ABOUT

  • The perfect manga for the rapidly-growing cosplay fandom! Cosplay is spilling out of the convention scene and into the national mainstream with Syfy's ""Heroes of Cosplay"" on cable TV and cosplay guides and magazines growing more and more popular.
  • Cosplayers and fangirls will identify with the struggles the characters face, like balancing work, school, and hobbies, dealing with creepy convention-goers, and bullying.
    • 16 and up. Ongoing.
    Twentysomething temp worker Nagisa Kataura lives like an average young woman - but she has a secret life. When she's not sitting at her day job, she spends most of her time transforming into her favorite anime and manga characters through the art of cosplay. Worried about being thought childish and nerdy, Nagisa struggles to keep her hobby a secret.

    STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

    Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

    In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

    The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
