Kagome Higurashi – Inu-Yasha

First worn: Anime Expo 2013

I have many friends who are Rumiko Takahashi fans and love series like Ranma Β½ and Maison Ikkoku, but I never could get into those series. I loved the Mermaid Saga and found Urusei Yatsura amusing, but I wasn’t really a BIG fan of any of her series… until Inu-Yasha. I remember I was SO excited when I first started reading Inu-Yasha. I was excited about Kagome because I thought she was really cute! A friend warned me that since it’s Rumiko Takahashi, and with a premise like β€œgem shattered into thousands of pieces and we have to find them”, that the series would be extremely long and drawn out… but I still liked it! AND I ACTUALLY READ THE WHOLE THING. AND IT WAS GOOD. It’s probably the only long series I’ve ever completed. The characters were just so cute and charming, I found myself always wanting to know what happens next! I love Inu-Yasha as a character too. <3 I still have not watched a single episode of the anime. I’m not sure I have the patience, because you can only watch so fast….

I was never 100% happy with my sailor uniforms from before, so I took this opportunity to pattern a new sailor uniform top, after having learned how to properly pattern-draft at FIDM. My mom sewed the costume for me though!
