For those who don't know, Ayabuki Mao, Yukigumi's stalwart Nibante, is retiring next year.

This one came as a shock to me. I've been expecting Mizu Natsuki to retire in the coming year, but since I don't tend towards the grapevine, this came out of the blue. I don't know if there's a rule of age or however-many-ken not being Top Star, but Yumiko's been a solid Nibante for almost 7 years, with Osa and now, Mizu.

Maybe she didn't want Top. Maybe she did. I suspect not, because she left Flower when she was all but due to be top there. All the same, I wish she was staying, even if it was only as Senka. I'll miss her smile and her dimples, and will watch for her future career very eagerly.
