My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

Everyone was puzzled when Ohno said that the suitcase was the most important thing. What does the suitcase have to do with cosplay?

"Hmph, don't underestimate the power of a suitcase. Cosplay outfits and props usually add up to a lot. You can't possibly go to the convention with all those bags, can you? Besides, if you want to buy things at the convention, you won't be able to take anything with you without a suitcase."

At this moment, editor Sasahara and others began to answer questions for everyone.

"In fact, when we first went to a comic convention, we regretted not bringing our suitcases."

"Back then, we spent the whole day at the convention center with all our bags and bags, and we almost ran out of people."

"If you have a suitcase, you can pack all these things and take them with you."

After hearing their seniors' explanations, Naoto and the others understood why suitcases were considered the most important thing; without them, life would be unbearable.

In fact, of all these things, wigs seem to be the least important. This is thanks to Nanzi's brainwashing of people all over the world, making them feel no surprise at all for those strange hairstyles.

Therefore, for most people, cosplaying characters doesn't require wigs at all.

………………

"By the way, who are you all planning to cosplay this time?"

After tidying up their things, the group, now with some free time, began to talk about the characters they were cosplaying.

Because Naoto and Moritaka were both very busy, they did not participate in the cosplay, but everyone else participated.

"Yukino, who are you planning to cosplay?"

"Hmm, I'm quite interested in this person named Kuroyukihime. She seems quite similar to me, and I'd like to give it a try."

When asked by her seniors, Yukino pointed to an anime character.

It has to be said that the person Yukino chose is exactly like Yukino herself.

These two are practically identical, like sisters.

In fact, many people suspect that the character of Kuroyukihime was used as a reference when Yukino was created.

They share the same rich girl attributes, the same long, straight black hair, and even the same flat chest... Moreover, their names also contain the character "snow," and crucially, they both have a strange older sister.

In other words, Yukino only needs to wear one of Kuroyukihime's clothes to look exactly like Kuroyukihime; she's practically a clone of herself.

"And what about Mai-senpai?"

"As for me... what about Sankarea? I was quite moved when I first saw this anime."

Speaking of Sanka Rea, she is also a classic image of long, straight black hair.

The story revolves around a young woman who, unable to bear the death of her father's eldest daughter, is turned into a zombie by the male protagonist. In the end, the male and female protagonists support each other and eventually get together.

In fact, this person is extremely similar to Mai.

It seems that both Yukino and Mai have done a lot of research on the roles they want to play.

The images they both chose are quite classic.

"Hachiman and Yukino have already made their choices, so what about you? How about you play the role of a certain fat pig?"

"Get lost! Ugly! No way!"

After hearing the advice of a certain mischievous friend, Hachiman decisively chose to refuse.

How could someone like that possibly cosplay?

"So, how about we try this?"

At this moment, Naoto took out another figure from his pocket.

"this is……?"

Chapter 202: Preparations, Heading to the Summer Festival!

She has naturally curly white hair, red eyes, and lifeless, fish-like eyes. Her clothing is usually black trousers and a white kimono with blue flowers over them, and she always carries a wooden sword with the words "Lake Toya" on it at her waist.

He is usually lazy and unrestrained, but when faced with a challenge, his composure and strength are awe-inspiring, and his beliefs gradually influence those around him. He is gentle and considerate, and quickly forgets things he dislikes, so he often doesn't remember people he has met or had conflicts with.

Although he was once known as the White Demon, he is now just a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being decadent, dispirited, or颓废) middle-aged man.

Those dead fish eyes seemed to hold endless stories.

This is Sakata Gintoki, a charming man.

"Even so, you want me to cosplay this man? Is that really okay?"

"Or you could dress up as a female version of Gintoki. Do you want to wear women's clothes? We should have enough clothes for you here."

"Fuck off!"

Although Hachiman himself didn't really want to participate in this cosplay event, he had already promised Yukino. Even Yukino was participating, so there was no reason for Hachiman to avoid it.

"Uncle it is, but it looks like he'll have to wear a wig."

"Actually, if you dye your hair white, you'll look almost exactly like Gintoki."

“If that happens, my parents will kill me.”

Hachiman didn't want to hear a single word of his friend Naoto's suggestion.

However, speaking of which, the character Gintoki is quite similar to him.

Among the anime recommended by Naoto and others, I quite liked Hachiman, this uncle full of mystery and stories.

In some ways, cosplaying a character is not bad at all.

"Well, Eriri, you're the only one missing. Have you decided what you're going to cosplay?"

"Ah I?"

"Yes, I'm talking about you. Didn't you already have your work ready? You've had time to cosplay it, right?"

"How could I possibly cosplay? No way, absolutely not!"

Eriri felt weak at the thought of having to wear embarrassing clothes to participate in cosplay or something.

How could I possibly do something like that?

"Eri, come on over."

"Yeah, yeah, everyone's here, Eriri, come too! Cosplay is so much fun."

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Eriri could only scratch her head and say, "But I haven't decided who I want to cosplay yet."

Seeing that Eriri was already somewhat interested, Naoto said, "Actually, I originally wanted Eriri to cosplay Naruko, but I still think characters like Sanzenin Nagi or Yami would be more suitable."

"Naruko? Who's that?"

"Of course it's Naruko Uzumaki, but Eriri isn't big-breasted, is she?"

"Haha, that's true."

"You bunch of bastards! I've made up my mind, I'm going to cosplay Sanae Dekomori!"

"Oh, as expected of Eriri. Alright then, everything's already prepared for you."

Then Naoto pulled out a set of clothes from behind his back; it was Sanae's outfit.

Seeing the smirking faces of the people around her, it was clear that this group had been prepared and was just waiting for her to jump in.

"Damn it, you guys are so mean! Nanzi-chan, your boyfriend is bullying me!"

At this moment, Eriri, who was heartbroken, turned around and hugged Nanako tightly, even rubbing her face against Nanako's chest.

"Hey! Eriri, that's going too far! I've never done that before!"

"Hmph, who told you to keep bullying me? Just you wait, one day I'll steal Nanzi away from you!"

"Haha, these people are really energetic."

The members of Genshiken looked at the noisy Naoto and the others and couldn't help but smile knowingly, thinking back to when they were still in Genshiken, they seemed to be just as happy.

But after graduating from school, everyone has their own life, and the happiness of the past seems to be gone.

"So, Nanzi-chan, who are you planning to cosplay this time?"

"This is a secret."

"secret?"

"Well, you'll find out when the time comes."

Seeing that Nanzi didn't seem to want to say who she was going to cosplay, no one pressed her for details.

Time gradually passed, and it was time for the summer festival to begin.

Comic Market is Japan's largest comic convention, and even the world's largest comic convention, attracting tens of thousands of attendees every year.

Summer Comi is usually held from the second Friday to Sunday of August each year, while Winter Comi is held for 2-3 days on December 28th and 31st, both at Tokyo Big Sight, located in Ariake, Koto-ku, Tokyo.

As an annual holy war, the number of people on the first day is arguably the largest.

Even though Naoto and the others had arrived at the scene at seven in the morning, they were still stunned by the sheer number of people in front of them.

"Is this what they call a holy war?! There must be over ten thousand people here by now!"

"This is only in the morning. I wonder how many people there will be when the comic convention starts."

"In fact, every year's comic conventions receive more than 100,000 people, so don't underestimate them."

When they heard editor Sasahara say that the convention would be attended by more than 100,000 people, everyone was taken aback.

One hundred thousand people, which is almost more than the population of some small cities.

"Luckily, we have a special entrance for staff, otherwise, we don't know how long we would have had to wait in line."

Seeing the queue stretching from the venue all the way to who-knows-where, everyone couldn't help but shudder. If they had to wait in that line, their legs would probably be killing them.

"Hurry up and take the stuff in. Don't think it's easy just because you don't have to queue. There's so much stuff, it'll take some time to organize it."

At this moment, Naoto patted Hachiman and Sakuta on the shoulder.

Now that the girls are all getting ready to change, all the necessary artworks and books have to be placed inside the exhibition hall.

This kind of physical labor is what they really need to do.

Looking at the van full of books and various props, Hachiman and Sakuta couldn't help but sigh.

If they had known, they should have sent these things in earlier. Now look what happened, they'll probably be exhausted by the time they finish moving all this stuff.
