Ryomou Shimei school uniform!
I really, really like Ryomou Shimei from the Ikki Tousen series. I collect her figures, PVC's, statues and such. I've always wanted the dollfie version of her but she is always super expensive when she becomes available, so I have had to give up on that right now. But ever since I got Manami, Ryomou has faded a little from my mind. So when I mentioned my little crush on Ryomou to Manami, she said she would be happy to cosplay as her if I proivided a nice outfit for her. After much searching and with some help from friends stateside and in Japan, I was very lucky to finally recieve the Volks School Uniform for Ryomou! I am hoping to add a short, blue wig and eyepatch for Manami to be able to complete her cosplay..... hopefully by Halloween!
The Volks set arrived! It took a few weeks to get here but it was sooooo worth it!
And all the contents out on display. I really dig those boots! And the bow is very nice too, all shiny!
And here is the set on Manami. She shows us how it is done with her modeling skills. Yum!
I did something a bit different for this photoshoot with the lighting. I usually fidget around with camera settings hoping for the best but this time I decided to actually use some extra lights instead of just the ones in the kitchen area. I think it made a huge difference in the quality of the pictures. What do you guys think?
I try for an upskirt shot but am not so lucky.
A nice side view of the outfit. You can see the details here on the boot buckles and the excellent stitching on the yellow sweater.
And a shot from the back.
This outfit just screams quality. It's the second Volks outfit I own and if they all are this high quality, I will be buying more. I love this uniform! And Manami does too as you can see her beginning to get a little flirty here.
What's Ikki Tousen if you don't get a panty shot?? :) Manami shows us her white pantsu here as if to say "Yeah, you know you want some!" Such a tease....
A closeup of those awesome boots. The detailing and quality of them is just great. I know I'll use these with other outfits just because they are so dang cool.
Gratz on getting the uniform! Very nice pics Manami kinda looks like Sonsaku in it that. ^^ looks like the boots are the same as her maid ones but black.
Thank you! And I agree that she has the Hakufu look going on. It wasn't intended but as soon as I had the outfit on her, all I could see was Hakufu! A nice bonus for sure.
I should write u about some DD Ryoumo items I have but never use because they are not my daughters' style it's not the full set tho so I gotta take some pictures first :)
Oh! Please do Chun! I would be most interested in what you may have! Please let me know what you have and what you want for them and maybe we can make a deal. And thanks for letting me know!
I will dig them out from the box to take some pictures and try to email you in next 2 days( latest by Monday) ok? Better if they go to somewhere where they are used and loved :3
Oh that would be great Chun! I really appreciate it and Monday is fine, no worries. I can't wait to see what you have! ^_^
Cool, the outfit looks great on her!
Thanks! I am really happy with it and it's versatile enuff to wear in several different ways. Now to find the maid outfit.....
Very nice, the outfit is fantastic. The lighting in your photos is also perfect.
Thank you! I was hoping the lighting would be better this time around. I'll continue this setup for future shoots indoors.
Very nice... I love this school uniform^^
Thank you... I am also very happy with it and so is Manami. She wore it out for another photo shoot we did that I'll add this weekend.
