Chibi ness scans
I got my lazy butt up and moving to scan a few of the pages from the Meine Liebe II book :D
REORGANIZED AT 20TH SEPTEMBER '08.
D. Gray-man fanbook Gray Ark cover
Since the entire book is in Japanese, and my knowledge of Japanese is practically non-existent, I'll be grateful if someone can try to translate or summarise the text in the scans below :DD
Meine Liebe II book cover
I forgot what the picture on the left is orginally drawn for (phonecard?) But they all look so unhappy/annoyed there o.O
Contents page
Next came the profiles, individual characters intro etc, with some pretty interesting stuff. There's some info or something about the characters in different stages of the game or so... They also have this relationship chart to show how eg. Lui feels towards Orphe and vice versa. For Marin, she likes all the guys ^^; And I think Ed is wary of August's father, while August's father has hopes in him. [Mere guessing by looking at kanji though.. T_T]
Not all pages are scanned in.
Chibi Orphe! For the mini-dancing game 8D And chibi Orphe has more expressions (like the DX one... ^^)
The different expressions of Orphe... oh and I think Orphe's outdoor clothes looks pretty nice on him :D
Chibi Ed! It's a bit hard to imagine Ed doing a formal dance, but he is! :D
Chibi Camus really look so cute when he's dancing! :D He has that sweet smile and his face and looks like he's concentrating on doing it well ^_^
And that's Camus' father and brother on the extreme right pic. I don't think that's the same brother in the anime.
Lui can be chibi too ^_^ I really like his "RaarRR" amd "OMG-I'm-going-to-faint-soon-dancing-with-an-idiot" expressions 8D
I really prefer the purple formal shirt to the gray formal shirt (which was one of the designs they came up with), glad that they used it in the end. And one funny thing about Lui and Ed's relationship... they both can't understand each other 8D
Naoji~! :D Wait, why does Naoji has less chibi images than the others? D: He doesn't dance with the heroine? ): And he has lesser pictures compared to the other characters as well... D: D: D: But his shocked and kneel-on-the-floor chibi expressions are so cute ^_^ They have this part about the katana which I have absolutely no idea what it says.
And and. Although Marin likes all the guys, she seems to have a special spot for Naoji O.O *chokes*
And apparently, the soldiers are chibi-fied too.
Isaac, whom I feel is one of the most ignored character out of the main 6, gracing us with his presence :D
By the way, all of them have this Skin, Eye, and Hair colour chart which indicates the RGB values of the colours used for that respective area. Thought that I'll mention this here since Isaac's colour chart is the only one that's most visible ^^;
After that came the profile pages of the 3 other guys in the Meine Liebe II game, which I was too lazy too scan since I don't know them well *bricked*
Shows the character design of the heroine, as well as her chibi images! :D Her SD form is cute too, and kind of remind me of Camus.
That's your papa, I mean the heroine's father, in the extreme right image. I'm not sure who that lady in the image is though o.O
Because the other girls deserve more love... and because I'm pretty interested in their backgrounds too XD *hopeful look at whoever who can read Japanese*
Her clothes are pretty classy.
Our favourite fangirl 8D Actually she looks kind of cute wearing that formal dress holding her bunny >.> She likes Orphe and Naoji the best apparently O:
Ehhh. Why is Augusta's father arrested? O.o
After that is the profiles of the supporting characters... I only scanned in those which I think are more interesting ^^;
Our beloved headnaster~ |D And the King of Kuchen here as well. Their ages and heights are unknown 8D;
I really want to know who this guy is, anybody care to translate? ;_; He looks like an older version of Lui, and has the same seiyuu as Lui :S I'll be grateful to anyone who'll translate that... C':
I'm really really curious what this is all about. Is it some kind of story...? Can anyone provide a short summary? ^^/
Info about the Kingdom of Kuchen (there's a map), and also about the "Herzog", "Furst" etc. So Marin's family is of the same rank as Lui's... no wonder. And I think the seas around Kuchen are named after food ^^;
Next is the map of Rosenstolz and some of the interior screenshots. Some of the graphics are really pretty (even though they don't look that great on the scan >.<), such as the girls' room and Strahls' room. The map of the area around Rosenstolz is shown... if you had played the GBA game, all of the places that you can visit are in there :D
After that, they show different places of Kuchen. I scanned in the page of one of them (Trabeo and Faige)
The chibis by different artists, before the final one :) And the next page is probably some info about the game...?
Seiyuu interviews!
Other than the 6 that we know...There's Kenjiro Tsuda as Wolfram (He voices Elmunt in Wieder, adult Lambo in Reborn! :D), Takeshi Maeda as Kirill (Gerald in Wieder \o/), and Jun Fukuyama as Siegrid (I've watched a lot of anime where his voice appears... Kei in Special A, Tokidoki in Amatsuki, Aidou in Vampire Knight, Link in DGM and Lelouch in Code Geass :D)
Next is the interviews with the production staff... I only scanned 2 pages ^^;
Ending with a coloured sketch of the 3 of them.
If any of you wants to, you can use the scan for graphics :D Link back here if you want to share =D
I've been looking through the book and attempting to figure out what it's saying (with little success), and the girls' fathers/siblings (aka Augusta, Wilhemine & Marin) makes their appearances there. Somehow the Strahl are helping/using/allying with the families or something and it seems pretty interesting (judging just based on their relationships chart)
An interesting point is the "leader" or something (of the revolution?). When he takes off his hood, he looks like an older version of Lui O.o And his seiyuu is the same as Lui's too... I wonder what's his relation with Lui?
