The cosplay I finished was Asahi Azumane, the ace of Karasuno High's volleyball team in the anime, Haikyuu!! Ya know, this cutie pie?
I'm really excited at how the cosplay is looking. His uniform, which I got for Christmas, is perfect.
I got all the necessary accessories including a headband, a knee pad, and a volleyball that looks exactly like the ones they have in the anime!
I decided that I didn't want to pay like $80 for a new pair of black and white sneakers so I'm using my normal sneakers. I figured that they're just shoes and no one's going to care anyway.
I put most of my time into the wig on this cosplay. Asahi has long hair and usually wears it up in a messy bun. Wigs and up-dos are probably the worst combination. Ponytails and tight bun are easy as you can just buy clip-on attachments. But it's a little harder to style a messy bun since no one thought it'd be a good idea to make those into clip-on. So I ended up buying a long wig and cutting it. Cutting wigs usually makes them itchier than they already are but I decided that I would just have to put up with it. I'm really happy with the results!
