I borrowed my friend's copy of the manga, which is actually in English so I can understand 100% of it, and it solidified my desire to do this costume. Once I finish things I've promised to do for photoshoots, I can go back to this one - hopefully I can get it done for AnimeFest '08 with a couple of friends as Alice and Mayura.

I have a lot of fabric for this sitting in my fabric box (including an extremely sexy and soft green pleather for the pants), as well as most of the other items needed to complete it - I just need to get around to it.
