echoes from the past

While cleaning my room, I discovered a photo I didn't even realize I had. It was taken on Halloween of 11th grade (2003) and documents the first time I ever cosplayed Kurosaki Hisoka. The photo isn't the best, but it's there and you can also get a rough idea of what part of our village looks like in Fall from the background.
I also found a photo of the first person to ever cosplay Tsuzuki with me, also from Halloween 2003; this is Sarah, who was one of my closest friends in High School. (Hopefully she doesn't mind me posting this.) The bag she's holding is for trick-or-treating and was made by me; I also made a Hisoka one, which I still have, but it's seen better days.


It's been almost five years since then, but even though I haven't watched or read Yami no Matsuei in a while, it's left an undeniable impact on my life. Through it, I've met some of my closest friends and had some of my most treasured experiences. Even now, YnM remains one of my favourite anime/manga series, second only to Hunter x Hunter.
