That's already been pointed out in the comments. The real question is whether there's any significance to them making those specific gestures?

Ah, I had Shut Up enabled! Thought no one had mentioned anything.

<p>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:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/4PE0p.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/4PE0p.jpg" alt="Zetsubou Restaurant cover"></a></p>

<p>The four characters are, in order:</p>

<ul>
<li>Abiru Kobushi</li>
<li>Matoi Tsunetsuki</li>
<li>Harumi Fujiyoshi</li>
<li>Kiri Komori</li>
</ul>

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

<p>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)</p>

<p>Are the other 2 gestures also some kind of Mudra (yoga gestures)? </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>And what about Komori? Is there some meaning behind this?</p>

Looks to me like they are making a card suit. Spades, diamonds, hearts and clubs, in order from left to right.

@Dimitrimx maybe that should be an answer. I'm not sure if there's anything else to it (though I don't remember the context well).

@LoganM may be. I haven't seen/read the series, so I can't really tell if there's any message/meaning behind them making a card suit, beyond them making a card suit.

Yeah, when I noticed the card suits in the title, I also subsequently realized that's what their hands are representing. I wonder if there's still an hidden meaning.
