Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: Kashiwazaki Sena

The wealthy blond daughter of the school’s head teacher, Sena has a dislike of all things that are “ordinary” in her opinion. Although both attractive and academically successful, her arrogance only led her to be disliked by her female peers. She also has a tendency to treat her male classmates as servants to be used, although many of them would like to be her boyfriend. Hasegawa Kodaka is the only person she holds to a higher standard.

Cute cosplay by Asae Ayato! I really love the butterfly pin she has on her hair. Thanks to Teal for sending this in!

LovePlus / Arakawa Under the Bridge: Takane Manaka and Nino

Alright guys, here’s another “unknown” for you, because I’ve given up trying to figure this one out.

I know the girl on the left is Takane Manaka from LovePlus, but as for the other girl(?) beside her, I’m about as clueless as it gets. There’s not a lot of information with regards to this game, so she might be a minor character unlisted in wikipedia. Then again, she could just as easily be from a completely different series.

So how about it? Any ideas? Thanks to Yuri for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to satori-chan for letting me know this is Nino from Arakawa Under the Bridge!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Nene and Kolko

Some time before World War II approached, China and Russia wound up on the same side. For some reason, Russia stalked China frequently and was also often partnered with him. Russia’s “special interest” in China is one of the reasons for his extreme paranoia.

China’s female version is often nicknamed “Nene” or “Wang Chun-Yan”. Russia’s female version, on the other hand, has several nicknames including Kolko, Lucy, Roshiko, Anya Braginskaya, Ivanna, Inna, and Irina.

I’ll just use Nene and Kolko for Cosplay Holic. What do you guys think? Thanks again to Yukino for sending this in!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 08

Arturia Pendragon ruled Britain from her stronghold in Camelot and earned a reputation of a just, yet distant king. She was guided by Merlin and supported by her Knights of the Round Table; giving her the wisdom and power to guide Britain into an era of peace and tranquility.

When her sword Caliburn was destroyed, she acquired her holy sword, Excalibur, and blessed sheath, Avalon, from Vivian. While Avalon was in her possession, Arturia did not age and became immortal in battle.

Macross Frontier: Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome 02

On the Macross timeline, Macross Frontier is set in the year 2059; that’s 47 years after the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross, 19 years after Macross Plus, and 14 years after Macross 7. The series featured the 25th New Macross-class Colonial Fleet, dubbed the “Macross Frontier”, en route to the galactic center. The heavily populated interstellar fleet contained a makeup of both humans and their Zentradi allies.

Cute cosplayers from Comiket 78! Can someone please tell me what Ranka is holding? I’ve yet to actually watch this series. Thanks to Uzuri for sending this in!

Touhou Project: Cirno 03

In the events that occurred in Touhou Hisoutensoku, Cirno has matured, albeit slightly, from her usual childish behavior. Cirno was intrigued by what she believed to be the great Daidarabotchi. She hoped that she could tame the giant yokai so that she would no longer be afraid of anything. However, she admitted that she could not defeat the Daidarabotchi if it lives in the hot spring’s boiler as it is too hot for her.

Cute cosplay from Comiket 78! She even has a pair of cute wings on her back, but I still wouldn’t mess with her. I wonder who that character is, sitting behind her? Thanks to Olive for sending this in!

Tenjou Tenge: Natsume Maya, Natsume Aya, Isuzu Emi, and Kuzunoha Mana

When Nagi Souchirou and Bob Mikahara came to Toudou Academy, they intended to rule the school by beating up anyone who got in their way, just like they had done in previous schools. Little did they know that Toudou was no ordinary school; it was founded to teach and integrate different fighting styles and some of its students posses supernatural abilities such as pyrokinesis, precognition, and superhuman strength. After an altercation with the Executive Club, Souchirou and Bob join the only surviving club that dares to oppose them: the Juken Club.

Although I know this is from Tenjou Tenge, I have no idea who these girls are. Anyone care to shed some light into their identities please? Thanks to Paula for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Cze for commenting and identifying who these girls are!

Usagi learned that she will be given the title “Sovereign of Earth” and Chiba Mamoru will become King Endymion alongside her.

Vocaloid 2: Kamui Gakupo and Megurine Luka

Amae mo shitto mo yorokobi ni kaete
Turn spoiled behavior and jealousy into joy

Motomeru bakari ja tsumaranai kara
Because doing nothing but seeking is boring

Tsukinai yasashiisa wo ageru
I'll give you unending tenderness

DA KARA kimi wo kaesanai
SO I'm not sending you back

Translated by Naru Monster

Another really cute cosplay by JL and her boyfriend, Kyo-suke! It’s so sweet that they have the same interests in cosplay. They look cute together, wouldn’t you agree? Thanks again to JL for allowing me to feature this!

Neon Gensis Evangelion: Soryu Asuka Langley and Ayanami Rei

Although Asuka started out with a high synchronization ratio and exceptional skills as an Eva pilot, her defeat in battle by the Angel Zeruel caused her self-confidence to dwindle, losing her effectiveness as a pilot. Asuka became infuriated when she was ordered to serve as Rei’s backup, and decided to launch herself in Unit 02 to attack the Angel alone. She paid the price for her recklessness, however, as she was overwhelmed by its attack, forcing her to relive painful memories which resulted in a mental and emotional breakdown.

A very lovely cosplay of Asuka by Kanda Midori and an equally stunning Rei! Too bad we have no idea who Rei’s cosplayer is. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Cabbage Merchant and Ty Lee

Ty Lee is a cheerful and energetic girl who is close friends with Princess Azula and Mai. She specializes in hand-to-hand combat, utilizing a unique form of martial arts that attacks the pressure points on the human body. Striking certain points enables her to disrupt that person’s chi flow, temporarily paralyzing them and removing their ability to use bending.

Why she’s decided to pick on the Cabbage Merchant is known only to the cosplayer, idunno123! It’s very seldom that I’d come across athletic cosplayers like her, so I definitely had to feature her! Please visit her Deviant Art Gallery for more of her cosplays!

Rozen Maiden: Suiseiseki 05

When Suiseiseki made Jun form a contract with her, she used Souseiseki's ring which allowed Souseiseki to break free from Kirakishou's control. However, she was incomplete as she lacked her Rosa Mystica which was in Suigintou’s possession. In the end, Suiseiseki gave her own Rosa Mystica to save her beloved sister.

Awesome cosplay by Hina-desu! She really looks like a doll thanks to MPZero’s mad photography skills. Thanks to Reign for sending this!
