The mook format allows publishers to test market response before committing to full photobook production.
Coverage spans the expected range: swimwear, casual wear, and light lifestyle content. No single model dominates the page count, with relatively even distribution across the lineup.
Available at major bookstores and convenience stores from February 5th. No special editions announced.
Reception
The quarterly mook format continues to serve as a proving ground for emerging talent. This edition's lineup skews younger than previous years, with several models making their first major publication appearance. Production values are consistent with the series—nothing exceptional, but reliably competent. The value proposition remains strong for those tracking the gravure pipeline.
