The second season of the hit anime series IS: Infinite Stratos is finally airing in Japan and to promote the new season, cosplayers dressed up as the IS girls, as well as the official IS itasha car and bike, will hit the road all over Japan. Their first stop? Akihabara
Chinese representative candidate Lingyin “Rin” Huang, Japanese kendo champion Houki Shinonono, English noble Cecilia Alcott, German soldier Laura Bodewig and French cutie Charlotte Dunois were all present as they toured Akihabara starting with Tora no Ana’s Akihabara store.
The girls also stopped by other popular Akiba stores like Animate and Sofmap.
Going along with the girls is the official itasha car version of Houki’s state-of-the-art 4th generation IS unit, the Akatsubaki which literally means red camellia. Riding the custom anime car is Houki herself.
Laura also has her own itachari (bike versions of itasha). This official Laura Bodewig itachari is named Schwarzer Regen after Laura’s mighty 3rd generation IS unit, the Schwarzer Regen. This bike also toured Akihabara along with IS girls as it rode on top of Akatsubaki.
The IS “caravan” then visits Gamers Akihabara where they held a photography session with the fans.
The IS Girls, along with the Akatsubaki itasha car and the Schwarzer Regen itachari will then hit the road as they visit Osaka on October 12, 2013 and Nagoya on October 13.
