Ah, duct tape is so versatile! Just ask Elayne M. from Westport, Connecticut. Her made-from-scratch Samurai 7 armor and sword made clever use of colored duct tape. The entire outfit took her a month to construct, and the sword alone took four days.
Elayne's favorite manga is Naruto, "because it's such a good story -- the characters and how they relate to each other is fantastic!"
