Particularly since English-speaking fans began to recognize and adopt Japanese anime culture and since American comic culture permeated mainstream culture roughly in the early 2000s, the Japanese fascination with “costume play” has spread globally. Anime and comic book conventions in America are now hotspots for enthusiastic individuals to garb themselves in the elaborate costumes of fantasy and comic characters. The hobby has emerged with such passionate vehemence that it’s even spawned a cable television show. Recognizing the intense & widespread interest in this immersive, interactive facet of comic culture, One Peace Books has translated Cosplay Basics: A Beginners Guide to the Art of Costume Play (Hajimete Demo Anshin Cosplay Nyuumon). True to its title, the book is a thorough and informative walkthrough that introduces seemingly every aspect of “cosplay” to readers who are intrigued but inexperienced with the hobby.Written and illustrated by veteran Japanese cosplayers Yuki Takasou and Rumine, the 200 page book comes from an experienced insider’s perspective, written from the world’s heart of costume play practice. The thorough “bible” to cosplay begins with explaining motivations to enter the realm of costume play then proceeds to provide advice on specific topics including varieties of cosplay (fantasy characters, uniforms, social fashions), purchasing or making costumes and props, applying makeup, selecting and participating in appropriate conventions, joining the online cosplay fan community, and even self-promotion.
