^I laughed ...

There's a photo of his anus opening but I'm not posting it here

My mom was sitting behind me when I opened those pictures... :weep

I just find it hilarious that they made more than 1 Super Manuel and they're selling it lol

Who in the world is going to buy it? :laugh

He's hot, but...idk he just makes himself unattractive sometimes. Just a vibe he gives off from his expressions or poses every now and then lol

oh god...just like in all of those pictures. Does he HAVE to be looking at the camera like that so much? Opposite of sexy.

are you posting more pictures somewhere else? :3 mannie is hot to me XP

Wouldn't buy the mannie book, because I don't find him attractive. I don't particularly trust him, but nobody knows. him and ayu might stay together and be happy for a long time.

It looks kinda gross.

oh God :thud

Ditto

Oh, Mannie... no... :no

I wonder how ayu feels about this =.=

^Probably REALLY happy! :D

I want more Mannie pics <3

Idk...I don't think I'd want naked pics of my husband to be released publicly LOL

Pics or it didn't happen.

Exactly! He was a nobody before he married Ayu, and probably still is. Heck even Leslie couldn't make him look good so they had to resort to pornography lol

Anyway... that is a gift from him to ayu right? So he does that just for ayu, although everyone can see that... I'm trying to understand everything in a positive way... @_@

you guys are mean lol I've seen much uglier =X

same! >.<

People are acting like there were explicit sex on the book or something xD It's just some nudity... I don't think Ayu would find it bad considering the is most likelly the jpop star with the most number of nude shots ever (or does Koda has more? Ayu would still get 2nd anyway...)

does koda have more than the awful one from 12 singles?

in any case, lol I doubt Ayu would care a thing about nudity. She would probably suggest more.

yeah me too.. especially if I was a super-star :thud

and I don't understand why do they sell it!!! it's so strange... it was called a "present for ayu" isn't it? :shakehead

why won't they sell SUPER AYU instead of SUPER MANUEL.... gosh

by trade, he is a model.

by trade, leslie is a photographer.

nothing they are doing is weird.

this is nothing different than anything else that leslie has shot.

in fact, the majority of leslie's work is nude. especially the work he has done with men.

^^i agree. i still don't care to see it lol

LOL I want to see other pages :lech

WOW!! (☆▽☆) it's like Mannie Naked Talk!
He's very sexy imo!
And that pose of him in the bathtub, it's intentionally got censored on "that" part or somebody edited it?

Yea I don't find anything wrong with Mannie's pics.
He's a model afterall.
And ayu also did almost the same thing with naked talk right? She just covered herself using fur blanket.

I'm sure in the book it's not censored ^^

^ wahaha lol.. i can't imagine the uncensored one lols..

I can... :lech

Well, I'm not into Koda's career, so I really don't know... But from the top of my mind Ayu was naked at least in 2 album shots, 1 maganize shot and 1 CM... probably more than that and I can't remember...

Ayu has never been completely naked though, only topless.

OMG! I can't take to see that censored part!!! hahaha.

Ayu must really happy about SUPER MANUEL thing!

It looks like Mannie is wearing eyeliner. Not sure I like that.

she was on Rainbow cover

i don't find manuel is hot or even attractive at all in those two pics !

how come ayu like such a hairy man ? is Tomoya Nagase the same type ?

no idea

really people, we need to stop this theme
there is no man on earth who would be attractive for everybody

I forgot about that, lol. But do we really know that for sure? She could have been wearing shorts and a strapless shirt.

^^This.

I actually like the idea of the book. Seems like Ayumi does too, so who are we to judge?

^She confirmed she was totally naked on some Rainbow interviews...

and there's a CM where you can see her butt :P

naked Ayu :lech

^^ I think I blocked that from my memory, too. :weep

^ I don't really consider that naked since... she might as well be wearing that rugblanketcarpetthing.

lol that was obviously not her butt xD

In the advert didn't she say it wasn't her rear they showed? :(

wahaha you pervy thought, Brian!! :mischief:mischief

ah mannie and ayu did the same thing, they didn't really show anything obviously LOLS..unless we got to see the uncensored pic lmao~

see ayu's 3rd pic of the naked talk, for a bit more, we could almost see the nipple XDD

Being or not being her butt... It was edited to look like it was, so, I can't see the difference :P

Even if it wasn't her body, she had no problem about shotting a CM that represented her naked body^^

^ but it's still not hers. I want to see Ayu's ;p

I heard from a reliable source that Manni has finally an employment as cleaning man at Avex Offices, Tokyo.

I read it not so far ago ^^ http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95849
She was totally naked, but only Leslie saw her

i just found this ...

Why oh why would anyone ever take a photo of someone's ANUS?! That is not art, that is an ANUS! I hope he showered first.

I feel ill. However, I would like to see the uncensored photos XD any scans?

Oh, I've read that interview before. I must have forgotten. :tipsy

I think she meant that Leslie was the only man who saw her, not the only person, though.

i think he was joking...

oh god, thank you Brian!! lol

i hope mannie or ayu's staff would post some pics from the inside of SUPER AYU~

damn, they promised that job to shuya!

O...M...G...
Sorry, but DAMN! Mannie is hot. Say what you want about him, bash or whatever, that's your opinion, but Ayu made an awesome choice when she picked Mannie. xD
I wish I could afford to buy this...I want to see the uncensored pictures. :roflmao

I would definitely love to have that massive photo in my room! So beautiful!

LOL the 1st pic of mannie is so funny..
he looks like crazy man lmaooo...
thanks for sharing.
but love the 2nd and 3rd.

^ any long haired caucasian man with beard will most likely look like jesus :D

anybody want's Super Mannie autographed by Mannie and sold by Mannie itself?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Manuel...3&cmd=ViewItem

(source : Mannie's Twitter)

Are you kidding me? That is so tacky... Um, now this really looks bad for his rep and everyone's opinion on him...

my opinion didn't change =)

^Neither did mine^^

I went to the exhibition today and it was so...boring haha.

Like, there were barely any pictures on the walls. Probably a total of 10? And none of Mannie's were there.

However, I was able to look through some of the books. One of them had very, very graphic male nudity, almost pornographic. (And it was not the "Super Pornstar" one). So Mannie's could very well have pictures of his, uh, "bum," as previously stated on this thread, as the book I looked at had plenty of that stuff being shown.

BTW, there's kind of like a new version of LOVE & HOPE with Ayu on both the back and front, the back being FIVE's cover, and there's a kind of history of Ayu's shots with Leslie as well as the FIVE booklet photos and WWD shots.

I think that was the "FIVE" photobook that was sold during the HK exhibitions.

About the SUPER MANUEL copy of eBay, I don't think it's all that crazy. He's allowing someone to get a copy of the book! I wonder if anyone's going to get it though...

I know this is going to sound bad, and no one hate me but...every time I see a picture of Mannie he looks more and more disgusting. If I saw him on the street I'd either think him a drug dealer, hobo, or pimp. : /

lol you guys are so mean to him

^srsly. :laugh

such is life for long haired and bearded men :laugh. They can easily looking like drug dealers or like that-guy-of 2000 years old.

Tbh I find Mannie.. interesting? :rolleyes lol I mean he's handsome but I'm not so attracted by models.

LOL I want the Super Mannie one... Of course I'd rather have the Super Ayu, but after those teasers, a Mannie one wouldn't hurt. :P

I think that's lame too actually. But if he sells enough of them hopefully we wont ever see him in another Ayu PV *prays very hard*

Wow. Call me a prude, but no matter how much I loved an actor or singer I never ever thought about wanting to see their privates. I guess only the Ayu book is what would be considered classy photography...

Ok so I met Leslie Kee yesterday :)

I was able to purchase Super Manuel as well :) There's no nudity in it. Everything is covered. You see his butt, but you see that on American TV now haha.

It was tastefully done. :) I also got it signed by Leslie as well. (Well it's not mine, I bought it for my friend, as I don't really want it...) haha But I got a picture with Leslie and got to talk to him for a bit. It's interesting, though. They "sold out" of the Super Manuel photo book at the Roppongi art exhibition, but then they were selling them in Tokyo's gay district. [That's where I had to go for the book signing]

^wow, congratulations!

lol and here I was expecting to see EVERYTHING :laugh

It's all very good that the photobooks were selling as well~~

Does the Super Ayu book have graphic pictures too? o.o or is it just the Super Mannie one that does?

I too am slightly curious (don't judge me).

ayu likes it big. and I can see that in the pic. kthxbai :p

^Hahaha :laugh I can see that too :P

I always thought he was diguisting.
******* yeah ;)
Leslie can make anyone so gorgeous. but it's just a fail.
honestly.at least Nagase was attractive. like, really, and he had a hot body too, like really. just google it.

I just don't understand why people can accept KuuxKenji but AyuxMannie :shrug

why don't we leave koda out of the Ayu section~~

^I just wondering. It's not like I wanna bring Kuu up. I am sorry, if mentioning Kuu is disturbing.

I don't really have a problem with Mannie. He's married to Ayu not me and thank god I don't wake up next to him or I'll be really scared (I'm kidding I don't think he's that ugly. I've seen far worse))

No worries hunny :)

Am I just late, or has everyone always hated Mannie?

idk there were always people who didnt think he was attractive since the start...

but I think people have deeper issues :think

Ignore them. I think he's great!

Well it's not like I disapprove and wish them the worst. It's just kind of like "...Really? ... Um, ... wtf."

I cannot see why people have problems with Mannie? Is it jealousy or something?

And about the signed ebay photobook, I think it's kinda cheap too.

I wouldn't call it jealousy. I mean, if she were with a better looking guy I think a lot of us would be in less shock. I think it's just like "Wow, she could do so much better but she graces her beauty with him?" Happiness is what matters but Ayu is the most gorgeous woman on the planet imo, she deserves the most gorgeous man.

Whats pretty for you
its not pretty for me.
It's kinda subjective thing and it's also a matter of
opinion
If he is a good guy it's all that matters
Spread ManniexAyu LOVE !!!!

Mannie is not my type of guy but I think he's a nice guy and it seems that he makes Ayu really happy. So I don't think too much about him.

Mannie may not have the most gorgeous look, but he probably has the most gorgeous heart in Ayu's eyes. who knows? no one knows, except Ayu and the people who have ACTUALLY met Mannie before.

this

It might sounds generic and cheesy, but it's true.
Maybe Mannie looks like the most handsome man on Earth for Ayu :shrug we cannot complain about her taste on men.

Seriously guys, we should be happy for Ayu because she found someone special instead of call Mannie a disgusting hobo.
