Fashion in DEATH NOTE: Misa Amane

Here's another look (here's Pt. 1) at the amazingly detailed fashion in the Death Note manga series.  Artist Takeshi Obata says about the character Misa Amane,

I was really psyched about having a female main character.  I remember having a lot of fun drawing her while looking through Gothic Lolita magazines.

That Gothic Lolita sensibility comes through very clearly in a lot of her outfits:

I think this one's my favorite:

It's worth noting that Obata doesn't just draw her in completely different clothes every single time. A lot of pieces recur with other combinations, as for example the plaid skirt above with another outfit below:

Then we see the jacket again with yet a different outfit. Note the plaid again, however, as tights rather than the skirt:

Here she is in disguise:

She's not always "in costume," though.  Here she is in a pretty regular jeans outfit:

I really like the simplicity of this look:

And here she is in just a top and some pants:

As with Light, what's striking to me is the attention to detail in designing and depicting her wardrobe.  Again, I've never seen anything comparable in any western comics.
