Premise[edit]

Wakana Gojo is a high school student with a secret admiration for hina dolls and aspires to become a craftsman like his grandfather. Having been socially traumatized for his passion, he had closed himself off from everyone. One day at school, his classmate Marin Kitagawa runs into him using a sewing machine for making a doll's costume. After admiring Wakana's doll and praising his work, Marin asks if Wakana could help her create cosplays. Initially, Wakana is nervous about his ability to create cosplay costumes for Marin because of his experience being limited to Hina dolls. However, he agrees to do it.

Characters[edit]

Wakana Gojo (五条新菜, Gojō Wakana)Voiced by: Shōya Ishige, Tomoyo Takayanagi (young) (Japanese); Paul Dateh, Jack Britton (young) (English)A first-year high school student. Being an orphan, he was raised by his grandfather, a craftsman of hina dolls, who also inspired him to become a kashira-shi (頭師), a craftsman who makes the head of a hina doll. Wakana has a large physique and is over 180 cm tall, but he has low self-esteem and is reclusive due to a bitter memory of being criticized by his female classmate, who thought a boy should not be playing with girl dolls. Likewise, he hid his doll-making hobbies and had no friends until he met Marin. Though Wakana's feelings for her can arguably seem to remain platonic for most of the series, he later holds the same feelings for Marin as he once did for hina dolls, indicating he realizes he loves her.Marin Kitagawa (喜多川海夢, Kitagawa Marin)Voiced by: Hina Suguta (Japanese); Amanda Lee (English)A beautiful girl with the appearance of a gyaru, notable for her warmth, friendliness, positivity, and outgoing nature. Marin is shown to dislike overly critical people who judge others based on their interests, prompting her to reject the advances of a boy who made fun of her liking anime. After a series of successful cosplay, Marin grows closer to Wakana and eventually realizes she is in love with him. She continually does whatever she can to invite him to different places and spend time with him. She usually lives alone as her mother died when she was a child and her father is often away due to work.Sajuna Inui (乾紗寿叶, Inui Sajuna)Voiced by: Atsumi Tanezaki (Japanese); Risa Mei (English)A cosplayer who presents herself under the nickname of "Juju" (ジュジュ). She is a sophomore at an all-girls private high school. However, despite being a year older than Wakana and Marin, Sajuna's youthful petite appearance was mistaken for a junior high or elementary student. On the other hand, she is outspoken and proactive, similar to Marin, who will go to great lengths to achieve her goals. Sajuna cherishes her younger sister Shinju and does all she can to make her happy. Like Marin, she is a fan of cosplay.Shinju Inui (乾心寿, Inui Shinju)Voiced by: Hina Yōmiya (Japanese); Jad Saxton (English)Sajuna's younger sister. Shinju is a junior high school student, but compared to her sister's petite figure, she is so big that she could almost fit into Wakana's uniform. She is 178 cm tall and has voluptuous curves, because of which she is sometimes mistaken for an adult. However, despite her imposing physique, she is remarkably timid. Shinju is close to her sister and holds her in high regard. When Sajuna cosplays, Shinju assumes the role of a photographer, using a camera borrowed from their father. She is also skillful at using a computer, processing and uploading the images she takes. While Shinju secretly wishes to cosplay herself, she fears falling short of her sister's high standards.Narrator (ナレーション, Narēshon)Voiced by: Misako Tomioka (Japanese); Brianna Roberts (English)
