Ai Yori Aoshi -- top rotation

Ordinarily I am really loath to use frame grabs in the top rotation that include guys. But I have to make an exception for these two:

What's Mayu doing with a figure like that? Somehow I had come away with the idea that she was 12. But I reread the spoilers, and see where I made my mistake. She was 12 when she met Kaoru, back before he left his family. I am not sure how long ago that's been, but probably 4 years, so that makes her high school age -- and makes her figure quite plausible.

UPDATE: Pity I can't use this one:

But there are limits.

UPDATE: This one I will use:

Ah, Taeko! What indignities have they forced on you?

UPDATE: It really is hard to resist the temptation to gather about a thousand pictures of Taeko, you know that? I just finished the first series, and I've got probably 90 grabs so far and the Majority of those are Tina and/or Taeko. Here's one I can't use:

Pity, isn't it?

UPDATE: I can't use this one, either, but I'll be damned if I'll let it go to waste.

1 Taeko actually looks even better with her glasses off and her hair down.  Now, I'm all for meganekko, but this is a rare exception.  I think we see her like that in a later onsen episode (but beware--there is some loli action from Chika in that one).
Mayu is 16 when she first gets back.  She skipped two grades while in England in order to rush back to Japan and Kaoru.

2 Glasses and hairstyles notwithstanding, I for one am impressed by the young ladies merits.

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:
      [spoiler]your spoiler here[/spoiler]
Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)

At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
