2024 Debut Review - Marina Yakuno

Marina is the sort of girl next door actress we all want to love. Perhaps a bit rough around the edges but hopefully much more to enjoy under the covers. She's the kind of girl you come to quite enjoy because she looks very approachable as opposed to being the bombshell so many actresses are. Debuting for a major studio like Idea Pocket was obviously a great sign and visually she does match the aesthetic for them.

Facially I enjoyed Marina. She has a couple of beauty marks on her face, most notably one on the corner of her left eye and one on her right cheek. I find them to add to her more girl next door type of charm. I never looked at her and went "wow holy moly is she pretty" but at the same time there was a certain charm to her. The more I kept looking at her content the more I kept thinking there was good stuff there, and I think she grew on me quite a bit.

Marina's boobs were just okay. 92H is a good size and matches that of quite a few recent debuts like Erika Ichigo, Sayaka Nito, and Unpai. I found Marina's boobs had a distinctive shape that wasn't all that pleasant. They were pretty saggy, uncharacteristically so for someone her age, and also leaned off to the side a decent amount. As a result I found in some positions they looked pretty mediocre while in some they were pretty solid. I think when hanging they looked best and on her back they looked worst. It's not that I dislike boobs that are saggy or have unique shapes but this exact combination was very underwhelming.

Marina's ass was not particularly pleasant. Very small and just not really much of anything going on there.

Marina's performing came off as cute and endearing which I think suited her look quite nicely. There were a lot of moments where she would just rapidly peck him and despite it not being the deep, passionate style that I tend to prefer, I found it rather pleasant as a whole. I think her being excited about just kissing him with her little mannerisms went a long way to the personality. Especially with her GND aesthetic the idea of her being excited to be with you (instead of the other way around) was pleasing. There were also moments she would pull him in to kiss her or whisper daisuki (I love you) in his ear as she held on for dear life. These kept the performance feeling both lighthearted and passionate simultaneously.

I also found myself enjoying her paizuri, which was surprisingly solid. Her boobs aren't the crazy size we've seen from plenty of recent debuts but she knew how to make paizuri work better than quite a few who are bustier than her.

I found one of the real stand out qualities was how much eye contact she maintained. Even when getting pounded and moaning wildly, even while holding back her orgasm, she was able to maintain that eye contact. It's not a thing you see as often as you would like and I think it tied the performing together with the plot where she felt loving and caring the way you would hope your new girlfriend would.

Itokun finally has a girlfriend, wow! She's a little plain but she's kind and loving and that's what matters. When the two of them are back at his place they start making love and he finds out she has H cup tits. What amazing luck Ito has! That makes him love her even more and the two wind up having sex all day and night long.

I've come to quite enjoy these kind of girlfriend experience films. Even if they are somewhat timid and generic on the content side they manage to go over well. I think a lot of that comes from actresses doing it justice and quite a few of them have managed to figure it out, Marina being one of those. I find new debuts are often able to capture the essence of what makes these nice as you want some of that shy and embarrassed personality to shine through. You could do styles where your girlfriend is secretly a pornstar but the vibe would be so much different. Seeing Marina casually initiate sex or be loving for her new boyfriend was nice. The mannerisms as she really seemed to enjoy herself were absolutely wonderful, better than I could have asked for and a real treat. Even if all the action was on the couch or bed save for a bath together it was still plenty enjoyable because of the personality.

Marina's career has been going excellently. She's gotten herself some decent enough films that include a couple of image videos for Spice Visual and Fair & Way. While she hasn't quite had much in the drama department yet, a bunny outfit one is definitely a great sign and I think suits her more playful character. She's also gotten the opportunity to go to TRE which is always a great experience for newcomers.

Her first VR film also came out already, which I think might not be so bad. Since Marina seems to do well with these more lighthearted girlfriend experience videos, the more simplistic VR that gives her that opportunity is likely quite nice for what it is.

All things considered I do have some decent hopes for her. When I look at her my mind immediately goes to Erika Ichigo from last year. Erika is a little prettier and her boobs are a little nicer but Marina outperforms her by a lot. Especially as I've seen more than one Erika video, the more endearing personality of Marina shines a lot over Erika's stoicism. I feel like I'm placing a lot in Marina's personality shining but it worked so well and has me rightfully excited. Considering how good she is just three videos in I wouldn't be surprised if she blossomed into a wonderful performer. And honestly, I find Marina's charm quite appealing and she really hits home nicely on the girl next door vibe. Especially debuting at her age, I feel like we have a lot of years ahead of us with that look that will serve her well.

This year I am doing 31 debut reviews, one each day in December. Make sure to come back tomorrow to see the next one! If you want to see which actresses I've reviewed so far, check out my advent calendar post.
