Akemi Hasegawa

Pia Carrot

For those unfamiliar with the series, Pia Carrot is essentially a dating sim, set in the cafe/restaurant of the same name. It has since spawned a number of OAV series and a movie, as well as more figurines than would fit in an average house!
While I normally choose characters I feel some affinity with, Akemi just so happens to almost share the exact same hairstyle as I do! I chose to cosplay from this series solely based on how much I love the costume designs for the waitress staff.
Additional "props" for the costume include the tin tray, which is actually authentic merchandise which I lucked out on with an ebay bid and the orange and red "Welcome to Pia Carrot" badge which was tidied up from a website scan, printed and laminated.
