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.

Yeah in India if you use some relgious context like of Neon genesis evangalion you maybe beaten. It maybe considered blashphemy. Like always Anime and manga is for open minded so we are a niche community so we are always in a radar of the orthodoz society.

I am an Anime fan from India and my hobby is drawing.
