:laugh Lol let's just blame Leslie for the divorce then

Super Ayu could very well be just as, er, "raunchy" as Super Mannie. Perhaps that's why it was not sold, and just given to friends or something. Its very odd, really.

Also, regarding to Mannie being a model, should he have done Super Mannie, I feel like, Mannie and Leslie would be more like friends than photographer and model. More like, it just so happens that friends fit that role. So, I don't think that Leslie would be making Mannie do things that he is uncomfortable with because he's a model. Therefore, I think the whole "they got divorced because Super Mannie made Mannie uncomfortable" is BS.

I doubt it. It was a surprise gift to her with 500 copies. Even if she did private photos I don't think she would risk 500 copies being out there, plus it wouldn't have been a surprise. Besides look at the Super books of his female models and Lady Gaga, none of them were like the male model books.

Leslie got Mannie do the phtoshoot and turns out Mannie is actually gay, so they got together and bam, Ayu decided to let the poor soul who finally found his real self, go....:D

Even if ayu did fabricate a story about the reason for the divorce...oh well. She's not obligated to reveal every detail of her life to the public. And she has always been a private person.

(Except for that time that she showed her cooch to everyone while filming kanariya...lmao)

^ LOL WHAT. What is this about kanariya? o.o

Also, I agree that the Super Mannie photobook is awkward and gross looking. But I seriously doubt that was a factor in the divorce, but who knows. It seems like a really petty reason, but that's just MY opinion.

I really do feel the physical distance between Ayu and Mannie was the main factor...

No way Super Manuel played a role in the divorce.

It was shot by one of Ayu's close friends, and if we know one thing for sure, Ayu loves everything that her friends do, even if it's not best for her overall image and performance quality xD

Many fans are of the opinion Peco and Princess should go so Ayu can find her backup singers but they're still here. Lots of people want Kazu to disappear altogether but he'll be around to shoot more album covers....lol

While I do agree that Ayu isn't really obliged to tell us everything, if she is lying, using the earthquake as part of the lie would be pretty tasteless.

^^I'll give you that. Which makes me believe that she really isn't lying at all.

I dont think she thought that people would take it that way though. I figured she was making it sound like she was being patriotic and prioritizing Japan over herself.

I didnt even think about it as an excuse until the media started saying ****...

Anyway tbh, for me, she's either really dumb and made some bad decisions...or some of her story is bs...

Maybe its both, she'll never say, and really it doesnt matter what she says. If this is what she wants, this is what she wants.

I thought it sounded more like someone else at Avex wrote the press release myself. It wasn't worded quite like she says things normally on TA or Twitter.

Well idk, I'll leave that up for you guys to decide. I dont pay enough attention to her messages.

Did I already read that their divorce is finalized? Can't seem to find it, but I thought I read it earlier.

One of the news reports said it was, may have been in the works longer than her press release said too.

i don't see Mannie as a good model at all and that photobook lies between porn and modeling work which is awful...

and obviously leslie kee is not as professional and tasteful as i imagined...kinda off topic

oh well, i hope ayu finds someone who deserves her...i'm still hoping she could be back together with nagase tomoya...they make a cute couple

we will not got the real reason from ayu....
Ayu use that reason just to make her fans calm down and not bashing mannie....

Maybe the real reason is to private, so ayu cant tell the public....

But i do think that super manuel play a bit role about their divorce...
If they only want to make it as a gift for Ayu, they will not sell that kind of pictures to everyone, although its limited...

Almost all the pictures on super manuel should be private....

^You have seen them all?

I only saw one, which makes me feel uncomfortable even though I am not his wife...

^You can find the scans posted somewhere on the Super Ayu thread.

Its interesting what makes people uncomfortable...
