| I love how 753 adds more entertainment to this episode with her personality. She's kinda mischievous but also seems popular among cosplaying conventions. It looks like Ririsa indeed has a tough rival. Also interesting to know more about Mayuri and why she became a home econ teacher. She's even lending a hand to help! Pretty interesting episode imo. |
 |
| So glad that they found the missing skirt and that Ririsa can now do her cosplay, it was amazing seeing Mayuri Sensei and Okumura always being there for Ririsa and supporting her. |
| This episode was way more emotional than I expected from the title. Seeing Ririsa breakdown was painful to see. The seiyuu did great work on this episode, especially Enoki Junya. Can't wait for next episode. I expect a bloodbath unless sensei only appears at the end |
| Wow, it ended up being a very emotional and beautiful episode. I really liked the scenes where Ririsa receive the support of her sensei and Masamune, she now knows they've got her back. That ending showcases pretty well how close the two main characters have grown. A really good episode, hope to see more like this :) |

| When an omegaweeb sets aside his devotion to his 2D waifu to make an entire speech gushing about his appreciation for you as his 3D partner, you mean something. Mayuri and Okumura really proved themselves as members of Ririsa's dream team but Magino and Ogino are the hidden MVPs for looking out for their noob friends as much as they do. It's legit heartwarming how surprisingly supportive the cosplay scene is (Nagomi notwithstanding) |

| This episode has successfully adapted chapters 25-27 of volume 4, so quite a bit of material that involved Okumura and Mayura trying to cheer Ririsa up. Right now only Nagomi is the only cosplayer getting attention, but that is going to change in the next episode when Mayura shows her cosplay in public for the first time triggering a cosplay battle between Mayura and Nagomi. The next couple of chapters are going to be fabulous. |
 |
| Yep I figured Kai sama would look just like Okumura that’s why they covered his face lol. Whenever Nagomi meets him things are going to get interesting. Emotional episode tho man seeing Ririsa break down kills me I love her sm and she deserves the world. Mayuri sensei being there for Ririsa at her lowest point and giving her the motivation to keep going just like her home ec teacher did back in the day was so sweet, but it was also a nice way to pay back Ririsa for the motivation she gave her a couple episodes ago where she praised Mayuri(she didn’t know it was Mayuri) cosplay. Proud of Okumura as well for being there for Ririsa and telling her exactly what she needed to hear, not just as Liliel but as Ririsa ❤️ “I’ll be right there for you I’ll be right there rooting for you. It’s not because you’re Liliel, it’s because you’re Ririsa the cosplayer” he’s such a sweetheart and I’m sure that’s gonna make her fall even more for him. Can’t wait for next ep Nagomi was cute in her cosplay too but after all the mean shit she said to Ririsa last week i can’t bring myself to praise her |

| I thought Ririsa's "breakdown" was a bit over the top and showed how fragile or weak she is. At least with the teacher being there and and Okumura finding her skirt I hope Ririsa gets mentally stronger and has a great future event as it looks to be too late for her to dress up in this event. |
| Average cosplayer: need a big luggage to carry the costume. Mayura: just need an easy to carry backpack, because she is that beautiful. |
 |
| Ririsa breakdown was really sad. Nagomi's word hurt her way to much. Okamura tried to re motivate her. Magino did a great job in helping Okamura to get his feelings across without hurting her. Mayura then also brought her masterpiece cosplay in order to help Ririsa. As she finally able to cheer her up. She said the right thing which Nagino didn't that you cosplay both for yourself and also to cosplay. Okamura also hit her home that she is Ririsa not Lilleal. He will be there to help Ririsa not cause of her cosplay but her. Good to see his progession and development with Ririsa.  She is lucky to have both of them in support. Very emotional and dramatic episode but atleast it ended well. Looking to see Mayura and Ririsa get some highlight next episode. |
| Good job, Sensei! Get her the time she needs. |
 |
| Well I wasn’t expecting to not see Ririsa get cosplayed up in this episode, I was like “surely they’ll figure this out before the episode is over” but alas that did not happen, however this was a banger episode even without Lilliel. Of course Hanyuu Sensei ended up going to the con too, funny how she somehow autopiloted the walk to the changing room and even bringing her costume lol, but this came in clutch when Ririsa was down because of what Nagomi said to her in the previous episode and Okumura couldn’t quite pull her out of it himself, cool to see Hanyuu cosplaying again tho, I wasn’t sure if she’d get back in the game or not. And right on cue, then came Okumura like Ashford himself with the missing skirt, pretty badass of him I must say, and his speech to Ririsa afterward was so damn good too, it’s just unfortunate they’re now short on time to get the Lilliel costume on before Nagomi’s shoot is over, but looks like Hanyuu/Mayura is coming in clutch one more time, loved the reactions by Okumura and Ogino there lol, next episode might be a wild one. Also, speaking of Nagomi, looks like her husbando looks just like Okumura, that’s an interaction I’m definitely looking forward to lol, and her cosplay looked nice too, cute design. |
| Okumura really shone when he found Lilysa's missing flaw and encouraged her after her breakdown. When you love something, there aren't right or wrong ways to express it, because love itself can take on different forms and be expressed in various ways. It doesn't matter if you do it for yourself or for another reason; the simple fact that you genuinely like something from the bottom of your heart is enough. After all, those are your tastes, and no one can contradict you or tell you that you're wrong. As he continues to say, many people will tell you unpleasant things, but that's just their point of view and not the whole picture. We shouldn't get discouraged by this; instead, we should trust in ourselves and in the love for the things we cherish. I suppose, with the little time left at the convention, the sensei will make a surprise appearance to give Lilysa time to change. |
 |
| Welp, Mayura and Nagomi sure had a rivalry going on when the former was active... Nagomi's criticism got the best of Ririsa, though her heart still clearly beats for Okumura at the slight coincidence. But her clear popularity can't be beaten, and worst of all, Ririsa missing Liliel's skirt doesn't quite make the full cosplay figure. It's great that Magino gave Okumura the initiative to help out of her rut, but the latter being about to burst when his emotions got out of control, the situation becomes near unsalvageable. Mayuri thus coming in with her pep talk, as well as her cosplay (just in case) being in secrecy while Okumura does the job to find Liliel's skirt, her role can't be understated to help Ririsa regain her confidence amidst eventually finding said clothing. Mayuri-sensei's role this episode is just spectacular, what will she bring to the cosplay that Okumura and Ririsa don't have? |
 |
| That was PEAK beautiful episode. I love how the structure of this feels kinda like its a battle shonen arc, where the MC is defeated but with the help/encouragement of an old/former hero they looked up to they are able to rise and win again. So glad this is getting 24 episodes now, exceeded my expectations |
| the drama is not my cup of tea. Ririsa should be more confident from this point on. It's getting old. |
| Bro looks like the most generic anime protagonist that every girl ends up mistaking him for her beloved 2D husbando I am done XD |
 |
| Bruhh ain't no way Nagomi's Kai-sama looks like Okumura WTF "A real Otaku NEVER Judges someone by things they love!" That's our boi Okumura. god damn Junya Enoki performance got me emotional again since JJK Season 2. Let's go!! |
 |
| bruhh mayura sensei doing cosplayer is lit !!! |
| Okumura's generic, insertable character design making him look like a million other fictional characters in-universe is such a meta joke, lmao. First it was Ashford, now Kei-sama. His speech at the end of the episode hit really hard. If you enjoy doing something, it truly doesn't matter what other people think as long as you're not harming anyone while doing it. Life is too short to keep your passion locked away. Speaking of which, love to see Mayuri back cosplaying as well!! |
   |
| Huh, drama feels a bit over the top, still a decent episode. Mayuri very cultured outfit. :3 |
 |
| Ririsa being kind of dramatic though somewhat understand as I'm a bit of a drama queen too when I think about it. I decided to upgrade this to 8/10, outside of ecchi and a couple other personally off-putting things, I have been loving this anime. I understand the manga was apparently radically even more ecchi than this which is shocking but wow. The dedication, the wholesome-ness (outside of ecchi), the comraderie, the cosplay, the ending, I love it so much I may even buy copies of the manga in the future (I finally started buying physical copies of manga though never been manga reader). sidenote: I saw the necklace, and our Ashford-Sama does in-fact look like Kai-Sama hahaha, that will be brutal for Nagomi, will have to deal with Mayuri-sensei who always beats her, Liliel who she definitely notices as potential rival, and her dear Kai-sama being on "enemies" side eeeeeeee 5/5, Ririsa was kind of triggering me, but otherwise loved this so much. Looking forward to more! |

| Okumura has went from insufferable mc to actually being decent. Nice to see his character development and seeing Mayuri root for her as both the club advisor, teacher, and ririsa's cosplay inspiration ✨ |

| Regardless of her status 753 is still an otaku, seeing Okumura and thinking her husbando Kai just came into reality gave her the confidence boost she needed, how will she feel when she sees him taking Ririsa's side next episode? Rushing to bring his kouhai's lost skirt must've been a real Ashford moment for Ririsa. In contrast to the last episode, the other cosplayers help find Ririsa's Lilel skirt, it's a community. Meanwhile, not only does sensei console Ririsa but telling her own story about why she cosplayed reminds her about why she became a teacher, she comes out of retirement. 753 could see her fellow cosplay queen Mayura-sama supporting the Lilel too, perhaps. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Very heartwarming that Ririsa still has supportive folks around her. Would love to see more of Okumura's supportive side. Can't wait to see what Mayuri-sensei will come up with to give Ririsa time to change into Liliel next episode. |
| I wish they'd cut out this generic male MC. Cosplaying girls carry the show. |
| That would be awkwardly difficult to work up asking random people to look for a skirt. I wish the anime community would be purified to be actual otaku only to live up to that no judgment line What's Mayuri gonna do put on a distraction or something |

| the way they tell Mayuri as a character is really top stuff. |
| Sensei to the rescue, guess she's gonna keep the photographers busy until Ririsa has finished changing. |
| He tears alone show her passion |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This Nagomi woman is literally saying that she's having fun but "crying on the inside." This is a legendary status coping and seething. Her backstory never said she loved any anime or manga she just wanted to be pretty. She fucking sucks. |
| Man I love Mayura sama so much. Mayuri sensei cosplayed to help Lilysa, very sweet of her. She's about to put a performance as well. Mayura sama the GOAT. |
 |
| Btw one thing though I find Juniya Enoki's loud voice annoying in this kind of emotional situations. |
|
| My eyes have seen the glory. Mayura it is. |

| @MegamiRem yeah, i agree with that 💀 it makes the scene unwatchable |
 |
| Great episode especially seeing Mayura top tier cosplay is such an eye candy to look at, already wanna rewatch it just for her. Okumura got some respect from me, i thought he was your typical seasonal mc from avg shows, I'm he is not. |
| Mikari Deficiency |
 |
| Poor Ririsa, her head was a mess and it made her forget reality. Good to see the teacher back in action. |
