:yes

I think, she's not really mean to pointed the finger. She just wanna pointing at something and at the same time holding the fan. so, the middle finger is used. I can't find that it's her habit or meant for anything.

I didn't even noticed the finger the first thing I noticed was her face...I thought something terrible might have happened that day xD

yeah same here :P

nwy,never saw this pic,but i dont think she means anything with that or otherwise if it not an accident then Ayu should aware of the culture outside of Japan next time :yes

yeah... i have it.. :D

I think it means nothing at all. Like I said in my last post, Japanese people use the middle finger a lot to point at things.
I don't know, if it has another meaning.

There's like, a lot of mixed answers in there lol.

BUT, I don't think it means the same thing...I need to ask my friend.

LOL, of course the middle finger means exactly the same thing like here.
i know that from actually seeing people doing it there, when i was on vacation in japan (not to me though, lol) and also, i remember seeing it a couple of times in the manga, ranma 1/2.

the japanese are not clueless.

Her expression is just hilarious; I can't get over that lol

I'm sure Ayu and other Japanese knows it they're not dumb but that aside they're not making a big fuss about it.

The middle finger only means something when you want to put some meaning into it.

She's too innocent to know the meaning XD *ok joke*
