This image, Rah_manga_panties.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (GunnarRene) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it is a low resolution crop of three panels of a comic book;
2. the screenshot is uploaded in lower resolution and a very small proportion of the work is reproduced — thus copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book ;
3. it is significant to the article because the article discusses both difference in character design and characterization (an important aspect of the copyrighted character(s) or group(s)) between this manga and its associated anime
4. the panels are from the first chapter of the series. The publisher, VIZ Media, provides this chapter freely viewable on their website
5. it has no adverse effect upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

This image is from a comic strip, webcomic or from the cover or interior of a comic book. The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic or the writer(s) and/or artist(s) which produced the comic in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of the cover of a comic book to illustrate: the issue of the comic book in question; the periodical comic book series of which this issue is a part; or the copyrighted comic book character(s) or group(s) on the cover of the issue in question; or the use of low-resolution images of a single panel from a comic strip or an interior page of a comic book to illustrate: the scene or storyline depicted, or the copyrighted character(s) or group(s) depicted on the excerpted panel in question; where no free alternative exists or can be created, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.
