Finally a photo of my Mai Cosplay, which I already made and debuted more than one year ago ^^; (and I still wear my old shoes in this photo, now I have way better shoes for this Cosplay)


I just love Mai! She's so awesome, strong and funny, and so beautiful! So I really wanted to cosplay her ^^
The Kanon school uniform is really cute too, I love that design!
I'm really happy with how my costume turned out, I'm pretty much satisfied :) I had some problem with choosing the right red fabric, but I like the one I finally chose. And the skirt turned out to be a little bit too short, but well can't change that...
Also this was my first time to lengthen a wig, because I couldn't find a very long one in the right color. But I really wanted to have a very long wig, because I just love Mai's long hair ;) So I bought some black and some blue synthetic hair and worked it into my beautiful wig. It's not perfect, but I like the result ^^
The sword was made together with my father, he made the basic construction for me, and I made the details on the handle and painted it. I so love my sword *___*
Overall I just love how everything turned out, and until know it's definately one of my favourite Cosplays :) And I love Cosplays with weapons or other accessoires, makes posing easier :D
I first wore this Cosplay on Saturday at the Bookfair in Leipzig 2009. I also wore it on a small Cosplay event and a shooting in April 2009 in Kyoto, Japan, and on Saturday at AnimagiC 2009.


Character: Mai Kawasumi
Series: Kanon

You gotta wonder how the girls at that school survive wearing these uniforms in the winter, lol! It looks like a jacket, but they have to go barelegged. I think whoever designed them was thinking more about looking at girls' underwear on the stairs, rather than how the girls will feel outside in a blizzard or sitting on the cold classroom chairs...

Oh well, at least us guys get nice warm pants!

Haha yeah you're right, it's not really suited as a winter uniform :D Still the girls could just wear some kind of warm tights, but it seems they prefer going barelegged...

Totally awesome! Well done! I got a tattoo of Mai a year or so ago.

You really know Mai well, I can see. I relate to her so much on many deep levels.
