Mikuru Asahina (コスプレ 朝比奈 みくる)

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱)

Mikuru! She's a battle waitress from the future and will protect us all!

As soon as I saw the very first epidode of this series, I knew I wanted to make this costume. It's just so... silly. Poor little Mikuru always gets roped into the craziest things, huh?

This is the first of what I'm sure will be a couple more Mikuru costumes. Froggy costume, I'm coming for you! Afterall, her outfits are lots of fun and very easy to make. It's a good break from some of the insane things you see me sewing!

The first round of pictures are from the wonderful Laura of just-a-dream.net, taken at AX 2007. Believe me, there's more, it's just that this naughty little citrus still has to go through them all! For example, there's a really cool shoot from David from Anime Boston, too!

Enjoy!
