Awsoo~ome, I love that coat. I'd want one for myself, but I'd probably get weird looks... Actually, the symbol is Buddhist, not Jewish. It states so in the manga itself.

Thanks

You're right you probably would get weird looks

Maybe my description was a little unclear (i'm forever being unclear about my meaning, i know what i mean i just never seem to use the right words )

I knew it was a buddhist symbol originally, i actually considered taking a print out of the manji symbols explanation and carrying it around with me at the convention i wore it at, but i didn't have much of a problem i was only recognised by three or so people

I wore a coat over it when i walked up the public street to the convention site though!

awwww, awesome, a Manji cosplayer! ^__^ Blade of the Immortal is one of my very favorite manga.

i just have to make one suggestion- i'm pretty sure Manji's kimono sleeves aren't that long. I don't think guy's kimono have the hanging, detached sleeves, either (They're supposed to look more like the these here: [link] ). It's hard to find ref in the manga (since Manji never oblijingly stands still with his arms out... >_< but there's a pretty good picture near the end of volume 1, on the page titled "Genius."

But anyhow, awesome costume!

Yeah it's weird;

his sleeves seem to change depending on which picture you look at >__<

here:

he has the long sleeves

but here:

[link]

he has the ones you mentioned

i had to choose one or the other y'know

Thanks for liking it i think if i was to do another blade of the immortal cosplay it would probably be Magatsu or Eiku Shizuma (though i don't really want to do cosplay that includes waraji for a while -___-) oh yeah if i could i'd love to do a cosplay of Shira with his 'arm weapon'

shira's arm weapon is psychotic and creepy! o_O would be really fun to cosplay, though. If only one could temporarily remove one's limbs or something. XD

Hmm, good reference. I was too lazy to look through anything besides volume one. >_> Either way, your costume looks awesome, and you can place all the blame for any confusion squarely on the artist.
