The story revolves around mad scientist Rintaro Okabe who accidentally stumbles upon a form of time travel using his microwave and cell phone. However, the discovery breaks wide open after Kurisu joins his makeshift lab.
Cosplayer ‘Faid Eyren’ shared her costume of Makise on social media, and looks just like the character. Not only is her costume perfectly accurate, she actually took the photos in Akihabara, Japan which is where the anime takes place.
In what could easily pass for a scene from an official live action film, the artist poses as the character holding her folders of data, with the city skyline in the backdrop. Her cosplay is one of the most faithful depictions of the heroine that we’ve ever seen.

Faid uploaded more pictures of her dressed up as the S;G scientist, and showed off how faithful her outfit is. In the story, Kurisu has a quirky style, which she nails by recreating her brown jacket that hangs down from her arms.
In another shot that depicts a scene from the show, she stands over a bridge holding her work. The cosplay artist captures even the little details, such as her red tie which is loose under the collar of her white shirt.
