Would you help me with cosplaying Misa? Like, if you know some of her outfits from manga, anime and maybe live action movies, musicals and tv drama, could you share them? Thanks you ^^
Gladly! Sorry it took so long, I was quite busy with family issues and exam studying, but hopefully you didn’t need your cosplay plans ready in just a few days, haha. I’m really sorry, but I disregarded the parts of this ask that referred to any of the three live action adaptions because manga/anime is already a tremendous task and I am far less well-versed in any other versions of canon.
But with manga and anime, I gave it my best for you.
The concept art shots are all from Death Note Volume 14, the animation guidebook. I just cleaned up the scans a little, but I did not scan it.
Another thing of note is that the color manga’s coloring choices were likely not decided by Obata as they sometimes openly contradict his art - it is an official version of canon, but not the be-all-end-all in canon color choices. I tried to contrast the changes that were made to Misa’s outfits between the adaptions so you can decide on which you’d rather cosplay. (I am missing some detail reference shots though, so if you decide to cosplay a version I’d recommend reviewing the scenes for yourself to catch everything!) Now…
Here’s a list of Misa’s outfits in manga and anime with reference images as far as available!
