LOL isn't that Mannie too? xDDDDDDDD

I just love that picture of Ayu! Best cover!

Must buy those ALL. LOL

That's a pleasant surprise! Any idea where these will be sold? I hope Yesasia et al will be able to stock them.

^ I hope YesAsia will sell it too, but I'm not sure. His Super Lady Gaga book was really limited edition, so I hope Ayu's won't be the same. :/

I love that Leslie did one with Mannie as well. Now I want both of them. :)

SUPER AYU（限定500册、非卖品）= 500 COPIES LIMITED! NOT FOR SALE
so I don't think it's easy to get one of them lol

LOL for Mannie :laugh

why Ayu is beside Gaga :P

what are they??? Posters?

Wow, that's not a lot of copies at all. :no

Photobooks ^^

^
really??? Thanks^^ want them =)

who are the boys over mannie?

Hey, there's Mannie too! :laugh too bad there are just 500 copies of them D: aww

Thanks a lot for sharing though :yes

I want one! >_<

#sadTrombone

Oh that's not cool. XD
Thanks for the translation.

Damn I love that Ayu cover. It makes me want to buy FIVE...and then I remember the music and that thought dies. The Mannie cover is awful, if Leslie Kee can't manage to make him look good then....

It was probably a book for her party post-POWER of MUSIC.

The one he did with GaGa was available via mailorder.

lol did i see a SUPER PORNSTAR above Lady GaGa?

Big suprise that there is super manuel...LOL..really random...

why isn't it for sale ~.~

LMAO The one beside Mannie is SUPER PORNSTAR. That's amazing.

If it's not for sale then how do we get it? D:

thats gorgeous *-*

Mannie looks awkward in that pose...

^ I think anyone will look awkward like that. The post is weird to me lol

Anyway,

According to LESLIE on his twitter:
"「SUPER MANUEL」for SALE from 25 Nov ★「SUPER AYU」NOT for SALE"
It's not for sale because it's a present especially to Ayu from Leslie and Ryan.
But you can buy Mannie's book for 6300 yen.

if they don't sell it then why advertise it? -.-

ugh ugh ugh...just teasing me with things i can't have. :(

Interesting!

I want Super Ayu and Super Mannie

Is it just me, or does he have really small pupils? haha

I think I actually like that Ayu's isn't for sale. Otherwise I would feel obligated to try and buy it. The less things for me to buy now the better.

But I may go to the exhibition / reception party on Friday. I first thought it started early, but since it's from 7 PM to 10 PM I could possibly go, depending on if I finish my schoolwork in time.

am I the only one unimpressed with his photography, like really unimpressed well okay

at least Ayu looks good,that is all that matters right...kthx

I will not buy SUPER MANUEL if I can't have SUPER AYU. They should release it as a set. XD

Finally we can see mannie, it's mean that their relationship still going on

Looks a little less awkward when up close. :laugh

Mannie is wearing his wedding ring. :love

I wonder how ayu feels about this present :laugh

Only 100 copies? I guess she'll give copies to staff and friends, would be cool if they did a contest on TeamAyu to win a copy or a prize draw for those that buy the new album...

wow so sweet Leslie

nice present! I'm sure it's a compilation of all pics he take of her since they started to work together.
thanks for sharing. If someone buy the Mannie one, I'll be happy to see scan of inside pics. ^^

Since SUPER AYU is not for sale, I'm imagining something dirty in the photobook :laugh

wooow. that is really limited only 500 copies. Mannie really needs to chop off his hair...

I am sorry but Mannie is just not attractive. It baffles me that someone as unbelievably gorgeous as Ayu is married to him. Lol.

+1 Zeke! I don't think he is attractive at all. Not my kind of men lol

Honestly at first impact he looked much cooler, now looking at him carefully I agree he isn't that attractive..but LOVE IS BLIND guys

same here, he looks like common people that i saw here everyday :laugh

I agree, love is blind! But Ayu chose him so he surely has something good for her!

I think Mannie's just sweet and faithful, that's why she chose him, not because of his look :laugh

No Mannie hate, he seems a very sweet and lovely person...

personally phisically he's not my type, but I find them together pretty cute.

And then this conversation is just a mere chatter since people fell in love with other people for what they're on the inside, not because of their apperance...so..

I didn't say I hate him, just say he is not my type! He makes Ayu happy, so I'm happy for her! ;)

Super Manuel LOL~
Wanna see inside the Super Ayu!

if super ayu not for sale, so why there's 500 limited?
i don't understand~

but why leslie make so many copies of it and dont sell it o.O

I want the pair of them! That's really cool, looks like its made Ayu happy <3

i love the ayu and lady gaga ones =)

she didn't know? ) amazing surprise

Sounds from the Tweets that she didn't know :3 That's so cool!! I like the idea, it makes these super special~

guess that when Leslie went to LA was to take Mannie's pics haha..
very sweet surprise actually~

I find the "Ayu who always supported me" comment kind of weird. Not that I don't think it's genuine, but it just seems weird to say that when she's only known him for a little over a year, lol.

I don't find Mannie all that attractive either. Sometimes he looks incredibly hot, but most of the times he just looks... too scruffy or something. And that cover is so awkward because he's doing a feminine pose. You would think as a model and photographer duo, Mannie and Leslie would know better, but whatever. :P

I want "SUPER AYU x MANUEL" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#giggled#

^
^
but they have known for quite a year already and their marriage is also almost a year.
maybe all this time ayu has been encouraging him through phone, emails etc?

oh i want SUPER AYU X MANNIE too!!!

With Mannie's long hair and beard, he should a photoshot of him wearing a costume like Vigo Mortensen in Lord of the Rings or Sean Bean in Game of thrones.

And I would totally buy it XD

i very want "SUPER AYU x MANUEL" (pre-wedding or after wedding special photoshot) LOL~~

AYU's not for sale, haha!!Love the cover!

Hmm.. why there are 500 copies of the Super Ayu book, when it is not for sale? Do they present it to the staff and friends and so on?
I don't like the cover of the Super Manuel book. Not a good shoot.
I would never by a book from Manuel. I'm a fan of Ayu.. not of her husbad. So... what should I do with this book?
By the way.. he also isn't my type of men. But well.. I would not ask why Ayu has choose him. Maybee he is a relly kind guy.. and the looking isn't the most important thing.. isn't it? And well.. maybee he is Ayu's type of men.

LOL Mannie XD

speaking of mannie, what on earth has he been up to lately??

ayu's cover shoot is absolutely stunning, the more i look at it the more i find it amazing

No hate for mannie, but I would rather buy SUPER AYU XD

I think Mannie is hot

LOL I don't think he's atractive either, and the cover of his photobook is honestly AWFUL xD but well it's always like that when you think someone is gorgeous and they find the significant other, the never are good enough/enough good looking lol but what do we know why she chose him ;p

@Tom Punks: lol that was my thought exactly " she knows you for like more than a year xD " but then I was like "tho what do I know xD"

I remember how saw Max Matsuura's photo in front of huuuge stand 'Super Ayu'... a month ago? Ayu didn't know it will be a book?

hmmmmm... well maybe they didn't tell her untill her birthday...

It was this guy: https://twitter.com/#!/GUTS_RUSH
http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/9788/ayuha.jpg

She is surprised by the SUPER MANUEL not the SUPER AYU. ^^

EDIT: Mannie is not holding the SUPER MANUEL book in the picture. It looks like they put it over the SUPER AYU book. X)
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7641/mannie.jpg

I'm kind of weirded out by the thought of them giving a copy of SUPER MANUEL to Ayu... and imagining her like looking at it every night because he lives across the world from her. e_e

^ Aww that's such a sad thought... I can't think of it like that, haha.
:no

I'm a little slow xDD

ouw... I can see a Super Lady GaGa photobook too!

I really don't see what's with all the Mannie hate.

He's tall and dark, which I think fits in a good majority of a girl's "type of guy". He has a great career, seems to be super easy going and from the fans that met him last year in LA he seems to be super nice and caring.

I don't see why Ayu shouldn't be with him, or how anyone can not understand why she chose him.

Maybe that photobook cover isn't the best, but if you look on his website he has a great portfolio and can take some really good pictures. He's not a model for no reason, surely his style appeals to many.

Plus if you look at picture of Nagase with Ayu, for some time he had longer hair and a beard too. So that might just be exactly Ayu's type/style of men.

^fully agree.

12,000 yen for SUPER MANUAL on YAJ. Any takers? XD

Leslie posted photos on his Twitter from his FOREVER YOUNG exhibition (male counterpart to LOVE & HOPE but with nude models as he usually does) and SUPER LADY GAGA/SUPER MANUEL were featured as well.

The photos (link to image) they took are basically exactly what you'd expect from a shoot done with a guy by Leslie. I kinda don't get why he always goes so risque with his men's shoots but eh.

I feel like Mannie needs a make over...

nude Mannie ^^
they think that Ayu will better after watching this? I mean they are not able to meet and that is sad. teasing is bad idea %)

^^i saw nude Mannie on the wall O_O

I'm still want to see this book xDD

I don't think I was ready to see Mannie naked... @_@ Even from that far away.

I can't believe someone would pay 12,000 yen for it... :thud

All your comments actually made me reopen that picture and stare at it in search of naked Mannie. O_O

me too, hahaha!

i don't know why people hate on Mannie so much. having met him in person, i can assure you he's quite sexy. :lech even though, no, i don't think he looks that great on the cover of Super Manuel.

TYVM. This is what I was waiting for.

It's not cause a few pictures are bad that he's not sexy or unattractive. I thought he looked really cool in the PVs :cool

yep, i agree! some shots of Mannie are really sexy!

and in person...he just exudes sex appeal. i totally see why Ayu would find him attractive! :yes

plus, he just seems like a nice down-to-earth guy in person.

Ohhh even if Mannie's face isnt the best his body sure is T_T I WANT TO SEE THOSE PICTURES IN BETTER QUALITY :P
and i think Leslie is probably gay, so he enjoys doing risque shoots with sexy male models XP hehe

Haha, same here! xD
