I really like her style on these pics! She looks really pretty <3
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much!
She looks really good! Very "natural".
Stunning body as well.

she's wearing MTRLG jean shorts on the full spread page. You can tell from the button. :) vintage haha.

i liked the shots in this magazine! and i bought it so i can try to win one of the items :P

is it me or does it looks like ayu and maro are in a relationship?

It's not only you. Of course, these are professional pictures and the shoot was probably meant to look romantic but it just seems so unusual for Ayu to do these kinds of pictures with guys. Every picture Ayu and Maro are together in, they are close to each other or even holding each other, and my inner romantic is screaming at me for it.
I don't want to come to any conclusions just by this shoot and the You & Me PV/off-shot, but... yeah. :innocent Looking at them makes my chest feel warm with adorableness.
And to actually talk about the magazine shoot itself, I definitely like it. Ayu looks natural, sensual, and classy, and her pictures with Maro look genuinely affectionate. I feel like making a romantic movie poster out of the black and white one.

Just remember before Maro it was Shuya, and Shuya's already said he's gay and most working with her are.

Isn't Maro married?

That's what I thought too. IIRC, he had his last name changed when it happened too?

We could be mixing it up with one of her dancers from 2008-2009ish that was in the troupe for like two years and then he got married shortly after leaving.

6th picture reminds me of daybreak

cuute!! especially love the picture of her dead center on the page w/ayu+maro.. with her in the pink shorts and the peace sign? It looks candid and untouched by photoshop!! :)

the only one I don't care for is the black and white one...although I LOVE maro in it.

The holding hands one is perfect omg.

Anyway, she has my approval to be with that guy any time she wants...he seriously just grew in me hahaha she probably isn't though.

It looks like they actually did kiss then from the scan.

Ayu's done lovey-dovey stuff with Shuya, but not to the extent of this. With him, it was mourning, crying, and more fake crying. Oh, and flailing. Can't forget the flailing :P

Wonder if he's jealous hahaha~

^ Well, according to this pic, they never kissed, so don't know.
I think it's the angle, maybe.

And thanks for the scans! I love that blue dress *_*

That photo kinda looks more like he's kissing her teeth... or smile-kissing her.

So happy that Ayu did these photo shoots! They look like a cute couple, and I agree with other fans that she looks relaxed. Her body looks great too. It's nice to see her toned and not just skinny. I hope I look like her in my 30s.

Thank you! Great photoshoot :D

I actually really love this magazine shoot! :heart

Thanks! :)

i can't stop staring at that pic of Ayu and Maro... She just looks beyond beautiful!! i need a poster of this, SRSLY!!
