Free!: Nanase Haruka and Tachibana Makoto 03

Rage on

眩しい光
brilliant light
鋭く目を背ける一瞬へ
Stay sharp and turn your eyes to the moment

the sun is blazing on my zealot
better nothing else to be
what I want

手にしたゼロは何だ?
what is the nothing that I got?

find delight in this siren

“Rage On” by Anime Lyrics

Don’t KumaQi and XiLou make a lovely pair of cosplayers for Free!? I wonder how they managed to get this shot… Did they hire a photographer or rent a pool? Maybe they used an underwater camera? Either way, it’s a very lovely photo! Thanks to Mica for sending this in!

Gintama: Hijikata Toushirou 02

“I just wanted the woman I love to be happy, that’s all.”

- Gintama Wiki

The son of a rich farmer and his mistress, Toushirou had always been considered an outsider by his family, save for his brother, Hijikata Tamegoro, who welcomed Toushirou into his home with open arms. When he was only 11, the Hijikata household was attacked by bandits during a large village fire. Tamegoro protected his brother, but unfortunately, he ended up losing his eyes. Driven by rage, Toushirou unconsciously attacked the bandits, injuring their eyes the same way they did to Tamegoro. Toushirou’s other siblings witnessed the incident and ostracized Toushirou, calling him “Thorny Toshi”, forcing Toushirou to leave his home and become a ronin.

Cosplayer Xi Lou 76 makes quite an impressive Toushirou, wouldn’t you agree? Please visit his Facebook page for more of his work and support him! Thanks again to Aerie for sending this in!

Suki-tte Ii na yo: Tachibana Mei and Kurosawa Yamato

Source: 夕樓76 on Facebook

Tachibana Mei is a quiet and unassuming 16-year-old who has spent her high school years keeping to herself. Although she used to be very sociable before, an incident that happened during her childhood left her believing that people will betray each other sooner or later.

However, when she encountered the very popular Kurosawa Yamato, he took an interest in her, and even gave her his phone number. This is how their relationship began and how Mei slowly decided to befriend others once more.

Cute cosplay by +Asuka+ as Mei and Xi Lou as Yamato! That is quite a height difference, but absolutely perfect for the characters. Thanks to Kate for sending this in!
