Saki: Haramura Nodoka

The previous year’s National Middle School Individual Champion in mahjong, Haramura Nodoka’s skill comes from practicing via online mahjong. She has the ability to view mahjong tables digitally in her mind, ignoring the other player which gives her an edge against players who can manipulate presence. Her nickname is “Nodocchi” which is also her screen name and her playing style; quickly and efficiently racking up points as fast as possible.

Cute cosplay by Kanda Midori! I could use and ice cream right now with summer just around the corner for us in Asia! Thanks to Lilica for suggesting this!

To Aru Majustsu no Index: Index Librorum Prohibitorum

A young nun from a branch of the Church of England, Necessarius, Index has been implanted with the 103,000 magical texts of the Index Librorum Prohibitum (“List of Prohibited Books”) because of her photographic memory. This makes magicians wonder if Index is even human because one grimoire is poisonous to the mind and could even possibly kill a person, let alone thousands. Her sorcery name is Dedicatus545, "The devoted lamb that protects the knowledge of the strong."

Another beautiful cosplay by Kanda Midori! Although Wikipedia says Index has thigh-length, silvery-blue hair, I think we can overlook this minor detail. I mean, long wigs are hard to keep well-styled after all. Thanks again to Edward for sending this in!

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun: Misaka Mikoto

Mikoto was discovered as a Level 1 Electromaster, espers with the ability to generate and control electricity, when she was still a young girl. She enrolled in Academy City to train herself, working very hard until she was ranked a Level 5, becoming the third strongest among seven in this rank. Her ability to shoot projectiles such as coins at high, destructive speeds earned her the nickname, “The Railgun”.

Stunning cosplay by Kanda Midori! I love how clean yet effective this photo is in portraying Mikoto. Thanks to Zerina for sending this!

Lucky Star: Hiiragi Kagami 02

Despite her annoyance with Konata's constant references to her otaku interests, Kagami is quite knowledgeable with anime and games, preferring light novels over manga. She tends to fret about her weight even though she has no willpower in controlling her eating habits. Although she and Konata are often seen arguing, Kagami has a strong attachment to Konata and is almost always willing do favors for her.

Cosplayer Kanda Midori makes a great Kagamin! This Miko outfit really suits her character as well. I don’t remember an episode from the series showing Kagami as a shrine maiden though, do you? Thanks to Wendy for suggesting this!

Ore no Imoto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai: Kosaka Kirino

A 14-year-old girl with an older brother complex, Kirino is quite mature for her age and has a modeling job to pay for her otaku hobbies. She loves her older brother, Kyosuke and often feels frustrated when he is with, or shows interests, in other girls. She thus forces Kyosuke to spend time with her, but generally denies the fact that she enjoys his company.

Such a cute cosplay by Kanda Midori! She looks so dreamy in this photo. Thanks to Nel for sending this!
