heh, at first I thought Marin is just a teenage girl, she is still growing, but she really is eating a little "too" well. But it's not a big deal IMO, she just has to stop having full-on meals for snacks SMH.
That camera costs roughly 8K and the quality speaks for itself. As a total amateur Gojo was still taking some pretty amazing pictures. This is really going to change up their cosplay game.

Guess Marin gained weight in the right and in the wrong places as well. But if it's enough to skip the midnight meal, that should be an easy diet haha

Great episode, finally a return to form of what season one so great. No more crossdressing or focus on irrelevant side characters.

The camera part is especially cool, seeing Marin being so cute during their little photoshoot was so charming. I have a huge love of baggy socks too, it's always been my favorite kind of Highschool girl socks in anime. So it was really great to see Marin rocking them.

Speaking about the park scene for a bit, something that really impressed me that the studio did was how every shot Gojo captured had different levels of quality. A few had slight blurs whenever Marin was moving fast, or it looks like slight over or under exposure, things you would get with a real camera under those conditions. Really smart how they did it.

Cloverworks brought its A-game this season.

Man when she was talking while Gojo was taking pictures, I felt like I was watching one of those ASMR girlfriend videos. Felt kinda weird, since we couldn't hear Gojo talk or not.

It was very sweet to see Marin proudly showing off Gojo's gift to all her coworkers. However, that didn't stop them from noticing that she had gained a little weight... Honestly, considering how much she eats, it's surprising that she hasn't gained more.

Without a doubt, the best part of the episode was Gojo's expressions: his reactions to all the calories Marin consumes and when she bought the camera were priceless. And also the photo shoot where Gojo took pictures of Marin. Absolutely adorable. That whole moment was very sweet.

I refused to believe Marin gained weight until she squished her belly, that's what you get for being such a glutton hahaha

Love how she's just bragging to everyone about Gojo.

The POV camera shots are so good!

The main question I have: Will the male main character (Gojo) end up being a fashion designer ... or maybe a photographer - later in life? :D
(Or he'll do somethign totally different. At least art-related stuff lol. He seems to like everything - enjoing doing the research and trying to understand how it works. Like with the stuff they use to make swords for the cosplay.)

I bet the person (though mentioned as "him" in the english subs) will a girl. The one with the katana lol.

The fact that Marin-chan was really happy about the cat plush toy that Gojo gave her was so sweet. It was also nice how much she still liked the image she now has of him with the other guys. The reaction of the hairdressers and her model colleagues was very nice here. On the other hand, when everyone complayned that she has gotten fatter destroyed the vibe a little bit. When she ran to home in order to check if her cosplays still suit was so funny to watch, but only the most annoying one was sitill suitable...

After she went Gojo's place in order to eat super with him and his grandfather, it was so heartwarming to see how they sit together. She was also really exctied about the food Gojo gave her, untill she realized that eating it before going to sleep caused her so got fatter. When she talked to Gojo at school, it led to one or another funny scene, with the animations being great again here (and their face experssions where funny too).

Nevertheless, Marin was able to pick herself up again after receiving her beloved (and long-earned) camera. Her style, loose socks and hairdress were so amazing and cute, it was just perfect after Gojo-kun made some sweet fotos from her. I really liked the foto-shooting and it was cute when marin made some photos of Gojo-kuns grandfather at the end of the episode. :)

Oh Marin... When the cosplay costumes don't fit anymore. That's a catastrophe!

Unfortunately, no screenshots this time. But anyway: Canon approves this episode. That camera over here is the M50, a 2018 camera from them. Over there in Japan, it's called Kiss M, not necessarily M for Marin, but nice point. Odd she didn't buy the white one (which is cuter, kinda proper for her), but kudos for getting her first pro camera. https://global.canon/en/c-museum/product/dslr874.html

Also, Marin gyaru is 🤌🏻
@LaczPro19 it was looking at the descendant of my old EOS 3000 that I had for fieldwork recording.

@Luthandorius possibly, but as much as it hasn't reminded us much this season, he makes Hina dolls, and Japan does sometimes try to maintain it's traditional crafts. If he doesn't fall out with the work, and there are no signs of that, that's what he'll be doing. Just with quite a few other skills on the side.

Mystery has been involved and I am here for it.


A lot of build up around gender and gender ambiguity this season. I love that they dont hold back and keep talking about it like it was something normal... sigh, it feels like people have reverted back to the stone ages in the year 2025 and wont let anyone have any kind of self identifiable marks that can let them stand out with their own unique sense.

Regardless of that, this episodes 3/4 part made me think of a few things, Gojo is he's family name, but he's "first" name Wakana is a girls name? like rachel? idk But that lead to having a misunderstanding that lead the other side characters be a bit more uh reclusive? IDK why the other characters were acting the way they did when marine was wanting to go cosplaying. ALSO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Sajuna is back! LETSGO

anyway, the cool character that cosplays their OCs is making me wonder what their relationship is to marin. step sister? co-worker? I turned off my brain when watching this show so I try not to let logic, or other aspect dectate the way I view this media (specifically) and now I am questioning something that is clearly being told to us that I am not picking up.

WHO IS SHE?


Anyway. Rating time


Plot: 10/10
so, is it about the cool cosplayer and marin?

Theme: 10/10
Gender, its pretty ambiguous

OST: n/a/10
beep boop

Characters: 10/10
Loving their dynamic, specially Gojo losing he's shit when he is trying to be supportive towards his idol

Overall: 10/10

Thats all this is awesome. I love it! ANOTHER! NOW!!! BYEEE

50.000 Kcal daily? No way... Gojou must suck at math.
Also, cute baggy socks. Marin sure upgraded her gyaru status with those.

Kind of an uneventful episode overall. Photo session segment looked stunning from a direction point of view but I doubt the fact of Marin gaining a couple of pounds will lead to something relevant later on.
@SouthRzVa True I was confused when he said that too. Maybe he meant 5,000? 😅

I’m shocked how the majority of the episode is focused on Marin and not Wakana, since Wakana is the protagonist, but it shakes things up and makes the series interesting.

Given that Marin prior to dieting ate about 50,000 CALORIES PER DAY, I’m not shocked in the least that she gained some weight. In fact, I would have been shocked if she didn’t gain any weight from all that. I knew that Wakana’s cooking wasn’t to blame because he makes sure to make light meals, especially knowing the type of food Marin normally eats (which is why Wakana’s grandpa offered for her to eat dinner with them everyday). I wonder how long we’ll have to wait until we see her do another cosplay.

Speaking of, this Akira guy sounds interesting, and this could open the door for Wakana and Marin to work on a cosplay that involves a weapon wielder of some kind. We’ll see how that goes down, and congratulations to Marin for finally being able to buy that fancy camera. I didn’t think the time would come this season, so I was just as shocked as Wakana when he saw it.

Now, when will the two of them express their feelings toward one another?

This episode was good but I want to annihilate the score because of that weird parasocial first-person montage where Gojo is silently taking photos, and Marin is just saying random lines.

That was creepy as hell, never do that again please.

5:40 Marin really needs to lose weight 🤣

7:05 Marin oppai 👌🏻

10:30 SHE JUST REALIZED! 🤣

13:30 fucking bullshit she’s eating 50,000 calories a day 🤣 I’m struggling trying to get 4000 calories a day

Marin is such a glutton 🤭 she gives Itsuki from Quintesssential Quintuplets or that one blue haired girl from Too Many Losing Heroines or Izumi Reina from Myriad Colors Phantom World good competition 🤣

Marin so cute and pretty this episode.
@kennynakawaki there are basically two calorie units used in the world, one is like an order of magnitude the other. o when they say 50,000 calories here I think they mean 5000 calories in America / Western countries.

The scenes with the camera were cute, but I felt odd about the first-person part. I don't feel in love with Marin; I care about Gojo's love with Marin.

Poor Marin gained weight, I feel bad for those in the modelling business always having to looking after their wieght. This episode was slower paced than usual but that is not necessarily a bad thing, I've come to like the slice of life aspects of the show a lot so it's pretty nice!

Poor Marin. She needs to lose some weight. Her diet was not bad and it was actually balanced, especially after eating regularly at Gojo's house. What was problematic were her eating habits, like eating a lot and too fast during the time of a day in which you shouldn't eat a lot.

Very cute and wholesome photo session. Marin finally bought her dream camera. :D Those photos looked great, and backgrounds? Their quality in this anime is insanely good.

Very cute episode, I like how they both explore their new interests like camera and prop-making. As for Marin's weight I doubt it's enough extra food to gain much, but maybe even a little makes huge difference for modelling and cosplay fitting. I'm glad though that she still behaves healthily around food and only refuses sugar treats but eats normal food with usual excitment. Really nice touch that they didn't show her drastically strarving or something.

So Marin won’t be able to cosplay for a while, at least not for the next event. I really respect her for not wanting to resize her previous outfits just because she gained a little weight. Besides, she needs to lose weight anyway for her work as a model. But honestly, who could blame her when it’s all because of Gojo’s delicious cooking? I wouldn’t be able to resist either.
CloverWorks absolutely nailed that park scene when they were taking pictures together. My heart skipped a beat. it perfectly captured Marin’s true beauty and her personality at the same time.
