Cosplay: Neji Hyuga and Tenten (Naruto)

I think cosplay is really creative and cool and I have been trying to post some of the ones that I've found, like this Neji and Tenten cosplay. Isn't this awesome?

Non-Canon Couples Week: Day #6: Neji and Tenten (Naruto)

It appears that a lot of my favorite non-canon couples are from the Naruto series and here is one more to add, Neji Hyuga and Tenten.

These two were always together and they had a very strong friendship. What I find interesting is that they always had each others back in a fight and that takes a lot of trust that the person will be there. I was really surprised that there was no romance between them. And with Neji eventually killed off near the end there was no chance that it would happen. It's interesting that in the end with all the characters being paired off, Tenten was single. I often wonder if that was intentional because her love was no longer there.

Fashion Meets Comics: Tenten

I forgot to post something yesterday for Naruto's birthday which a lot of fans like to celebrate. So to compensate I featured a Fashion Meets Comics post with a Naruto character.

I like Tenten, with the way she's shown I would consider her a feminist. She's out spoken and very independent but she fully supports each and every member of the team she's on, Team Gai.

Being a weapons expert ninja requires a lot of knowledge as well as the ability to use each item. She's smart, level headed and a great fighter but she does have a tendency to become frustrated by the crazy antics of her sensei Gai and her teammate Rock Lee.

Now as for her clothes, she wore a white mid length sleeved Chinese inspired blouse with a burgundy trim. While her ankle length tapered cuff pants were in a puffy/harem style with cut outs on the side which she covers with bandage wraps. The surprising thing is her open toe mules, I guess she uses her chakra to keep them on while in a fight. Otherwise they would seem impractical for a ninja.

I was inspired to see if I could re-create the outfit using the white and burgundy color scheme. I found a mid-length sleeve blouse and a pair of really cute cropped burgundy pants.

I know there was no romance shown between Neji and Tenten (not to mention Neji was killed off near the end of the series) but they are another one of my favorite non-canon couples. It's something so right and adorable about the two of them together.
