Okay, I don’t have anything against femboys, tomboys, or whatever, but my god, this is like the third plotline this season revolving around them. Is there really nothing else interesting we can do with cosplay at this point lol. And yeah, I guess at least something is here to spice things up, finally introducing a proper love rival after a good twenty episodes!

... Buuuut then I remember that we’re on episode twenty, and Goujou probably still doesn’t even know that a boy and a girl can fall in love with each other. That’s where his character development is at. But yeah, this episode, especially near the end. made me realize something: people who do cosplay are seriously... weird in the head. Did find it funny though that Akira just went back to being a background character after literally being introduced lmao.

But hey, at least we got Juju back at the end! Also, anything with Marin and her whole crew this episode was totally boring. Sorry, not sorry.

One day, the two of them attend a cosplay event. Since each of them has someone they promised to meet there, they decide to split up and act separately for a while. Marin meets up with Amane and Suzuka Itō, along with Suzuka’s cosplayer friend, Miyako Honda, while Gojo is scheduled to meet a costume/prop maker known as Akira… however…

The one we are waiting for is here Inui san.
And this episode had some very awkward moments.
Still i wonder what's up with Akira and Marin seeing the reactions of Akira.
Marin doesn't seem to realise it tho so i wonder what's going on.
Maybe it has something to do with her modeling career?

I remember going to my first cosplaying event is such an overwhelming experience, even if I'm not cosplay myself. I think at that time Kuroko's Basketball is at its peak popularity so a lot of girls are cosplaying Akashi, partly because his body is closer to female's body than other characters from the same franchise, and since Akashi is synonymized with scissors, those cosplayers are running around the venue with scissors in their hands, very dangerous but also very entertaining at the same time.

"Wow, he's definitely a boy when he laughs."
Yep, I noticed his laugh.

AFTER PARTY! Hot Damn, we know how to do those in Texas. The main/official/whatever event tends to be too formal and regulated for our tastes, and we let loose at the after party. Not rarely we also have after-after-parties, and then after-after-after-breakfasts.

"Whenever you feel like you're gonna snap a work ..."
Yeah, when it gets like that for an Evil Overlord, it can be a bad situation all around him.

JuJu!

What is up with Akira? Real nervous and subdued. The more excited the others get, the more she shrinks into herself.

Who is this Aoi with the cosplay mini lesson? Does she represent the Author?

Was honestly not expecting to see Amane again so this was a very pleasant surprise he's a amazing character, Gojo's really found his group by this point and its great. I feel like this season has had a lot less cosplaying and kinda focused more on building characters relationships or just giving them more moments which I really love.

Akira's also a very interesting character, I wonder what her deal with Marin is. Plus finally getting Sajuna back again she was such a good character its great to see her again

This was quite the interesting episode.
Starting with another cosplay convention meet. Marin and gojo are meeting with their respective people for different purposes.
Its nice to see gojo going out of his shell and meeting up with people for once.

Marin meets with suzuka san and both of them meet up with amane and boy he has just cosplayed gorgeously again.

I was like suzuka questioning myself if thats really a boy for a moment minus the panic attack she was having xD . (not sure about the lewd part she mentioned)



As marin described how well detailed his cosplay was from the dress to the makeup & other stuff. All down perfectly, including how amane was portraying the characters personality amazingly. Also learned fun fact about photographer lines which was nice and quite a helpful tactic ngl.

Meanwhile speaking of gender assuming mistakes both gojo and akira meet up & its a suprising reveal. ngl wakana chan sounded cuter lol

We meet Suzukas friend Miya whos another reverse cosplayer. She looked really cool too and also really hit it off with amane which was quite wholesome seeing how their cosplays genre similarly aligned.



Suzuka also taught marin lot of photography techniques for her new camera as well which marin can use for her future cosplay sessions.

Back to gojo and akira. They clear their misunderstandign and gojo finds out the picture was Akiras OC. We get a little segment for OC cosplay as well which i thank the studios for.
Also just wanna put out Akiras Hot and i love her demeanor & personality. Fits her overall look so well too.



Anyways Akira describes her cosplay in detail and her design preference. But she undermines it was well as not being impressive but gojo has a different outlook. He appreciates her work in a honest & goofy way that makes akira laugh & smile making her feel a little better. Ah gojo you just make everyones day you lovable boy. Anyways akira agrees to teach him about props.

Marin & suzuka meet up with them. Somehow Akira acts weirdly infront of marin for some reason. Suzuka seeing wakana also mistakes him for a girl the first time due to his surname. Is wakana usually a girls name in japan?
(Edit: i mixed up Wakana as a surname)

lol also suzuka has something sus going on with her regarding highschool boys for sure. Vivid imagination *cough*

We go to a litte after party to relax where lot of discussions take place including carrying favorite anime dolls & stuff to carry around to relieve stress at work or as a decoration at home. Gojo was so happy seeing someone adore dolls like he does, my boy felt at home. Unfortunately our segment host Aoi couldnt join she was doing a great job with it.
Anyways Suzukas group had decided to do a cosplay shoot a for series called coffin but derailed due to some of the members having work and life responsibilities (relatable af). Marin and Amane decide to help them out in this pickle & guess who marin decided to call for backup as the final member.



Juju sama is back! Lets goo I missed her since first season and glad to see her back. Hope we can see shinju too with her. This will be a big cosplay party for real with new & old faces together. Also Akiras still behaving weird around marin so we need to see whats up with that too hope nothing serious.
Next episodes will be hype. Cant wait for next episode.

As always, an amazing episode.

I really love the cosplay event stuff, they're always so fun to watch and just seeing cosplayers is just great. Amane looks great as always but we didn't get much about Akira though, she was just sitting there awkwardly when Marin arrived so, maybe something happened between them or Akira just really likes Marin's cosplays and just can't talk because shes right there with her. I'm SO glad that Juju is coming back man, I REALLY love her.

Lmao Gojo thought Akira was a man and Akira thought Gojo was a girl. What a weird story.

Everything else aside, why is Akira acting so weird to Marin? Does she have something against her? Whatever it is, her friends seem to know about it. Meanwhile Marin doesn't recognize Akira at all. Wth is going on?

After all this time, Juju is finally back! That's exciting. Guess they're going with premade costumes for the next cosplay.

hmmmm! the prop-maker has some kinda beef with Marin??!!?? and our girl doesn't know a thing about it yet?!? how could the two of them have crossed paths?? since the prop-maker smokes they gotta be a MINIMUM of 20 years old in Japan. so that X-es out a school acquaintance. modeling job competition perhaps?

this 'Coffin' shoot is starting to sound like a new 'cosplay super-circle'... ;> like CLAMP or when a bunch of stupendous musicians 'just happen' to run into each other and a truly awe-inspiring jam session happens.

Marin was SO SO considerate of Gojou looking to him for approval of her 'buying off-the-rack' costume pieces instead of relying on his talents!!

I could be wrong, but it really feels like they're deliberately eating time. It's kinda been like that for most of the season but this episode specially feels sluggish as fuck. Pacing is so fucking slow I felt the need to start skipping 10 seconds. The whole aoi lesson stinger that went on 2 times. The long silence pauses. Maddening.

Then, episode's over and whatever Akira's deal is remains unresolved and uncommented on? I hated this episode overall, but even if it was just that last thing I would've hated it almost all the same.

Not sure what there is to complain about, The whole point of cosplay and acting is to be someone other than yourself. The further from yourself, the harder and more skillfull the act or play.

@IhnalakoKaina They are just following the Manga, this part was slow as hell too in it and all Manga readers were complaining too at that time , that's my only tiny problem with this adaptation so far , it's way too faithful , they could've skipped easily half of the chapters from the 64-70 range and nobody would have complained.

Anyway next week's episode will be a banger judging from its title, been waiting for this arc since the season started, not spoiling for anime-only fans of course but I feel like the next two episodes have the potential to reach love hotel from season 1 level of hype, you guys are not ready.

11:00 I learned something new. 3 types of cosplay.

14:00 I already know what’s about to happen 🤣

18:25 she whispered something crazy in the middle of all that 🤣🫢

Sajuna is back at the end! 🙌🏻

I'm not sure what to make of season 2. There were no notable romcom moments between Marin and Gojou. The new episodes try everything to make Marin seem less attractive. All the cosplay elements were informative, but also really lame. There have also been few good comedy elements so far.


It's good that Gojou is finding his place and making new friends, but it seems so undeserved. It goes from 0 to 100. Everyone loves him, no one is jealous. A few problems at the beginning and a slower build-up would have made this more realistic.


Currently, it's a romcom without romance or comedy. It's been replaced by gender issues and makeup tips. I don't want to badmouth the season, but it lacks tension and chemistry between Marin and Gojou.

@Bandulf I know you're talking about what you saw so far and in the moment but you should wait before making such statement, wait for the next two episodes before saying this, trust me.

You remind me of this one person who said the main romance of this anime became "one-sided" in the EP5 thread just before EP6 aired lmao

Hmmm, does Akira know Marin from somewhere? She seems to be cautious around her being involed in the same projects as her. Maybe it's her relationship with Gojo somehow. In any case, we'll see that later. For now, having the quick cosplay segments with Aoi and then her not being to attend the event was kinda funny, not gonna lie.

  • So we got a misunderstanding or love polygon-in-the-making with Akira? Or is she just an ordinary fangirl?
  • It's notable that this season has seen our couple with college cosplayers rather than high school ones.
  • I've been waiting for our cosplaying-tsundere to make her return.

@IzanaSolos Cosplay otaku are definitely quirky in my experience, though I don't know many personally that haven't eventually retired practically from cosplay to focus more on, say, working at cons as staff or otherwise prioritizing their own fandom, which I can understand. I still have several cosplay outfits I'm trying to sell and at this point, I'd practically take a Benjamin max for each, they are cluttering up my space and I've retired from cosplaying personally, though I can still appreciate it.

Suzuka's otokonoko obsession was what weirded me out a bit and some of my close friends and fandoms do have yaoi fandom anyway, or even josou, so it's not that part, it's how she's almost fetishizing Amane
