You guys, the special Bible Mana talked about on one of his Aesthetics posts was released today, so I bought it on my way home and scanned his pages, as promised:

I am glad he had more than two shots this time. And he looks fantastic on the EGA ones, as usual.

The black x navy dress he is wearing is absolutely gorgeous in person. Highly recommended!

P.S.: photobucket and imageshack are resizing the images, anyone knows of another place that doesn't do that?

[edit] thank you Astral Romance! Edited with larger ones.

Thanks for the pics, they are just amazing^^.

You can try tinypic.com, maybe it would work.

adonis · Feb 24, 2010

Thanks you so so much Ms Fujiwara!

I love the first EGA pics! the outfit is perfect!
The second one is awesome too! The EGA outfit is really awesome, hope there will release those new article soon! The EGL isn't bad but the dress don't really fir him in this one...it's strange.
And I completely love the third one! Sad the wig looks kinda fake :oops:

Garnet in the Eden · Feb 24, 2010

these are nice pics but i have to say, the photoshop is so awful. that doesn't even look like Mana, it looks slightly scary.

La dix Croix · Feb 24, 2010

thank you so much for this!!
I'm glad to see him outside the GLB
and he looks fabulous
just a little strange in the couple one, the Mana wearing EGL...don't know why

Phantom Pabulum · Feb 24, 2010

He looks wonderful in the EGA (second pic) but he looks terrible in EGL, imo. He looks like a very chunky lady.

The lip color is a little weird as well, plus the skin around his lips looks darker, it's like he didn't apply his foundation properly (?)

Thanks for the scans!

That's what is strange XD

But, I wonder:is this issue an issue of GLB? I mean, is this G&L ensemble a sort of special issue of GLB?

voixdinferno · Feb 24, 2010

I remember the time after the MM split... when Mana appeared in early editions of GLB, they looked fantastic!, but why no now???

what happen with he, he is getting old?...

but I still prefer their "new" style, Elegant Gothic "Terrible" Lolita. XD

Thanks Mrs. Fujiwara. (you bought a scanner?, good!)

Martine · Feb 24, 2010

Thank you for the pics, Mrs. Fujiwara ^^ It's really kind ^^

My preference :
The EGA of the second one and, like Adonis, I especially LOVE the third one <3
It's the kind of dress I'd surely exchange my eternal pants for

Really, I love this one ^^

Lardeen · Feb 24, 2010

Thank you for posting, Mrs.Fujiwara!

EGA Mana is looking good, I think. (something is different though)
In the second picture it looks a little as if his EGA self is pouting, haha

I have to agree, something about him in EGL is totally off, especially in the picture with the black/blue dress. His face looks quite horrible; the one who photoshops his pictures should get fired. I mean, what? The make-up around his lips (and his lips) look weird too. I wonder if he changed his way of applying lipstick and rouge; somehow it looks as if his upper lip is curving more downward. That black&blue dress is unfortunate. I'm surprised you say that it looks good in real... Here it looks like he gained a whole lot of weight.
The picture with him in the white dress is better already, but there still seems something off. What I like is the natural red hair and the white/blue headress. I think the colours go well together.

...the black/blue dress Mana is haunting me. ::erm::

La dix Croix · Feb 24, 2010

i love the one with the white EGL dress, the webiste pic it's terrible

I totally agree that the photoshop it's TERRIBLE. really.

the black x blue dress it's really beautiful.
the angle, the pose and the photoshop make him and the dress horrible.

In the last Mashousho he looks fantastic, really, better than in the 2 years

He's a human after all... 10 years have passed XD. He still looks fantastic! i wish i could look as good as he does when i am 40 XD

I am sure he hasn't gained weight XD. Those dresses just make him look fat. I know what it means, that is the reason why i never never wear EGL style dresses, cause they strangelly make me look kind of fat XD. Some people just can't wear such style clothes ::meev::

. But the bad thing is when they don't understand that style doesn't fit them and still wear EGL, as Mana does XD

dix_ange · Feb 24, 2010

Oh wow, thank you so much for these amazing scans, Mrs Fujiwara!

He looks amazing in EGA, the big EGA picture reminds me a bit of Kamijo... don't know exactly why XD
And the smaller one is just gorgeous. I love that kind of outfit so much on him!

The fit of the blackxblue dress is just awkward on him... even if it's a beautiful dress, it doesn't seem to suit him. I don't know, it could be the angle of the photograph or something. And his face looks weird indeed, way too much photoshop! The blurriness around his lips looks strange...
But, I think he looks adorable in the white dress! ^^

He wears the ribbons on the socks in a different way than I do! I always tie them around my ankles XD

Yeah, in the last Madousho there's an EGL pic of him (must be recent as he's wearing the Holy Queen JSK from the winter 2009 collection) and he looks absolutely adorable. Just like in the old GLB pics. He also looked perfectly fine at Dis Inferno in December, i.e. no wrinkles, no sagging, no weight gain, so I really don't think he needs all this photoshopping.

Other than that I like the photo shoot, it seems a bit more creative than the GLB shoots recently. Especially the white EGL outfit looks great.

Duchesse · Feb 24, 2010

In those pictures he reminds me of Kaya, but I can't say why. oO. ^^

Astral Romance · Feb 24, 2010

By the way, you probably haven't noticed this, but in this pic: http://i45.tinypic.com/286wwn7.jpg EGL Mana has only ONE leg. Epic photoshop fail :lol:

La dix Croix · Feb 24, 2010

yes XD i noticed it
Hope that mana will kill who photoshopped those pics

and I totally agree with Geisha

Holy crap you're right! And if you brighten it, the leg he has looks really freaky... ::meev::

He's Mermaid Man...
EDT: Wait, there might be a leg back there...but it still is a really weird picture.
