I love Yuki's character, and he's always been one of my favorites in Furuba. He's definitely the most relatable to me, and I love that he is one of the most-developed characters in the manga in terms of growth. It makes me sad that I just barely missed being Year of the Rat...

CONSTRUCTION NOTES: I made the shirt and tie for this costume off a fairly simple pattern that I drew out. Arkadia, who cosplayed Haru with me, styled the wig (I made her shirt, so it was a trade). Although I loved that wig, the costume always felt so plain to me. I'd planned to make more Yuki outfits until I started cosplaying Rin and enjoying it more, and then sacrificed the wig for another costume.
