Even though I really enjoyed Takaya/Kagetora and Naoe as a couple, I was never interested in any rilezu cels of them together. That all changed once I saw this beauty. I felt that the expressions on their faces didn’t seem as stiff and unnatural like in a number of others that I had seen. I also like the sense of motion in this image as Naoe whips off his tie.

I feel especially lucky to get this cel. I was late in seeing the dealer’s update due to work. There were several cels of them together that were already on hold. This one was the only one I was interested in and fortunately it was still available.
