Synopsis

In the past decade, cosplay has exploded in popularity here in the United States. Walk into any anime convention in America and you'll see fans dressing as their favorite characters from anime, manga, or video games. In 2009, photographer Ejen Chuang travelled to six anime conventions across America to capture this phenomenon. Five months were spent photographing 1,651 cosplayers from coast to coast followed by another six months of editing. The result is a hard bound coffee table book of cosplayers captured at the conventions. Through these pages one can see the many faces of Americans - of different race, background, and age all united under the love of anime

Review:

Cosplay in America is a gorgeous tribute to the people who attend anime conventions ...The layout is slick and the photos are lovely. Chuang did what I hope more people will do in the future, portrayed cosplay as art. --Liz Ohanesian (BoingBoing.net)
