It's been a while since I watched this anime, and today I suddenly realized
that the four ladies on the cover of Zetsubou Restaurant aren't all doing the
heart hand gesture, but in fact have 4 different gestures:

[![Zetsubou Restaurant

The four characters are, in order:

  * Abiru Kobushi
  * Matoi Tsunetsuki
  * Harumi Fujiyoshi
  * Kiri Komori

Maybe it's been only an aesthetic choice, but given all the hidden messages in
SZS, that's probably not the case.

Fujiyoshi's heart might signify romantic (yaoi?) love. Tsunetsuki's hands
instead seem to be in a Yoni Mudra pose, maybe symbolizing lust? (since she
was the stalker in the series)

Are the other 2 gestures also some kind of Mudra (yoga gestures)?

Maybe Kobushi's doing an Hasta Mudra (apparently it's supposed to reduce
anxiety)? I'm not sure what would be the relationship with her character.

And what about Komori? Is there some meaning behind this?

What is the meaning of the hand gestures on Zetsubou Restaurant's cover?


Club, diamond, heart, spade, the four suits on a pack of playing cards.
