Go Tokyo Your Experience
The annual Halloween is coming soon, have you decided on your outfit for this year? Famous Japanese manga artist Katsura Masawa, known for his works such as “DNA ²”, “Movie Girl”, “I” s “, etc., recently shared his Halloween anecdotes from 32 years ago: on the holiday day in 1992, he dressed up as Batman and walked into convenience stores for shopping.
After recalling the scene at that time, he couldn’t help but be curious: “If he did the same thing again today, would he be criticized for hindering business and even causing controversy?” Today, let’s take a look at his stunning costume back then.
On Halloween in 1992, I dressed up as Batman and strolled through the streets of Roppongi. I even walked into a convenience store to read a book. This was a photo taken at the time. Looking back, was it really okay to do this today? Will I get scolded
Senior cartoonist Gui Zhenghe recently shared the story of dressing up as Batman and shopping in convenience stores 32 years ago to celebrate the upcoming Halloween.
After taking this photo, I went straight to the checkout and bought juice
His well-known work “I” has recently launched a series of collaborative products.
The photos shared by Gui Zhenghe quickly attracted the appreciation of netizens, who all expressed that it was really amazing to be able to create such a high fidelity cosplay more than 30 years ago! Many people have also begun to discuss whether doing the same thing now would cause controversy, even involving legal issues.
The reaction of Japanese netizens is that&# 8230;
The level of mask production is too high, it’s almost like a movie
This quality is too high, isn’t it
When ‘Movie Girl’ was still serialized in JUMP, the photo of Teacher Gui at the end of the magazine was dressed up as Batman. It turns out that the teacher is really playing cosplay
At that time, Halloween was not yet popular in Japan, was it
In 1992, there was such high cosplay quality that it was like stepping out of a movie
It’s hard to say whether it’s possible to walk into a convenience store now… or on Halloween, as long as it doesn’t cause trouble, is it allowed
Some convenience stores have already announced that they cannot wear full face helmets when entering the store, and this kind of attire may be blocked outside the door
This year, doing so may be seen as a thief
Now, covering one’s face is considered not allowed
Halloween was not yet popular in Japan in 1992, teacher
This Halloween, we look forward to Teacher Gui recreating this classic costume again!
