they all met up
somethings wrong with akira
It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime.
Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others

Akira is pretty sus ngl. Gojou asked some tips to her about cosplay and he learned something new. Marin arrived with Suzuka inviting Gojou for after party for cosplay in Suzuka place. Ends on cliffhanger

there is drama in the background?

I just had to come and say Akira seems to be a cool character, like a cool beauty type. Wakana thinking he's met her before still has me kinda thinking she may be the girl from the beginning that traumatised him.

All the characters meeting up, maybe Akira isn't good around energetic girls like Marin or she has some sort of complex like not feeling feminine.

Uh that Akira girl is special, so she's making original cosplay not based on a already existing character, that's cool, but I wonder where Gojou thinks he met her before, anyway there is also the afterparty with Suzuka so I wonder what will happens next.

We are at the chapter 70(as you can see), and our main-kun doesn't even know that a boy and a girl can fell in love with each other. We are at that stage of his development. Also why you asking here.

So Akira is Gojou's childhood friend confirmed? Gojou mentions that he thinks he has seen her before and also at the end of the chapter when Marin called him Gojou, Akira reacted to that. She knew him as Wakana till now so makes sense.

Great chapter! Though, I don't think Akira is Gojou's chilhood friend. If she's Suzuka's friend, then she should also be an adult. She's probably a cosplayer we've seen before, though I don't know the reason why she's acting shy.

Yeah, we've seen her age as other point out. My guess for why she's acting shy is shes basically a self-contained Gojou - not social at all, expresses herself through her creativity... So I'm thinking her purpose is he'll learn from her about more creative tools AND loosen his ideas of who can cosplay and why ... leading to him cosplaying <3

While I don't think there will be any romantic competition - I can see Marin getting jealous if Gojou meets up with her after - or if he focus on her during the party.

Not sure if Akira actually knows Wakana, or if her personality clashes with the force that is Marin. We shall see in the next couple of chapters. I'll throw the older sister of Wakana's childhood friend out there as a possibility.

Remember, Gojuo-kun, stay healthy, if you can...... :' )

What's up with Akira's reaction to Kitagawa? She gets weird before Suzuka called her out. Is it jealousy?

Well Marin realized for herself that she is has a crush on him. Before that she didn’t really see him in a romantic way as the anime implies. So I wouldn’t necessarily say 0 progress. But Gojou is dense.

While it is sus that Gojou thinks she looks familiar, there are two reasons I doubt Akira is the childhood friend who traumatised Gojou

1. The age gap. She's 20 (possibly turning 21) and Gojou is 15 turning 16. That's quite a big age gap, and I can't really see a 10yo girl playing with a 5yo boy unless they were siblings. They seemed very much like classmates. Some may be thinking she lied about her age, but she can be seen smoking. Pretty sure you can only smoke in Japan at 20, and since this is a pretty wholesome manga, I doubt they'd show wanton lawbreaking.

2. I get that people change in 10 years, but let's be real, her face, combined with her name, would be an instant trigger for Gojou, as probably after his parents death and seeing a Hina doll for the first time, this was probably the most pivotal moment in his life (before meeting Kitagawa). There's no way he wouldn't recognise her.

Here are my theories:
1. (A bit of a reach) she's the older sister of the childhood friend
2. She can't deal with extremely extroverted people like Kitagawa (quite likely) (although she can handle Suzuka, who's quite the horndog)
3. (Also a possibility) she already knows who Kitagawa is and is a massive fan (could just be idolising or she could have a crush on her) and is really nervous in person

It is, in fact, possible that any combination of 1, 2 and 3 are all true, or I could be completely wrong, but I look forward to finding out all the same.

I feel the anime will show this in either ep 5 or 6 (depending on how the adapt the next part). And there is good progress (IMO) throughout the entire series. But the romance angle is backseat to the development of Marin and Gojo as people and educating around cosplaying in general. So it'll be a slooooow burn.

I m all up for that, found it odd to introduce that girl early on, have a clear face and all, used more than once, even have a name for her, solely to never introduce her later.

TBH, I would get a bit annoyed if they introduced a male rival for Gojou, but since it is a female rival to Marin, I m way finer with it, that is just how my brain works, I don't want to see Marin getting touchy with other guys, but I don't care if Gojou gets with other girls, it would be more fun to see Marin's reaction too.
I guess I m way more used to harems than reversed harems.

If she is anyone from previous events (we've seen) this is by far the closest I think it could be. Similar face/sullen look - plus the traditional Japanese accents in her cosplay like was mentioned in their discussion this chapter.

I am upset, I skimmed through looking for cosplayers and totally missed this. :P

Personally, I enjoyed the manga a ton! When I saw this was slated for this season I read it and loved it. It's easily one of my favorites. A benefit the manga has is being drawn you can really appreciate the art more.

You can give it a try, we're about 1.5 volumes in currently.

Was it really her? Akira got along well with Wakana who was very interested in original cosplays, but when he heard Marin call him "Gojou-kun!" her face has changed, it could also be because of Marin, however it is not made clear.
Would it be Gojou-kun's childhood friend, the same one who would have rejected her passion for hina dolls? Both are very similar.

Considering the age difference, if Akira already knows Marin, one possibility could be that they know each other through Marin's modeling job. In that case, Akira could either be another model, or someone like a photographer, prop person, etc.

Or, since she recognizes Marin, and Gojou thinks she looks familiar, maybe she's a teacher at their school?

It would be a bit odd if she was Gojou's childhood friend but didn't recognize him from the name Wakana, considering in the flashbacks that girl called him Wa-chan. She also seemed to be specifically avoiding meeting Marin's eyes after she showed up, so I think it's more likely she was reacting to Marin rather than the name "Gojou-kun"

This is what I am thinking. They both confirmed if their names were their real names hinting they don't actually know eachother - so its likely that when Gojou tagged along to her modelling gig she was there too. Or she's a cosplayer he saw the work of when Marin was showing him stuff like mentioned above.

This would mean that perhaps she does have a past with Marin - but Marin clearly doesn't recognize/know her - based on her greeting.... curious :P

But that could lead into her not being noticed by Marin causing this awkward/discomfort around her. And we all know how hurt we'd be if ~Marin didn't notice us~

Truth is she probably lied about her age as she probably couldn't do what she does underage. She most likely is the childhood friend and honestly had feelings for Gojo. the real question is what do they with her character does she stick around and cause drama for Marin and Gojo or does she just simply apologize for what she did as a kid.
