Higuri You-sensei creates such beautiful manga. Every one I read, I love more than the one before it. Unfortunately, as far as cosplay goes, I haven't really found any characters that are a good match for me. All of the characters I've considered have felt wrong for one reason or another (a lot of the reasons, however, were "I couldn't do [insert character name here] justice!", which usually doesn't stop me from boarishly continuing on. Only Higuri-sensei and a few other mangaka have such a power over me).

This year, I'm participating in a series of Madrigal choral performances for the Christmas season. When the phrase "You have to supply your own costume" came at our first rehearsal, my last wall of resistance was broken! ^_^
