First and foremost, let me introduce some basic elements of Cosplay. The four basic components are cosplayers, social settings, fictional characters, and the costume (Nesic, 2013). Cosplayers are usually a group of people who are fond of anime or manga as well as like to act like the characters. This book looks not only at the costume itself and how to get or make one, but where to wear it, how you should act and expect others to act towards you, and things you should know before you set a costumed foot outside your home. Read it from front to back or jump to the section that interests you most. Want to know how to cosplay? The essentials of cosplay are here.
