Following Kui-sensei's numbering...
07 and 08: Kui Ryoko, the consummate professional.
15: This is seriously impressive by itself. More so, when you consider that manga and anime are well known for their homogenized character designs, for which this kind of outfit-swap mostly cannot work. Nos. 07 and 08 show Kui-sensei's discipline; No. 15 shows her talent, her sense for the underlying essence of a character. A bit of a digression, but this reminds me of how Hank Azaria, voice actor of The Simpsons fame, showered praise on Mel Blanc. One cartoon had Daffy Duck impersonating Bugs Bunny, and vice versa. Mr. Azaria said of Mel Blanc's performance, "You know how hard it is to do, to take your own character, have it imitate another one of your own characters? It's almost impossible. If you try to, like, combine two voices that you're doing, you kind of just land in the middle [...]".
16: These outfits would not look out of place in Renaissance Italy. Give 'em some lances and warhorses, and watch the crowds step back.
23: Look at that beautiful twist that Izutsumi's doing. Which again makes me wonder: why don't the volume covers have this level of anatomical excellence?
24: The body language is Marcille through and through.
25 and 26: Kui-sensei sees things most of us can't.
