Thus, I see her as a Purity Mary Sue where she's too likeable that I see her as uninteresting that leaves me sitting on the fence, but will let her avid fans enjoy the positive side of her.Īs for the major supporting female characters, I feel they're the usual characters who can be relatable to the most of the viewers watching how they interact and/or come to realise their renewed inspiration after meeting Gojo & Marin. The good thing is that I like how Gojo is written that defies negative stereotypes of a self-insert male protagonist whom most of them give in to become a toxic hypocrite.Īs for Marin, while it's indirectly mentioned that she feels lonely & that her gyaru friends don't understand the joy of her cosplaying hobby, this reveal sounds more like a "whatever I don't care" statement instead of an indication of a more complex personality of the most popular girl in high school. While I feel Gojo has some character development in terms of coming out of his introvert shell, his depiction of being traumatised of breaking gender stereotyping roles and portrayal of an introvert feel like a bland stereotype with the former happening for the sake of happening because if it never happened, he wouldn't have met the main heroine of this story.

The introduction of Juju and Shinju is also a little boring. Also, Gojo seems a little too oblivious to this. The only real flaws of the series are that it feels like Marin lacks motivation for her relatively quick infatuation with Gojo. The funniest parts of the series are when people overhear Gojo and Marin talking about cosplay subjects and assume they are up to something else. You get to see a lot of cute outfits, so I recommend this show to anyone interested in fashion, cosplaying, or rom-coms. If you don't like fan-service, you might not like this show, but at least it never feels that forced. that Marin wants a costume from which was a nice touch. Sometimes the animation switches styles to make something more like a certain style of anime The animation bright and colorful just like Marin's enthusiasm.

Nonetheless, he goes to great lengths to keep his unique hobby a secret, as he believes that he would be ridiculed were it revealed.Įnter Marin Kitagawa, an extraordinarily pretty girl whose confidence and poise are in stark contrast to Gojou's meekness.
