What is the story about?
Wakana Gojo fell in love with making Hina Dolls at a young age to only be shamed about his love for Hina Dolls by a childhood friend which closes him away from the world and people because of his emotional trauma of having something dear to him being looked down upon. Marin Kitagawa, the most popular and beloved girl at her school finds out one day that her outcast classmate, Wakana Gojo can sow clothes but not actually clothes for humans but mainly for Hina Dolls and they begin a friendship where Marin gets to experience her dream of cosplaying her favorite anime characters in real life while Wakana experiences bringing his craft of making clothes for Hina Dolls and transforming them onto a real girl, Marin.
Now, there was a lot talk about this anime having too much “fanservice” (whatever the hell that means) but I disagree. As for having ecchi, mind you that Wakana and Marin are TEENAGERS with raging HORMONES so of course scenes in this anime can so hot and steamy but that’s the experience of being young and in love but the story turns it into a wholesome experience as well.
Wakana and Marin not sharing a hobby together which is Cosplaying but making each other grow in their characters. Marin’s outgoing personality brings Wakana out his shell and not be afraid to experience new things in the real world after shutting himself out for years while Wakana’s reserved personality bring Marin to connect to her emotional side that helps her appreciate life’s small details when it comes to bringing her favorite characters to life.
I really loved how Cloverworks brought this romantic manga to life and I hope to see more of Marin and Wakana in the future for another season because this show’s popularity made the manga sells over 3 million copies, over 19k and counting DVD sales, and over 200k Twitter followers and I do not see the hype dying down anytime soon since this growing fanbase is eager to see more of this developing couple! Here’s to a bright and successful season 2 (that we’re waiting to be announced lol)
