Shuu Sakamaki From Diabolik Lovers
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: Sep. 2013 Dec. 2013
Diabolik Lovers features a lot of unique men’s clothes considering it has so many male main characters, who are all brothers and all share the fact that they are quite stylish. However, out of all of the Sakamaki brothers, Shuu’s outfit is the most stylish choice for real life as well. He wears the same clothes throughout most of the series. While most of his brothers’ outfits are variants on their school uniform, Shuu’s is much more unique and looks very different from the rest. He is still in high school as well, so the uniform element is still present – but Shuu is the oldest of all the brothers and master of their mansion, and he dresses more maturely to represent his role.

Faye Valentine’s Femme Fatale Fashion
Faye Valentine is one female character that comes to mind before anyone when it comes to the most fashionable women of anime. Her outfit is the epitome of femme fatale, and it makes her look just as beautiful as it does fierce.
One look at Faye may have anyone head over heels, but her style elicits fear of what she could do as an enemy on the battlefield. Not to mention this outfit works just in about any occasion as seen during her time in Cowboy Bebop.

Bakugo has red eyes and spiky blonde hair. And, I find spiky hair one of the hottest hairstyles. Because of that and his appearance overall, he is one of the hottest anime guys. Although he has shown us his egoistic, violent, and arrogant attitude, he is also very strong, intelligent, and persistent. And even though he is one of the most unpopular anime characters, we cant deny the fact that he looks good.

Is Real Japanese School Life Similar To That In Anime
Anime, which derives from the English word animation, is a Japanese cartoon typically in an easily recognizable style that differs from western cartoons. Popular anime shows are subtitled or dubbed into other languages soe examples of world-famous anime would be Sailor Moon and Pokemon. Although anime comes in a huge variety of genres from drama to science-fiction to horror to fantasy, many ideas are inspired from the real world. Even in worlds that are not meant to be realistic, we see examples of real-life features, as these of course provided the inspiration. One example of real life that you can see in anime is high school. Many protagonists in anime shows are high school students and therefore some scenes take place in their place of education with fellow students.
Anime shows about schools showcase events such as having fun and chatting in the classroom, attending school clubs several times a year, doing daily chores, and spending time with friends in quiet parts of the school. Many anime shows feature high school students with scenes taking place inside their school. But how does high school life in anime reflect real life Japanese education?
Safety is one of the most important factors in Japanese schools and it is taken very seriously. This starts before the students even arrive at the school grounds. It is forbidden to drive a car to school, and students cannot even be dropped off by their parents, friends, or guardians.
Drawing An Anime Leather Jacket
To draw an anime style leather jacket on the body start by drawing its overall shape and major features such as where the zipper line and collar.
Leather is fairly rigid and even a tight jacket will somewhat conceal the shape of the body. The shoulder areas where the sleeves are stitched to the jacket will stick out be pointy while the chest area will be squeezed in. Draw accordingly.
In this example the major folds will be at the shoulder and on the inside of the elbow . There will also be some light folds at the level of the upper stomach area because the body is very slightly bent to one side.
Draw the lighter folds and the smaller parts like the details of the zipper and the pockets after you draw the major features.

How To Draw The Face
There are different approaches you can take when drawing male anime faces. The position of the eyes, nose, and mouth in male characters are often near the bottom of the face. So thats where you should place these features.
We could have positioned the facial characteristics at the center of the face if we were drawing an anime girl.
Slant the eyes towards the middle of the face and heavily outline the upper lids.
You should take your time when sketching the size of the eyes. The vertical and horizontal lines you drew earlier should help you with the placement.
If you dont have a specific style in mind, you could give your character short, shaggy hair with long strands at the base of the neck.
