The series follows mad-scientist Okabe Rintarou who accidentally discovers time-travel using his microwave. Perplexed, he teams up with the brilliant physicist Kurisu to unravel the mystery.
Cosplayer ‘quantum-cobalt‘ shared her take on the Steins;Gate character, and faithfully nailed her look. For example, she perfectly mimicked Makise’s hairstyle, from her flowing auburn chestnut hair to her bangs.
The artist teamed up with photographer Karen ‘kkosasiphotos‘ who captured her posing as the genius character pondering. She looks so much like the scientist, it has us seeing double.
