Cosplay Costumes for the Manga Comic Convention 2015

Cosplay Costumes for the Manga Convention 2015

From March 12 – 15, 2015 the Leipzig Book Fair will open its venerable doors once again. A paradise for bookworms, the Manga Comic Convention will have lovers of manga, anime, cosplay, Japan and games in seventh heaven as well. Here we give you all the necessary facts about the event and show you all kinds of cosplay costumes and accessories to boot.

Awesome Cosplay Costumes, Comics & Much More at the Manga Comic Convention 2015

Cosplay (from “costume play”) is a tradition of its own in the trade fair city of Leipzig. In 2001 the best cosplayers were given awards as part of the book fair for the first time at the Leipzig Cosplay Competition. What was a fringe event has blown up since then. As of last year the book fair has been giving cosplay and manga fans their own hall.

In it you’ll find everything that gets your fan heart beating. Numerous exhibitors present all-things-manga, -anime, -J-pop, -games, -toys, -drawing materials and much more. Artists, hobby craftsmen and illustrators exhibit their DIY wares, including posters, buttons, cacao cards, dōjinshis, comics, artworks and self-produced merchandise. Throughout the four days, a power-packed program with book signings, workshops, language courses, contests and film screenings ward off any chance of boredom.

And there’s no short-changing cosplay here. Traditionally, showing up to conventions in costume has been much more than just that: cosplay photo shoots, fashion shows and, of course, the European Cosplay Gathering preliminaries are all in the mix this year. If you are planning to visit the convention in costume, please respect the organizers‘ guidelines.

Everything for Your Cosplay Costume

We have lots of costumes from video games, from Assassin’s Creed, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter to the unique armor and weapons from World of Warcraft. Experienced cosplayers who prefer to make their own costumes will find all kinds of accessories for their very own cosplay creations: wigs, hair spray, beards, contact lenses, aqua make-up, costume shoes, foam weapons and much more.
