Lili Ryu (voiced by Aya Susaki) is a werewolf and one of the main character in the anime Journal of the Mysterious Creatures.  Lili is the new roommate of Yoshihito, a 23-year-old man without a girlfriend or job.  As Lili is viewing the house, she is attacked by the vampire Vivian.  Lili’s outfit shows off her affinity for dogs, and can be super fun for a dog lover to put together.  If you cannot find a crop top that suits her outfit, you can always purchase a normal t-shirt and then cut it to the exact length you want.

In the anime series Hunter x Hunter, Kurapika (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro and Erika Harlacher in the 2011 series) is the lone survivor of the Kurta clan and a Blacklist Hunter.  While Kurapika’s blue and yellow outfit is easily found pre-made, there are several options available from both the 1999 and 2011 series, depending on how creative and crafty you want to be.

In the anime and light novel series Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World, Subaru Natsuki (voiced by Koboyashi Yuusuke or Sean Chiplock) is the main protagonist.  Subaru is transported from a convenience store in Japan to a fantasy world where he becomes a knight to the half-elf Emilia.  Subaru typically wears the tracksuit he had on when he was brought to this new world, however he also has a butler’s uniform he wears while serving at the Roswaal mansion.  A standard butler’s costume will help to achieve this look, especially if you take the time to carefully outline the lapels with some standard grey fabric paint.  If you don’t like the look of a multi-striped bow tie, you could also use a plain blue one and paint a single stripe across it once it is tied.

Gowther is a character in the anime Seven Deadly Sins. Revealed to be a doll created by the Grand Wizard as well as a former member of the Ten Commandments, he is the Goat’s sin of Lust. His main power is Invasion and his main weapon is the Twin Bow. Alongside his androgynous appearance, Gowther prefers wearing women’s clothes. This outfit will require some handicrafts. First, cut a scoop neck from the t-shirt so it hangs off your shoulders. You might want to order the shirt a size up so it slouches down, and you’ll  see the straps of the black tank top underneath. Use the silver fabric paint for the design around the new neckline, as well as around the four black buttons, which you should place down the white shirt. Another option could be using black fabric paint to make the buttons as oppose to using the actual buttons in this guide. Regarding the lavender shirt, use the dark purple marker to draw vertical lines down the sleeves.
