Enako, Japan’s most famous cosplayer, appears in this week’s edition of Monthly Action cosplaying Tohru from Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid.
But not without some controversy: some fans complained that the cosplay is disrespectful to the character and property, causing a bit of a flare up online.
In response, Enako tweeted that she herself did not come up with the costume, and that it was simply a job she was hired to do. It’s just business, y’know?
The editors of the magazine released a statement that said something to the same effect: it ain’t Enako’s fault, we came up with the costume on our side, and it was designed so that even people who don’t know the original property can enjoy.
For my part, I didn’t even realize what the problem was at first, but going back to the original, it seems Tohru’s actual clothing is a bit more conservative. Still, c’mon, is this that big of a deal? Let us know what you think.
