INFORMATION
Chinese model brand HanaBee has obtained authorization from Kodansha and released two new products based on the popular animation "Young and Dancing" on its official Weibo account - 1/7 scale painted finished products of "Iwakura Mitsumi" and "Shima Sosuke". The reference retail price is RMB 399 each and is expected to be released in October 2025!
"Youth in Motion" is a manga serialized by Misaki Takamatsu in "Monthly Afternoon" since 2018. It was adapted into a TV animation by PA Works in 2023. It tells the story of Mitsu Iwakura, a girl who went to Tokyo alone from a remote town in Ishikawa Prefecture to attend high school. She was not helped by Sosuke Shima, a native boy from Tokyo, and her daily life working hard at school with other classmates.
The two 1/7 scale painted finished products feature the two people wearing Yanxi High School uniforms. Shima-kun is about 30 cm tall, and he was created in a dynamic state of holding up a transparent umbrella. Mitsumi is about 23 cm tall, and she was made in a posture of preparing to open a red umbrella. The delicate carving shows the wrinkled details on the uniforms of the two people, and the panda pendant on Mitsumi's schoolbag is also delicately reproduced! The base is made in the shape of a wooden floor, and the two pieces can be combined through a card shield structure, presenting a cute scene like a rainy afternoon when two people are preparing to go home together under an umbrella!
