In the latest issue of Hanako, the special feature titled "A Textbook for Learning That Opens Up Life" discusses various aspects such as working styles, health, financial habits, and disaster preparedness. The cover of this edition features Abe Ryohei, marking his fifth appearance on the magazine. Within the visually captivating pages dedicated to the theme "Abe's Spare Time," he is depicted engaging in studies during work breaks and travel.
In one striking scene during a notebook shoot, Abe surprised the staff by creating a crossword puzzle that began with his member color, "GREEN." As he shared his experience, he reflected, “In the past, I really made use of my spare time. I had no choice but to adapt to it. I would study during my commute, in between work tasks, and even in the car whenever I found a little time.” His dedication towards continuous learning is further highlighted by his frequent visits to bookstores, although he admits, “I often find myself gravitating toward the reference book section, even if I don’t plan on buying anything.”
Abe expressed his feelings on the abundance of information available today, stating, “I feel that having the time to read books nowadays is a luxury due to the overflow of information around us.” Additionally, he shared an interesting experience of studying live on Instagram, mentioning, “It was enjoyable to study while being viewed by everyone and receiving their comments.”

Among his adventures on the show, he is to visit a farm that cultivates Terute Hime, a super-fruit tomato known for its sweetness akin to strawberries. He will be taught how to identify high-sugar tomatoes and will help with the harvest.
