Mages, witches, or spellcasters — no matter what you call them, sexy girls with explosive magic are the best! Mages are a tried-and-true staple of the fantasy genre in anime and manga, whether you like them petite and fiery or mature and commanding. With such popularity, you can be sure that mage cosplays are everywhere!
As always, your faithful cosplay fanatics at J-List have rustled up some of the hottest mage cosplays of all your favorite sorceresses. From picture-perfect cosplays to lingerie and lewd, join us on the J-List blog as we cast a spell to find all the hottest mage cosplays!
Megumin: The Arch Wizard of Pettanko Mage Cosplay!
She’s one of the most iconic wizards on our list and the poster child for the “flat is justice” movement: Megumin, the Arch Wizard of the Crimson Demons! KonoSuba’s world is filled with socially inept characters who struggle with personality issues, and Megumin is no exception. The only spell she knows leaves her debilitated afterwards, and her chuuni tendencies (coupled with a classic tsundere personality) make her a total handful!
Megumin’s mage cosplays allow the less-endowed cosplayers to truly shine, and be anime-accurate, to boot! Rise up, itty-bitty-titty brigade, and worship at the altar of cute mages overcompensating with explosive spells!

Akko: Do Bunny Ears Make Me a Furry?!
From one petite mage to another, we’re turning our attention to Atsuko “Akko” Kagari from Little Witch Academia. A series that really needs a second season, Little Witch Academia is everything Harry Potter wishes it was. Cute witches, adorable friendships, and a suspicious amount of yuri bait — just as God intended!
Akko is the perfect go-getter, full of pep and driven to follow in the footsteps of her idol, Shiny Chariot, to become a “cool” witch. Akko’s bunny-eared mishaps when learning metamorphosis magic have turned into a running theme among her cosplayers, even going full bunny girl cosplay mode!

Fern: Big Girls Have Bigger Spells!
After featuring the gothic version of her master, Frieren, last week, we just had to showcase Fern for this mage cosplay post! This buxom young mage is the physical opposite of the other entrants on this list, with natural talent that rivals her natural assets!
Maybe being tsundere is a requirement for magecraft because Fern’s definitely a little prickly, but under that harsh exterior is a genuine heart of gold, making her one of our favorite new-generation mages!

Roxy: Mage Cosplay Worth Reincarnation
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is a series that always creates heated discussions, but this writer is most definitely a fan of the series. Particularly of the blue-haired demon mage, Roxy Migurdia!
She mostly gets credit for training Rudeus, but Roxy is a talented mage in her own right, only surpassed by her own student. She’s also another respectable addition to our flat-chested team of mages, and she’s beloved for her distinctive striped shimapan panties.

Dark Magician Girl
The first spellcasting crush for a whole generation of 1990s anime watchers, Dark Magician Girl is the pastel-colored apprentice to Yu-Gi-Oh‘s famous Dark Magician. Gender stereotyping aside, Dark Magician Girl has seen a resurgence in popularity among slightly older cosplayers, seemingly reliving their youth (we don’t blame them).
Cosplays like these remind us of the technical skill required in cosplay, from crafting (or printing) elaborate armor pieces to finding the right props and wigs to make the character come to life.

Rin Tohsaka: Stay the Night for This Mage Cosplay
In the world of Fate/stay night, “mages” and “magicians” are distinct concepts, but don’t think Rin Tohsaka is any less capable for being only a mage. Not only is Rin the textbook definition of tsundere, but she’s strong enough to go toe-to-toe with some of the series’ deadliest enemies and come out the victor!
Perhaps owing to Fate/stay night‘s origins as an eroge visual novel, Rin Tohsaka oozes sexuality, particularly for tights lovers. These mage cosplays transform Rin into the ultimate magical waifu!
