Zerozaku art FINALLY! We need more like this!

[singingaway.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to this artbook <3

[mossygirl.livejournal.com]

That's gorgeous. ... I really, really need to order this book.

[e-eleniel.livejournal.com]

Suzaku looks... blond... LOL.

I love how their hands are placed on the sword. The placement makes me think that Suzaku's pose screams control and Lelouch's...vulnerability, as his hand is directly above the sharp side of the sword...

[nayami.livejournal.com]

I think rather than vulnerability it represents support. Suzaku is the one who's still alive and could use all the emotional support he can get. I think it's very symbolic that they are so close but the sword is the only thing they can share together, as if it represents their pact and Suzaku's destiny. Though the mirrored helmet/hat pose is beautiful.

[wishmasterfuuma.livejournal.com]

I think support in symbolism is often times displayed as strength. Lelouch's grip is a little too molesty to properly emit the idea, 'Support.' I think vulnerability is a good guess, otherwise he could just be molesting the sword.

It could be something in how his strength is a soft one: commands, manipulation, obfuscation. But Suzaku's is more hard: physical strength, martial arts, endurance.

Could be anything.

[nayami.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Half conscious thinking waaaay too into a picture merely created for fanservice etc etc. Molesty sure. And that's much more likely than vulnerable. However curving is very protector-like and possessive. Strength comes in many flavors other than just force/authority like Suzaku displays. Lelouch's is more along the lines of "I have you."


And now I pass out.

[innerve.livejournal.com]

That is so sexual.

I am not even kidding.

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

first we get the sword penetration and now sword fondling. maybe the show needs an R rating...at least the artbooks need it. :)

[snoozy.livejournal.com]

Suzu with Zero-uniform-package huh? Gets some time to adjust to this one. XD

Thanks for the update ~

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

Suzu with Zero-uniform-package
...Yeah, I totally thought you meant a different definition of "package" there and had to scroll back up to check. >_>

[deadums.livejournal.com]

This is everything I've ever wanted.

[chirigami.livejournal.com]

Too many books that I want ;o; not enough money... x__x

[white-ashes07.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing the preview!

[lulu-holic.livejournal.com]

all i can say is...
...good work clamp, for pairing suzaxlulu in erotic way.
(suzaku kneeling down for emperoro lulu and lulu hold the sword which is brushing suzaku's right cheek, wich look like suzaku kissing the sword for lulu)

moe♥moe♥moe♥moe♥moe♥moe♥
...drooooooooooooooooool.
...nosebleed.
...nosebleed.

[nayami.livejournal.com]

This is not Clamp. This is TakaKimu.

[lulu-holic.livejournal.com]

im talking about the picture behind the cut in kanameclan's blog, suzaxlulu picture, didnt you see it?

[lulu-holic.livejournal.com]

oh yeah btw, why does lulu's hand gesture is so erotic and sexy?
(the one placed aroud the sword)

[cyber-chaos.livejournal.com]

This makes me kind of wish they hadn't made the sword so freaking goofy looking.

[naermint.livejournal.com]

I LOVE IT. ♥♥♥

[canalchuu.livejournal.com]

The sword's awful xD but Suzaku looks lovely <3

[shizuka85.livejournal.com]

Do want!! Why can't I find this at any online stores? I checked YesAsia, Play-Asia, Sasuga Books, and AnimeNation. I really wish there was a Kinokuniya here.

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

[misterea.livejournal.com]

ZEROZAKU!! ♥♥♥

and why the fabulous sword ?

[sakurita.livejournal.com]

Mmm.. it looks like the portrait of a royal couple. 0_o

[wishmasterfuuma.livejournal.com]

So you have to think about it. Some poor underling mindslave of Lulu's dragged those two stone thrones out into the middle of the desert just so Lelouch could have his little photoshoot.

'Cause you know Lelouch couldn't've lifted those. Suzaku might've, though.

Pondering backgrounds.

[slasher-forever.livejournal.com]

IT IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL. It is painted with IRONY all over it.

And I love it to bits. <3
