- the kanji (the last character): http://nihongo.j-talk.com/parser/search/kanjisearch.php?pick=4B3F
it means 'a certain person' (?)
- before it, the 3 hiragana are: ji'da'ma (is that a name?)
- and before the ':', the 4 katakana are: i'ra'su'to (= fanart
illustration)
so, it says 'fanart by a certain Jidama' ? ...who is that?
irasuto just means "illustrated by" or "illustrator" - this
is official art, not fanart.
Like I said a couple of comments above, the artist is Bow Ditama/Jitama Bou
(????).
The credit printed on the card is again wrong on this one - the Japanese card
(from the 12th Collector's Edition DVD) correct credits Keiji Gotoh, not
HIYOHIYO.
She's one of the lead characters ^^;
For some reason the credit on the image is incorrect (is this from the
FUNimation set?) - the artist is actually Bou Ditama (Mahoromatic) and it was
correctly credited on the Japanese release (this card came with the 11th
Collector's Edition DVD)
Dr.Moro's art looks nothing like this ^^;;;
Looks to be a German cover again, originally from the 11th Japanese DVD.
Art by Kadonosono Megumi (Alv and Dvergr) and Ebikawa Kanetake (Svart in the
backbround).
Again, I assume due to the Tokyopop logo that this is from a German DVD.
Originally part of the reverse cover for the 11th Japanese Collector's Edition
DVD (Eclair has been cropped off from the right hand side), artist is Hidefumi
Kimura.
(as with the other scan from this article)
I think this was in Anime Insider. Either that or Animerica (I have some copies
of both but am not sure where they are right now) but since Wikipedia says of
Anime Insider "A trademark feature in Wizard Entertainment publications,
word bubbles are added to printed pictures" it is most likely that one.

The 'chibi' eclair seen in the series 2 promo is from the prequel novels set 10
years before the original series. She was in one of the episode 10 eyecatches
and one of the flashback sequences.
Hang on - that may not be your scan but it certainly is one of mine!
I never did get around to finishing the removal of that second fold line, or the
kinks where the individual scans didn't stitch properly.
Quote by ghaleon1103I just watched
this episode last night! It's in volume 3, don't remember exactly which episode
though. It is indeed an "eye catch," if you're referring to the
segments on either side of the commercial breaks...
The image was originally an eyecatch, episode 8
to be precise, and the artist responsible is Tokumi Yuiko (the Bottle Fairy
character designer).
Quote by info-0These are not new
characters It's Lumiere and Eclair.
If they are, we are not supposed to know that (yet). After all, they have been
announced as "new heroines", they have different names, and the promo
suggests that Eclair and Lumiere are (ostensibly) dead.
Artist is HIYOHIYO.
Evidently the same guy as that certain emperor...
Same artist, Bow Ditama (the mangaka of Mahoromatic).
irasuto just means "illustrated by" or "illustrator" - this is official art, not fanart.

Not blaming you, just pointing it out. The UK DVDs did not come with cards.

Presumably from the German DVDs?
Artist for this image is Tokumi Yuiko and it is based on one of the eyecatch illustrations.
Where did the name "Shuria" come from? In the Summer Memory booklets they are both Toudou.

For reference (from this book, included with the second DVD box set)
The boy's name is Zoma (??). Never did work out what it is supposed to mean.
Characters are Kuroki Manatsu (left) and Tachibana Ichika (right)

There's at least one more copy of this here (guess I'm the only one who gets stuff deleted when someone uploads another copy). Artist is Tokumi Yuiko.

The actual DVD cover without the ad text in the way is already over here: Kiddy Grade 2 Pilot DVD by shirobane
If they are, we are not supposed to know that (yet). After all, they have been announced as "new heroines", they have different names, and the promo suggests that Eclair and Lumiere are (ostensibly) dead.
I had already scanned this cover, but in two halves:
Gokikura 12 front cover by shirobane
Lumiere, lipstick and petals (Gokikura 12 back cover) by shirobane
I guess someone has flattened out their copy, or possibly even taken the cover off completely.
Looks like the original was based on this scene from the PV DVD.
Thanks guys. Don't know why you can't add it to your favs, I don't seem to have the options since I uploaded it.
