A loner boy and a flashy girl find common ground via cosplay in this sweet and spicy romcom! Traumatized by a childhood incident with a friend who took exception to his love of traditional dolls, doll-artisan hopeful Wakana Gojou passes his days as a loner, finding solace in the home ec room at his high school. To Wakana, people like beautiful Marin Kitagawa, a trendy girl who's always surrounded by a throng of friends, is practically an alien from another world. But when cheerful Marin--never one to be shy--spots Wakana sewing away one day after school, she barges in with the aim of roping her quiet classmante into her secret hobby: cosplay! Will Wakana's wounded heart be able to handle the invasion from this sexy alien?!

This could've been a 5 stars if it wasn't for the FMC being so young (15?) and portrayed in a sexual manner.
As someone who's barely legal this book would've probably made me so uncomfortable if i picked it up as an older adult.
I can understand the whole horny teen part, but what i don't like is their portrayal and the target audience.
Other than that, i love the characters' dynamic (cosplayer x costume maker) and that's the main reason I'll pick up the 2nd volume.
I also really like how the FMC had a few moments of wisdom that stuck in the MMC's mind? Those contributed nicely to fleshing out the characters

I enjoy this series but it has a tendency to make me uncomfortable. It gives into fanservice too much at times which is weird since the main characters are underage. I mostly read it because I like how Gojo gets more comfortable with his passions/hobbies and it can get to be pretty funny at times.
