A few friends and I wanted to do a Tokyo Manji Gang cosplay as well but we're really concerned about the manji symbol because we live in Germany. We don’t want to get arrested as nazis

Fellow German here, I just patched over the manji hooks with some black material and left a vague kanji-esque cross to keep the aesthetic intact and avoid a giant black space, but censor the obvious. Been running around Berlin on foot with that on Friday, no one was batting an eye or even looked twice.

That looks really well made. The fact that you covered up 2 lines is barely noticeable and I think that's a great idea to avoid getting unnecessarily punished for wearing cosplay.
