I had actually prepared for this Guangzhou KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO Only event long ago, so I didn't hesitate when choosing the pictures; I just directly dropped a set where I felt I was in my best state. I've mentioned heavily Photoshopping disclaimers in my posts before, so to any friends who have met me offline, can we have a tacit understanding not to expose me? After all, editing did take a lot of effort, and it's all about creating a sense of atmosphere.

Looking back at the whole event, I think the atmosphere at the Guangzhou KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO Only was amazing. There were always people stopping by our booth to look through the doujinshi and merch. The coser next to me wearing the giant mascot head also worked really hard; you can tell from the photos that wearing that outfit in the summer is definitely burning hot. The silver-white short hair style with that geometric hair accessory paired with the blue and white striped sports jacket made the overall style look very refreshing. Quite a few fellow fans at the venue recognized this look, and some even came to ask about the price of the "Invincible Youthful Beautiful Girl" doujin booklet I brought, which felt quite rewarding.

Many friends might wonder how the wig is secured; I actually did a lot of inner padding adjustments, including trimming the bangs, so that the wig net wouldn't show when tilting my head up or down. Although the editing is a bit heavy, in reality, the color combination of this outfit is unexpectedly full of vitality—the blue trim on a white base actually makes the skin look very fair. Usually, when doing cosplays, my biggest fear is the eye makeup smudging, but this time, the bright blue eye makeup lasted all day, so I'd say it's a pass. Finally, as usual, to the friends looking at the photos, it's enough if you like this set; to the sisters who know me offline, just pretend you didn't see my editing marks—it's all about friendly exchanges.

Setting up the booth at the Guangzhou KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO Only this time actually took a lot of effort. I covered the tabletop with red velvet and arranged all my different doujinshi, badges, and posters by category. Although the space wasn't very large, the final result unexpectedly gave off a proper booth vibe. Some first-time con-goers came over to ask about this character, so I could casually recommend various KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO projects to them, and the conversations were quite fun. The layout and cover design of the doujin booklet were all labors of love, so displaying them in my hands felt really fulfilling. The photo with the mascot-head coser next to me was also a highlight of this convention. Even though the two of us standing together looked like some weird twin setup, the photo turned out unexpectedly comical.

Next, let's talk about the styling that everyone cares about. This silver-white hairstyle with straight bangs mainly tests the hair's smoothness, so I spent a little time managing it before heading out to prevent frizz. The hair accessories are two yellow triangles with black borders; this contrasting color paired with the blue and white jacket creates a strong visual impact and is very eye-catching. For the eye makeup this time, I used blue-purple colored contacts combined with dark eyeshadow. The iris color looks very clear under natural light, and up close in the pictures, the overall look is clean without feeling messy. This type of sports jacket fit is very loose; although it doesn't really show off the figure, it is incredibly comfortable when running around the venue to set up the booth or taking photos with people. The black inner top at the collar contrasts nicely with the white of the jacket, bringing out a great sense of layering.

Actually, the time from my initial planning to the actual preparation for the Guangzhou KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO Only was quite tight, but seeing so many friends who like the same franchise at the event—especially seeing everyone stop by my booth to look through my doujin booklet—made me feel that all the late nights spent drawing manuscripts and preparing merch were worth it. The venue's air conditioning was decent, but wearing a wig in the crowd was still a bit stuffy. The selfie in Photo 1 was taken during a break; the lighting in the hotel room was softer, making the shot look very natural. The mascot-head photo in Photo 3 was the most fun one from the convention—I made a peace sign while the mascot guy pinched his fingertips, creating an awesome comedic contrast. The best part of every anime convention cosplay experience is always meeting all kinds of people; even if it's just a simple hello or a photo with each other, it's a great way to unwind.

Lastly, I still need to give myself a reality check. I know I Photoshopped this set pretty heavily—the face shape, features, and skin tone have all been processed—so every time I post pictures like this, I can't help but feel a little guilty. But hey, doing cosplay is all about recreating the most beautiful version of a character in everyone's hearts, and photography and post-processing are part of the whole creative process. The real me might not be as refined as in the photos, but I'll still greet everyone with a smile if we meet offline. As for seeing that comment "Support sora-nyan," although I don't know exactly which friend it refers to, I'll chime in as well—after all, this kind of tacit understanding among fans is quite fun. In summary, this Guangzhou KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO Only was a very happy, fulfilling, and highly productive anime convention cosplay experience.
