Himeno from Chainsaw Man

Himeno is a character in the best-selling manga, Chainsaw Man. Illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the series was serialized in the weekly Shonen Jump magazine for two years until December 2020. It was adapted into an anime series in 2022 which now premieres weekly episodes on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Chainsaw Man takes place in a world where devils are born from fears. Himeno is a Public Safety Devil Hunter who works for Makima. She is partnered with Aki, and they both take hunting devils very seriously. She has a contract with the Ghost Devil. In exchange for her right eye, Himeno can summon and control the invisible arm of the Ghost Devil.

Mikaela Hyakuya from Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End

Mikaela Hyakuya (voiced in Japanese by Kenshō Ono and in English by Justin Briner) is half of the main character set in the anime/manga Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End.

While originally starting off the series as a human, Mika has gone through several form changes. Where we see him currently in the manga, he is a vampire, though he prefers not to drink from humans if he can help it. This mainly leads to him feeding off of Yu, his best friend and most important person since childhood.

He has very fluffy blonde hair with a white sheen over top, and his eyes are blue or red, both slitted, depending on the scene. The outfit he wears is the typical vampire uniform, a creamish-white jacket over a black button up shirt, white pants, lots of gold detailing everywhere, and thigh-high black boots.

Oz Vessalius from Pandora Hearts

Oz Vessalius (voiced by Junko Minagawa) is the main character of the anime/manga Pandora Hearts.

He is the oldest of the Vessalius children, and after making a contract with Alice, he has the ability to use the chain of the B-Rabbit (though if you’re caught up with the manga, this is all very changed). Gil, his childhood best friend, is the one person that helps him contain the B-Rabbit powers so that it doesn’t drain him.

Oz has short, fluffy blonde hair, and green eyes. The main outfit we see him wearing throughout the series is a white button up shirt, a red necktie over top, a black layered vest with gold detailing, green plaid shorts, black socks, and brown boots with detail pieces. He also carries around the gold pocketwatch that plays ‘Lacie’.

Emma from The Promised Neverland

Emma from The Promised Neverland

In The Promised Neverland, Emma is a smart, cheerful, friendly 11 year old living at the Grace Field House orphanage. Life there is idyllic, with good food, comfortable beds, and plenty of games. When they find out that their purpose is to be raised as meat for demons, it’s Emma who leads the other orphans to escape for freedom.

Hacker from Akudama Drive

Hacker, or The Hacker, (voiced in Japanese by Shun Horie and in English by Y. Chang) is part of the main cast of the anime Akudama Drive, and one of the group of criminals or ‘Akudama’ that are key to the story.

None of the characters have much of an explained backstory, or a known name, so he simply just goes by Hacker. He’s true to his name in that aspect, as he takes great joy in interesting technological struggles that he’s able to force past, and gets bored easily when he can’t find something that interests him.

He has very messy blondish brown hair and one visible blue eye, while the other is covered by a glowing eyepatch. The outfit he wears is almost entirely body covering, with a long greyish white turtleneck shirt and a tailcoated blue jacket that he wears nearly open over it. His hair is partially covered by a hat that glows like his eyepatch and is the same color as his coat. Hacker also has a pair of black pants with a blue end piece covering them, and odd looking almost spat-like blue and black boots.

Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist

Wrath (voiced in Japanese by Nana Mizuki and in English by Luci Christian) is a variation of the character that is exclusive to the 2003 adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist, and is not found in the manga or in Brotherhood.

He is a being that came to be after Izumi Curtis tried to use alchemy to revive her baby, much in the same way the Elric brothers did, and it went just about as well. As a part of the group of Homunculi, he’s well suited to his name, becoming more and more like the title after consuming the stones.

Wrath has long, shaggy, blackish-brown hair and slitted violet eyes. He wears a similar outfit to Envy’s in style, once fully becoming a homunculus. It’s formed of a black crop turtleneck with a short, partial sleeve crop top over it, small matching shorts, and one foot cover/wrist cover respectively. There are red circular markings that start at mid-thigh and continue up past the bottom of the shirt, much like the ones the others have.

Aki from Chainsaw Man

Aki Hayakawa is a character in the best selling-manga (and now anime series) Chainsaw Man. The series takes place in a world where devils are born from fears. Aki works for Makima as a public safety devil hunter. However, he takes his responsibilities more seriously than Denji. While he comes off as stoic, he deeply cares for his peers. He has a contract with the Fox Devil and Curse Devil which allows him to summon their abilities. His later contract with the Future Devil gives him a glimpse into a horrible future, which results in a fatal fight.

rebecca from cyberpunk edgerunners

Rebecca from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Rebecca (voiced by Alex Cazares in English) is a character from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.  Rebecca is a petite and sharp-tongued mercenary with a soft spot for David.  Rebecca has white skin adorned with pink tattoos.  Her clothing is minimal, including a black bra and underwear as well as an oversized jacket with matching boots and headband.  Plenty of cosplay sets exist for Rebecca, though you can also go the more interpretive route by wearing a black bikini with high tops and a bomber jacket.  Either way, you’ll want a mint-colored wig as well as pink body paint and a steady hand to recreate Rebecca’s body art and complete your look.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa from Bungo Stray Dogs

Akutagawa (voiced in Japanese by Kenshō Ono and in English by Brian Beacock) is one of the semi-antagonists turned reluctant part time good guy in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

Raised to fend for himself and his sister Gin on the streets, Akutagawa grew up with a great distrust for people, but also the need to be seen as worthwhile in the eyes of people he looked to for advice. The downside is this person was Dazai, so it left him with a rather large complex for constant approval after a while.

While mainly a part of the Port Mafia, through Dazai’s connections and in response to a larger growing threat concerning both them and the Armed Detective Agency, Akutagawa has been assigned to work with Atsushi under the title of Shin Soukoku (New Double Black). Neither of them are very happy with this, but they’re figuring it out.

Much like Atsushi, Akutagawa has rough, choppy hair, though his is pure black with white tips at the ends of the front bits. His eyes are a cool grey.

The outfit that he has is a bit special in terms of composition. While the base layer is a simple fancy ruffled shirt, black pants, and black shoes, the high collar black jacket he wears overtop acts as a conduit for his ability, Rashoumon. While it is not bound to that coat in particular, it is the one we generally see him use it with.
