Mikuru Asahina – The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

First worn: San Diego Comic-Con 2007

I didn’t actually like this series, but it had a few cute moments, and I already had fabric in all the right colors, so I thought this would be a fun costume to run around in. I thought Mikuru was the most likeable girl in the series, although she doesn’t really suit me. I learned the infamous ending dance not because I wanted to, but because a friend was asked to learn it for Anime Expo, so I helped her.
