The protagonist of this issue is the currently very active and highly popular active actress [Konno Hikaru]. [Konno Hikaru] was born in 1994 in Hokkaido, Japan. She made her official debut in 2013 as an exclusive actress for "kawaii*", and at the time, she was only 19 years old. With her cute doll-like face and C cup figure, if you just look at her photos, [Konno Hikaru] would easily be categorized as a loli type. But in reality, [Konno Hikaru] has a height of 165 cm, combining a loli face with a mature woman's body. This rare contrast creates an overwhelmingly shocking visual effect, which drew everyone's attention right from her debut. It's said that before her debut, [Konno Hikaru] worked at a cute girl bar, where she was already quite flirtatious, knowing how to seduce bosses and customers with games you'd only see in videos. As for her debut opportunity, she went along with a friend to an audition and was discovered by the staff, who then invited her to debut as well. Apparently, when she was told "We'll leave it to you" that day, she was startled, but since [Konno Hikaru] has a pretty easygoing personality and couldn't refuse when asked, she ended up debuting. Oh well, just take it as a fun story—it's not uncommon for someone to go with a friend to an audition and accidentally debut themselves. When it comes to her cute looks, [Konno Hikaru] has been luckier than many other actresses. In her second year after debuting, she got the chance to appear on TV variety shows, with one of the most talked-about being a web TV dating variety program called "Only Today, I Quit Being an AV Actress." The show features actresses spending two days and one night on a deserted island with men, dropping their actress personas to experience a normal romance. Maybe through this setup, we could get a glimpse of the real side of actresses. But unfortunately, as soon as they're in front of the camera, their professional habits as actresses kick in. Of course, [Konno Hikaru]'s performance on the show, showing that inner conflict of wanting to shine as an actress while also seeking happiness as a woman, was quite adorable. I'd recommend it even to those who aren't her fans. After leaving her "kawaii*" exclusive status, [Konno Hikaru] transitioned to independent projects, trying out various types of works. As an anime fan, she took on a lot of unique films, including some pretty intense ones. Whether she's the one dishing out the punishment or receiving it, she pulls it off excellently. But despite seeming both sexy and perverted, [Konno Hikaru] has one type of film she absolutely won't do: anything involving the anus, and her reason is hemorrhoids—she's apparently the type who's prone to them. Well, actresses are human too, after all. As for [Konno Hikaru]'s first experience, it happened when she was 14, when she set her sights on a boy from another class who'd already lost his innocence, thinking it would be a reassuring first time. But turns out, he was not only "quick" but also "small," which left her first experience full of regrets. Although before turning 19 and debuting, [Konno Hikaru] dated 11 boyfriends and had over 50 partners, she secretly set a rule that any guy she dates has to "connect" first, deciding based on size whether they're boyfriend material. This is probably a shadow from her first experience. [KONNO Hikaru] has been in the industry for 9 years now, and she's still extremely active. In fact, at the 2018 industry selection meeting, she was extended olive branches by three well-known dark directors hoping to collaborate—that's a dream treatment for many women, showing just how highly regarded her skills are in the industry. We hope that in 2022, she continues to shine brightly while challenging more roles, using her perversion and cuteness to heal everyone's minds and bodies.
