It was Mannie's gift. If he went to Leslie and was like "Let's sell this to further my career" It's not some sort of betrayal on Leslie's part. Or if Leslie says "Maybe we can sell this" and everyone agrees. The whole fact that it was supposed to be private is sort of irrelevant as far as that goes. That's Mannie's fault for not communicating to Ayu his true intentions, and even, who he is as a person and what he wants in life.
Also. I think some of you are projecting how you personally feel about Leslie's photography onto Ayu. Did she ever actually SAY that she didn't like the CONTENT of the photos? Did she ever say that she didn't like seeing Mannie in that particular way?
Did she ever say that she doesn't like receiving photobooks?
I think it's possible that she won't like the gift, but I think it's perfectly possible that she does like that kind of gift, and would think it's sweet. I think it's just a little superficial to think that all of this drama is happening just because Ayu doesn't like seeing her dancers a certain way. She's not like that. Give her some credit.
She seemed most angry because her relationship with Leslie put her dancers in a position where they felt lied to. And I don't think that the Super Mannie issue was some sort of warning for them at all.

Well, if my memory serves, Ayu did say that she found the content of Super Mannie to be less than appealing. I, personally, don't see anything wrong with the photos of her dancers or any of Leslie's work, so that to me is irrelevant. I just don't think a photobook with Leslie was the best idea for a gift. Sorry, but we just don't feel the same.
