Rise of the Guardians: Jack Frost 02

rise of the guardians cosplay - jack frost 2

Jack Frost was lifted from a frozen pond by the Man in the Moon. Upon his awakening, he discovered that he not only had amnesia, but no one could see, hear, or touch him. He spent centuries in isolation, questioning why the Man in the Moon brought him into being, until one day, he was chosen to become one of the Guardians.

This photo looks so pretty! Jack Frost was arguably one of my favorite characters in the movie, second only to Sandy the Sandman. Thanks to Kimberly for sending this in!

Naruto: Shippuden: Konan and Pain

naruto cosplay - konan and painNagato, who is also known as “Pain” was the recognized leader of Akatsuki and Amegakure. He is referred to as “Leader” by all Akatsuki members, with the exception of his partner, Konan. Nagato used his deceased teammate, Yahiko as the Deva Path, which grants the user the ability to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces with objects and people.

This looks really great! Especially Pain’s Rinnegan! Wearing contact lenses like that can’t be all that comfortable. Thanks again to Mila for sending this in!

Darkstalkers: Lilith Aensland 03

darkstalkers cosplay - lilith aensland 3The body Lilith received from Jedah was the image of what Lilith wanted to be - an imitation of Morrigan, but she couldn’t become Morrigan completely. Fans speculated that her childish look possibly comes from her own feelings of not being a perfect existence, like a girl who has yet to become a woman. However, it is said what with the right amount of power and belief, Lilith could even become a man if she wished to become one with Morrigan.

Well there’s an idea… Lilith as a man might be a great start for a new fan fiction. Although if that were to really happen in the game, fans might either be disappointed or very supportive. Thanks to Janice for sending this in!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Takano Masamune 03

sekai-ichi hatsukoi cosplay - takano masamune 3

The Editor-in-Chief of Emerald Department in Marukawa, Takano Masamune could be described as legendary among his peers for resurrecting an already dying magazine. He is sometimes referred to as “the capable” or even “monster” because he is a perfectionist who has a good eye for shoujo manga and excellent editing skills. Although Onodera Ritsu declared that he has no feelings for him, Takano promises Ritsu that he will make him fall in love with him again.

That is one of the most beautiful cosplays of Takano I have yet seen! Looks like he’s got a lot editing work to do, but I’m sure Takano can handle it! Thanks again to Toki for sharing this!

Vampire Knight: Yuki Cross and Kuran Kaname 03

vampire knight cosplay - yuuki cross and kuran kaname 3Shortly after Zero’s arrival into the Cross household, Yuki accidentally witnessed Kaname feeding blood off of Ruka. This changed the closeness they once shared as Yuki is reminded of the difference between humans and vampires. Now keenly aware that her feelings for him were futile, Yuki chose to distance herself from Kaname, admiring him only from afar.

I really liked the start of this series, and I wish they had ended up together instead of Zero entering the picture, but I guess I can always satisfy myself with cosplays like these as well as the many fanfics all over the internet. Thanks to Mica for sending this in!

uta no prince-sama cosplay - shinomiya satsuki and natsuki

あなたのため僕は歌う
I sing for you
捧げるこの愛
Devoted to this love
変わりたくて 変われなかった
Wanting to change, unable to change
このハートにサヨナラ…
Farewell, my heart…

そして僕は シリウスより
So I want to shine
そう強く 輝きたいんだ
Even more brightly than Sirius
永遠を…ねぇ誓わせて
Hey, let me pledge… eternally,

I need your love

“Oath to Sirius”
Lyrics by moon5200402
Translation by ☽ Moonlit Sanctuary ☾

Oh wow! Akatsuki Tsukasa and Tsuguru Ka (亞可) look amazing as Satsuki and Natsuki! I can’t stop staring at this photo… I think I might even use it for my desktop wallpaper! Thanks to Kristine for sharing this!

Gintama: Sakata Gintoki 04

gintama cosplay - sakata gintoki 4Although Gintoki is well-known for his comedic nature, he has a serious, emotional side to him as well. He may jokingly act like a coward most of the time and attempt to leave his friends behind when his own life is is danger, but he is actually very protective of his friends and is willing to risk his life for them. Gintoki is also extremely afraid of ghosts and, despite being sensitive to their presence, will often times deny their existence.

This looks amazing! Even if it’s just a head shot, you can really feel the character’s emotion through the photo! Thanks to Rachelle for sending this in!

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!: Ayuzawa Misaki and Usui Takumi

kaichou wa maid-sama! cosplay - ayuzawa misaki and usui takumiDuring his second year at Seika High, Usui Takumi became interested in the first female student council president, Ayuzawa Misaki. He learned her secret of working part-time at a maid cafe, and Misaki became suspiciou that his interest in her is mainly due to his intents on blackmailing her. As a result, despite telling her many times that he loves her, Misaki refuses to accept his feelings, dismissing his behavior as a joke or a form of sexual harassment.

I can’t believe I only had one cosplay feature from this series! It’s one of my favorites so far, so I guess I better start hunting! Thanks to Jill for sending this!

One Piece: Perona

one piece cosplay - peronaConfident and strong-willed, Perona is the former “Wild Zombies” and “Surprise Zombies Commander” of Thriller Bark before the collapse of Gekko Moriah’s zombie army. Despite her cute looks, she normally speaks using a very masculine language. Nevertheless, she adores cute things, and will only allow someone to work for her if they are cute.

This feature is so pink that my eyes are hurting. But now I know who this character is! I’ve been seeing her around conventions lately, so I’ll be sure to snap a few photos when I can! Thanks again to Mila for sending this in!

Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi: Kisa Shota and Yukina Kou 02

sekai-ichi hatsukoi cosplay - kisa shota and yukina kou 2

Although he is already 30-years-old, Kisa Shota claims he has never actually fallen in love with anyone before. He knows that he has a tendency of falling for someone just for their good looks, and thus immediately develops a crush on Yukina Kou when he saw him in Marimo Books. After Kisa was introduced to Yukina by Yokozawa Takafumi from the sales department, Yukina becomes very interested in Kisa as he is the editor of the shoujo manga books that he likes the most.

To those who’ve seen the series, you probably know where this scene in from, but who’s to say what’s really happening behind that sketchbook, right? Thanks to again to Toki for sharing this!
