by Jan Kurotaki Visit an anime convention anywhere in the North America and you'll see them everywhere: fans dressed up in the costumes of their favorite characters, acting out their roles and assuming their personalities. In Japan, where cosplay was born, the scene is even hotter, with professional cosplayers modeling at events and selling their photo albums. Renowned cosplayer and beloved Newtype USA columnist Jan Kurotaki has been covering the circuit for almost 10 years. Collected here are her photos and columns, along with exclusive photos never published in the pages of the magazine. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Harried, harassed, and harangued - that's Shinji Ikari's life in a nutshell. Still, his days are fairly typical for a Tokyo teenager: he's got a pushy pal in Asuka who rudely rouses him whenever he's running late for school, and he's surrounded by the standard assortment of high school goofballs. In fact, everything's just as you'd expect, until one day when Shinji bumps into a strange girl he's never seen before, and she promptly accuses him of peeking up her skirt! But that's not the worst of it. Strange dreams have been haunting his sleep lately-dreams of a robotic 'other' just beyond the horizon. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
