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.
