Death Note cosplayer is drop dead gorgeous as perfect Misa Amane

One talented cosplayer has blown fans of popular anime Death Note away with her dark yet adorable take on polarizing wannabe model, Misa Amane.

Death Note took the anime world by storm when it was adapted from its manga form in 2006, the psychological thriller with its supernatural elements gripping fans across the world with its addictive story and fascinating characters.

The story follows the battle of wits between Light Yagami, a school prodigy with a newfound ability to kill people at will via the titular Death Note, and L, a mysterious police detective with a mind as brilliant as Light’s.

One key player in the tale of Light and L is Misa Amane. The up-and-coming model appears to be a stock character at first glance, but there is far more to her than meets the eye, with a dark past and a twisted psyche that manifests itself more and more as the story progresses.
