Cosplaying Aura from "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End": How to create her signature slanted eyes?

——What did you want to express in this cosplay?

Nanashi-chan: I tried to create a confident expression that's distinctive of Aura. Also, since I have round eyes and Aura has slanted eyes, I used tape to lift my eyes and makeup to create the slanted look.

——When and how were you introduced to "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", and what do you find appealing about it?

Nanashi-chan: I learned about the series when the anime was broadcasted. The story begins after the heroes saved the world and enough time has passed for humans to live out their lifetimes, a unique starting point that captivated me from the first episode.

As Frieren's journey progresses, episodes with various attractive friends and enemy characters are carved out. Among them, I was certainly not the only one taken aback when Aura, who was expected to be a formidable enemy, was easily persuaded to commit suicide (laughs).

——Could you tell us about your future cosplay plans or any announcements regarding your activities?

Nanashi-chan: Lately, I've been focusing on cosplaying nostalgic works, so I'm thinking of doing
・Magic Knight Rayearth
・Cardcaptor Sakura
・Oreimo
・Toradora!
・CLANNAD
I think I'll be at Comic Market most of the time, so feel free to say hi!

——Thank you!

Nanashi-chan skillfully portrayed Aura, who is popular among fans for her adorable looks despite being an enemy. Her list of future cosplay plans includes classics from "Nakayoshi" and Dengeki Bunko, making us look forward to her next reveal.
