Synopsis

Engrossed in the family business of traditional doll making, Wakana Gojou is a reserved high school freshman without friends. Harboring painful memories of a childhood friend's disdain toward his interest, Gojou cannot relate to his classmates and their pastimes, eventually isolating himself.

Gojou has yet to perfect his crafting of dolls' faces, but is exceptionally skilled at making their clothes. His finesse with the sewing machine is soon discovered by his beautiful classmate Marin Kitagawa, whose boldness and honesty Gojou both admires and envies. Instantly, she shares with Gojou her own hobby: she likes to cosplay as characters from erotic video games.

However, Kitagawa cannot sew her own costumes, leading her to seek Gojou's expertise. Now, as he is dragged along to the charming girl's endless cosplay-related affairs, Kitagawa becomes his first friend who fully accepts him. Thus, although polar opposites, their relationship slowly blossoms through their aptitude in helping each other in the intricate world of cosplay.

This has been a really fun and overall enjoyable read. Marin and Gojo and their dynamic and development has grown. It was really shown in Gojo's individual development as a person aspiring to make Hina dolls the best he can, and also in his personality.


I think that if you read this for the romance mainly, some may be disappointed, as I do feel that it was like 60-70% Cosplay and other stuff and then the rest being the romance, but the manga didn't shy away from the romance. Although short and sweet, the last few chapters was a great ending to be had, although ...

Mixed Feelings
"Why?"

Even after hearing the unexpected "next chapter will be the last one" last month, and reading the last chapter today, it seems like it is a consensus: "why did the author end the manga like this?"

The whole cosplay idea behind the manga is good, we get some behind the scenes on how far cosplayers go to create their costumes with different make-up tricks, stuffing, concealing, fabrics, a wide variety of topics that are very ...

This manga was too frustrating to read in my opinion, especially since I read it while the chapters were coming out. Every chapter took almost a month or sometimes more than a month to release, for each one to be disappointment after disappointment, it became really tiring really fast, but now that it's finished, the reading experience might be a bit better... still, there are many issues with Sono Bisque Doll.

But first I'm gonna talk about the "good", and that is the relationship between Gojo and Marin of course, the stuff about cosplay is nice too, but most of us kept reading because of the ...
