beautiful, i've never seen this scan before!!! thanks!

Wowww.. thanks!! ^_^ So pretty!! .. I have the artbook, but there's a big CREASE in the center of this one ^^;;; ..

n.n; very beautiful wish I had the artbook... ;.;

It's a lovely scan! I do have something to say about the "Elda" spelling.

ERDA was the Norse goddess of the earth. Sometimes she was called Jord. She was said to be the mother of the Valkyries.

Erda, Freya, and Frigga were all Norse earth goddesses and they were probably all different aspects of the same goddess. All three of them were said to be the wives of Odin in different stories. Since there is a Freya in Chobits, it's very unlikely that the name Erda was not intended.

It seems that whoever at Tokyopop decided to refer to Erda as "Elda" in the Chobits manga really didn't know a whole lot about Norse mythology.

Very nice scan, but who is Elda? Maybe I just haven't gotten that far in the series yet.

Wow This is so beautiful!
