- Maki Horikita turns 25 on October 6, 2013. It has been five years since the release of her photobook *S* when she was 20. In the interim, she has starred in numerous films and TV dramas, cementing her status as a beloved national actress—a reputation solidified by her lead role in the 2012 NHK serial drama *Ume-chan Sensei*. *Dramatic* is a "memorial book for her 25th year" that fully captures the allure of Horikita, currently one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry.
- The book is divided into two sections: 120 pages of newly shot photographs taken on location overseas, and "Horikita Chronicle"—a text-based section featuring her own reflections on her career spanning 12 years, cooking recipes, glimpses into her private life (including her room), and answers to 100 questions submitted by fans. It concludes with a handwritten message, making it a must-have item for fans.
- The photography section was shot in Palm Springs and San Francisco on the US West Coast. Amidst magnificent natural scenery, the photos offer glimpses of her true self—revealing innocent smiles and relaxed expressions—while the urban shoots showcase a more mature side, featuring sultry gazes and poses. In shots wearing pure-style lingerie or daringly cut dresses, her toned abs, back, and beautifully defined waistline leave a striking impression. The book is overflowing with the authentic, true-to-life charm of Maki Horikita at age 25.
