I realy didn't like her when she was younger but now she grew up to be very pretty

I noticed her because I've always thought she wasn't 100% Japanese, and therefore was sticking out toward the other, and I noticed her with the Hone Hone stuff with Ono, Itano & Masuyama.
I've always find her cute but when she debuted she had some strange haircuts.

She's not good without her bangs, her forehead looks like it's a bump or something.

And indeed she is growing very cute, but's it's a pity we don't see her that much
Only participated to BINGO!
Therefore I don't know her voice.

Well she is one of my favorite Team K member!
her voice sounds great! and I think she got more attention after kayano granduated!
I´ve heard her sining with Ono-chan at a Stage concert from team B both sang Honewaltz!

You think so? I have the feeling that since Kayano had graduated there's only Erena that stands out.
However when she appeared on BINGO! I thought she would be part of the average AKB48 formation. But eventually she was left out for the other singles

Maybe because of her age... she´s to young for some songs... like seifuku ga jama wo suru... But I think after kayano left she´s more in magazines...

Pics from Manami-chan:

Manami looks more caucasian than asian I think
I do wonder if she speaks other languages than japanese!

And you're right! What I like in AKB48, it's that they don't make youngest girls do things too mature or dealing with adult/ teenage stuff
However Tomomi Itano has done Hone Hone Waltz, but she's better in the sexy rocky style as she was performing in Faint or Confession

Maybe... Manami looks a bit like my neighbour but just a bit...

Yes! that´s what I like in AKB48, too... Sure does Tomomi Itano Hone waltz and Faint... but if manami would do the song faint, I´m not sure if I would like it... cause she´s 12 and that´s to young... Itano was 14 (?)... and that´s nearly okay... or was she 15? I think 14... whatever... that are two years!

Little Princess

I like the hairstyle not so waveless...

I think as she's part caucasian wavey hairstyles suits her well.
She looks a bit strange with perfect straight hair (as in SETLIST album's cover )

yeah! She look so young with the straight hair... okay she is so young

new profil pic

cute but she looks the same

She still looks childish to me but her eyes look more "bright"
