While attending undercover at ball hosted by the Viscount of Druitt, Ciel Phantomhive managed to catch the Viscount’s attention and flirted with him in the hopes of finding out what his plans were. However, while he was alone with the Viscount, Ciel lost consciousness, and later found himself being sold in a large underground auction. When the Viscount removed Ciel’s blindfold to show off his eyes, Ciel called for Sebastian Michaelis, who swiftly came to rescue his young master.

Absolutely stunning! And the umbrella adds a nice touch to Ciel’s attire. I only wish Sebastian was in his tutor’s clothing too! Thanks to Daniela for sending this in!

Saber Lily is an alternate version of Saber featured as an unlockable costume in Fate/Unlimited Codes. She is the pure and sweet “Princess of Knights”, a complete opposite of the blackened Saber Alter. Saber Lily is often depicted wielding the Caliburn rather than Excalibur in most of the game’s art.

A rather stunning photo of Chinese cosplayer, Coral Feng! The details of her cosplay along with the great photography really makes this look like it was official promotional material for Unlimited Codes. Thanks to Maya-chan for sending this in!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Furude Rika

First Found on: Otaku King on Facebook

Revered by the villagers as the heir of the local shrine, Furude Rika plays the role of a miko in the annual Watanagashi Festival. She has been the head of the Furude house since the death of her parents, but barely attends town meetings because she is so young. Nevertheless, Rika sometimes expresses a type of wisdom beyond her years, and is quite fond of sake.

Beautiful cosplay by Japanese cosplayer, Ruto! She looks so cute and innocent, just like Rika! Thanks to Kyle for sending this in!

Sword Art Online: Kirito 03

A few months after Sword Art Online began, Kirito decided to join a guild known as the “Black Cats of the Full Moon”. He decided to keep his level and status as one of the frontline clearers from his guild mates, possibly because he didn’t want them to know he was the infamous Black Swordsman. He became attached to Sachi, a fairly timid girl who harbored fear of the game and of dying.

Such a handsome cosplayer from Malaysia’s Comic Fiesta 2012! I love how he has both the Elucidator and the Dark Repulser in each hand. Thanks to photographer, Jimmy Cometa and Alisson for sending this in!

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: Kashiwazaki Sena 02

Kashiwazaki Sena enjoys playing dating sims and eroge video games partially because they allow her to make female friends even if they are only in the virtual world. She is generally fascinated by the girls in these games and has also taken a liking to Hasegawa Kobato, Kodaka’s younger sister. In addition, Kodaka has observed that she is the weirdest member of the Rinjin-bu club, as she is able to warrant weird and disgusted looks not only from Mikazuki Yozora and Kobato, but also from Kusunoki Yukimura and Shiguma Rika.

But Japanese cosplayer, Miiko’s cute face and features, it will be hard not to admire her! Thanks to Regan for sending this in!

SoniComi: Sonico 04

I think I may actually know this one, but I can’t be completely sure since I don’t know the game that well…

It looks to me that she might be Sonico from SoniComi, but that’s only basing it off of her pink hair and headphones. I don’t think I’ve seen artwork of her with a fur hoodie and blue cat ears. That’s pretty specific, unless this is the cosplayer’s original outfit for the character.

Then again, she can just as easily be Megurine Luka from Vocaloid 2, right?

I’m confused. Someone give me a vote of confidence!

EDIT: Thanks to Sans for letting me know this is Sonico from SoniComi!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 37

ハロ
Hello
窓を開けて 小さく呟いた
I opened the window, and softly whispered out

ハワユ
How are you?
誰もいない 部屋で一人
There’s no one here, I’m alone in the room

モーニン
Mornin’
朝が来たよ 土砂降りの朝が
The morning’s come, a morning of pouring rain

ティクタク
Tick-tock
私のネジを 誰か巻いて
Somebody, wind up my coil…

“Hello / How Are You”
Lyrics and Translation by: Vocalochu

Miku is probably one of the most cosplayed character out there! I think there may already be 40 Mikus in this blog alone, including Sakura Miku and Snow Miku. It would be interesting to see what other variations she’ll have in the near future! Thanks again to 2chmod for sending this in!

K-On!: Hirasawa Yui and Nakano Azusa

Source: Other worlds cosplay
After Nakano Azusa joined the Sakuragaoka Girl’s High School’s light music club, they gained more structure and started practicing more. She is the most mature and responsible in the bunch, but can be easily clamed down just by petting. Azusa is also constantly the victim of Hirasawa Yui’s “skinship”, being nicknamed “Azu-nyan” after she tried on a pair of cat ears and meowed.

They look absolutely adorable in this photo! Was there an episode when they had to wear maid outfits? Azusa doesn’t look very happy with what’s going on! Thanks to Walter for sending this in!

Guilty Gear XX: I-No

I-No is a sadistic and manipulative woman who has no qualms about hurting other people physically or mentally. She appears to be dedicated to “That Man”’s goals and ideals, whatever they may be, to the point where she altered reality at least once to make his objectives possible. I-No first debuted in the third game as a playable character and a boss of Guilty Gear XX.

Wow, that is one daring cosplay! I’ve always been amazed at how confident these girls are in costumes like this! Thanks to Mia for sending this in!

Voltron: Princess Fala

Source: Chickopolis on Facebook

Princess Fala (known as “Princess Allura” in the English translation) is the ruler of the Kingdom of Altea (aka “Arus”) and the de facto ruler of the entire planet. She inherited her authority from the late King Raimon (“King Alfor”) and is commander in chief and head of state for the planet Altea.

Princess Fala took over for Shirogane Takashi (“Sven”) as the pilot of the Blue Lion that forms Voltron’s right leg when he was sent away for medical treatment on the planet Ebb. She defers to Kogane Akira (“Keith”) during operational engagements.

This sure brings back a lot of great memories. I remember watching this in English when I was much younger, and Princess Allura was my favorite as she was the only female pilot among the five lion group. Thanks to Roman for sending this in!

Dead or Alive: Kasumi 06

When Kasumi was 17, her uncle, the rogue ninja Raidou returned to their village in order to obtain a ninpo spell used by the clan’s leaders known as the “Torn Sky Blast” technique. After managing to defeat Ayane, Raidou eventually mimicked the technique from Hayate, and rendered him both comatose and paraplegic before escaping. Kasumi was unfortunately not present during the attack and since no one told her about what had transpired between Hayate and Raidou, she did not know who attacked her brother until much later in the game.

Another amazing cosplay by Arisa Mizuhara! She sure has a lot of cosplays of different characters. I wonder how many costumes she now owns and keeps in her closet? Thanks to Jasmine for sending this in!

Toradora!: Aisaka Taiga 05

Aisaka Taiga generally has a negative attitude towards others and she doesn’t hesitate in snapping at people who annoy her. Takasu Ryuji was no exception as she instantly took a disliking to him when they first met. Be as it may, Taiga coincidentally lived in an apartment next to Ryuji’s house, and they ended up being closer friends than either which could have ever guessed.

Amazingly cute cosplay by Merino Moko! With a smile like that, I think she can easily win any guy’s heart, just like Taiga. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!
