Cosplay Girls: Japan's Live Animation Heroines
Editorial Reviews Book Description What is she wearing?!? All over Japan, hard-core fans of animation, video games, and manga comics are hitting the streets in their latest cosplay (short for costume play) outfits-- especially women! Devotees spend countless hours and hard-earned yen transforming themselves into their favorite characters and strutting their stuff at conventions, parks, and clubs. Inside, you'll find street-fighting tough chicks, emerald-haired princesses, spunky school girls, and faux-fur kittens. Cosplay Girls is a peek into Japan's wacky wanna-be subculture with all its glitter, glue, posing, and preening. About the Author Essai Ushijima is a 30 year veteran of the cosplay scene.
