Popular shoujo mangaka and aspiring sniper Mayu-tan (or Mayu Shinjo) has published a rather convincing picture of herself cosplaying K-ON!’s Yui Hirasawa.
That a 37-year-old is able to convincingly cosplay an 18-year-old certainly says something favourable about Mayu-tan’s looks – although pedants (and Mayu-tan herself) will note that the guitar is not 100% accurate.
True, her guitar is not accurate. Yui has a Gibson Les Paul Standard in Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, while Mayu-tan holds a Les Paul in Iced Tea finish, which is lighter and more yellow than Yui`s quite red one. But Gibson`s Iced Tea finish is a little lighter and less yellow than in guitar Mayu-tan is holding, so it probably is a Tokai Love Rock model, which is available in exactly same finish the photo is showing.
Pity we can`t see writing in the headstock.
Still, well done from her!
A bit too chubby for my taste…
Now if she could actually play that thing
THAT would hot,lol
Although judging by the way she’s holding it
(and common sense w/ cosplay models)
I seriously doubt it
THAT GUITAR IS THE WRONG ONE!!!
Oh, wait… She already said that… 😛
Still, way to go for this lady with her convincing cosplay. That’s something to respect. Even if she fails at sniping.
Of course she looks young here. Anyone looks young after a good photoshop, no? Look at her unshopped pictures and I guarantee that you’ll lose your erection.
