Yu Yu Hakusho: Genkai

A legendary reiki master, Genkai is known both in the human and demon realms and takes in an unlikely Urameshi Yusuke as her successor. Her signature technique, the Spirit Wave, is an outpour of spirit energy from the entire body which can be used in healing, purification, and combat. A side effect of this power shifts the body’s cells into temporary reversion to the form in which the wielder was most powerful in their life.

Kiramado キラマド makes a stunning Genkai! Even the setting seems most appropriate for this cosplay. Thanks to SweetPea for sharing this!

Pandora Hearts: Xerxes Break

A member of Pandora and a servant of the Rainsworth Dukedom, Xerxes Break gives the appearance of a carefree character, only showing his dangerous and evil side when the need arises. Break has a legal contract with the Mad Hatter and is often seen with a doll on his shoulder whom he calls “Emily”. He adores cakes as well as sweet things.

Beautiful cosplay by Aerish! I don’t think I’d even want to try and ask for candy from Break at this point..! Thanks to her photographer, Ayafreya, for sending this!

To Aru Majustsu no Index: Index Librorum Prohibitorum

A young nun from a branch of the Church of England, Necessarius, Index has been implanted with the 103,000 magical texts of the Index Librorum Prohibitum (“List of Prohibited Books”) because of her photographic memory. This makes magicians wonder if Index is even human because one grimoire is poisonous to the mind and could even possibly kill a person, let alone thousands. Her sorcery name is Dedicatus545, "The devoted lamb that protects the knowledge of the strong."

Another beautiful cosplay by Kanda Midori! Although Wikipedia says Index has thigh-length, silvery-blue hair, I think we can overlook this minor detail. I mean, long wigs are hard to keep well-styled after all. Thanks again to Edward for sending this in!

Angel Beats!: Nakamura Yuri 04

When Yuri's parents stepped out of the house, a group of robbers broke in to steal whatever commodities they could. Failing to find anything of value, they turned to Yuri, as she was the eldest of the four children, and threatened to kill each of her siblings at 10 minute intervals if she does not cooperate with them.

It is still unknown how Yuri died, but she confessed to Otonashi Yuzuru that she was certain no one who commits suicide makes it into the afterlife.

Great cosplay by Michan Lim! Although she sent this to me together with Nichan’s cosplay of Shiina, I wanted to make sure that I don’t flood Cosplay Holic with Angel Beats! Thanks again to Michan for sharing this with us!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Chrome Dokuro and Hibari Kyoya

When she was transferred into the future, Chrome’s physical condition became worse as her illusionary internal organs began failing one after the other. The adult Hibari Kyoya then instructed her to use the power of her Vongola Ring to sustain her organs through her own illusions. This allowed Chrome to escape any immediate danger, and thus prolonging her life.

Cosplayers Schoki and Hibanator make an excellent Chrome and Kyoya! I love the setting and Kyoya’s fierce attitude! Thanks to Itsuchi, their photographer as well as Miranda for the suggestion!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Panty and Stocking

When the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, were kicked out of heaven for bad behavior, they are sent to Daten City in order to collect Heaven Coins to regain entrance to Heaven. Panty is quite rude and aggressive, almost an exact opposite to Stocking who is generally more level-headed and intelligent. Panty does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as Stocking does, preferring other earthly pleasures before she returns to heaven.

Beautiful cosplay by legendary Korean duo, Tasha and Tomia! I really love their matching poses and gorgeous wigs! Thanks to Alberstein for sending this!

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun: Misaka Mikoto

Mikoto was discovered as a Level 1 Electromaster, espers with the ability to generate and control electricity, when she was still a young girl. She enrolled in Academy City to train herself, working very hard until she was ranked a Level 5, becoming the third strongest among seven in this rank. Her ability to shoot projectiles such as coins at high, destructive speeds earned her the nickname, “The Railgun”.

Stunning cosplay by Kanda Midori! I love how clean yet effective this photo is in portraying Mikoto. Thanks to Zerina for sending this!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi 05

Although very little is revealed about Haruhi’s childhood, she mentioned a revelatory incident when she attended a baseball game with her family. While she regarded her life as special as a child, the sheer number of people in the stadium brings her to the realization that they fit into the normal, everyday occurrences and habits of Japanese citizens and humans in general. Haruhi believes that at least one person in the world would have a truly unique and interesting life, and she searched for the extraordinary in order to become that person.

Stunning cosplay by Mizuno Shiro! I really like this outfit for Haruhi, although I have no idea whether this actually appeared in the series or not. I know there’s a figure though… Thanks again to Yuna for sending this!

Ore no Imoto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai: Goko Ruri aka Kuroneko

Another otaku who lives near Kirino, Ruri’s often wears gothic lolita clothing based on a character from her favorite anime. Her nickname, Kuroneko, comes from her love of wearing cat ears and tail in addition to her cosplays. Although she and Kirino often clash due to their strong personalities, she actually does care very much for Kirino.

Beautiful cosplay by Eki! I have a soft spot for gothic lolitas, and she really reminds me of Suigintou from Rozen Maiden. Thanks to Cyan for sending this!

Angel Beats!: Shiina

A female ninja who specializes in dual-wielding kodachi and shuriken, Shiina  rarely speaks, but is well-known for her remark “how shallow-minded” which she uses whenever something obvious or stupid is said. Despite her serious demeanor, she has a weakness for cute things and can be very self-critical when she fails. She can sense danger coming and is a highly capable fighter.

Philippine cosplayer Nichan Solano makes an excellent Shiina! Really love the setting and lighting of this photo. Thanks to Michan for sending this in!

Sailor Moon R: Moonlight Knight

At the end of the first arc, everyone’s memories were hidden so that Tsukino Usagi’s wish to become a normal girl could be granted. Such was the case for Chiba Mamoru but he subconsciously still wanted to protect Usagi so strongly that his memories separated from him and reformed into the Moonlight Knight. Although Moonlight Knight can co-exist with Mamoru in the same space and time, Moonlight Knight rejoined Mamoru when he regained his memories and Moonlight Knight disappeared forever.

Impressive cosplay! I didn’t think there were still a lot of fans from this meta series, but seeing Raven cosplayed Moonlight Knight in Sakura Con 2010, I guess I was wrong. Thanks to Rachael Masako for sharing this!

Lucky Star: Hiiragi Kagami 02

Despite her annoyance with Konata's constant references to her otaku interests, Kagami is quite knowledgeable with anime and games, preferring light novels over manga. She tends to fret about her weight even though she has no willpower in controlling her eating habits. Although she and Konata are often seen arguing, Kagami has a strong attachment to Konata and is almost always willing do favors for her.

Cosplayer Kanda Midori makes a great Kagamin! This Miko outfit really suits her character as well. I don’t remember an episode from the series showing Kagami as a shrine maiden though, do you? Thanks to Wendy for suggesting this!

Dance in the Vampire Bund: Mina Ţepeş

The current ruler of the Vampire world, Mina tends to act aggressive and cocky despite feeling very lonely deep down. She cares for the welfare of her people very much and will do anything in her power to protect her kind. She also sympathizes with the Fangless, creating a city underneath the Bund where they can live freely without persecution.

Cosplayer Koyuki makes an excellent Mina! I really love the ribbons on her hair. Thanks to Kanririn for sending this!
