well, I dunno if that's COMPLETELY the case, I mean, Hiiragi Kagami as Asuka Langley? I can kinda see that happening... And Kusakabe Misao as Suzuhara Touji? Maybe not exactly too close, but not quite the opposite end of the spectrum either... I think...
I think in the picture, Akira is Asuka - she's in love with Kaji = Minoru. And I have to agree with tzimisce - this cosplays are completly out of character >_> It's not even funny :/
Akira is in a boy's shirt; I don't think she's supposed to be Asuka. There's no telling who the obscured Minoru is, for sure... I'm guessing Tsukasa is playing as Asuka, if only for the uniform.
