| Even though they struggled to get more audience, Ririsa and her group were able to make adjustments and win over more people. Impressive imo. Physically, this episode also made Ririsa more tired which imo is actually normal under that weather. I love how she gets the support she needed from her friends though. This event goes to show the support they have in each other. |
 |
| It might've taken away from the moment but I was fully prepared for Nonoa carrying Ririsa to be an unintentional reference to an actual manga event where Nokiel carried Liliel out of a losing battle or something. Fr tho, for Nonoa to go from not being able to speak to giving one of the most powerful wakeup speeches ever was breathtaking to witness. Drink your water guys. |
| Really glad to see that Ririsa is OK, she really does need to drink more water. The girls look even more better now that they are able to coordinate better and do group poses. |
| Nonoa's moment to shine and the girls growing closer, it was nice to see. |
| I don't know whether to call it keeping the essence of the character or just plain silly, but Lilysa refusing to drink from a plastic bottle is ridiculous. If Okumura hadn't had that collectible spent on him, Lilysa would have been worse off. And if it weren't for the girls, especially Noa (what an evolution she's had, by the way), she wouldn't have come to her senses about her vision of "friendship" and they wouldn't have triumphed on the second day of Comiket. It's still strange that the only photo from the first day that went viral was of Noa carrying Lilysa. Well, maybe with her performance this time, Aria's father will go to see them. |

Things didn't go as planned but they came back stronger the second day. Was heartwarming watching the girls. Lilysa the perfectionist lol. She looked adorable drinking water that way though. |

| “I’m cosplaying with my friends and our only purpose is to express our overflowing love” 😢 This show has no business making me cry as much as it does! The English title really gives the wrong impression, this isn’t about seduction or fanservice. It’s about people becoming comfortable in their own skin, finding friends who share your same interests and doing what makes you happy. Could not be prouder of the girls for bouncing back after a rough first day. I’m ngl I was yelling at the screen at Ririsa like drink the damn water 😭 it’s ok Liliel isn’t gonna be upset at you for not dying of heatstroke, but that commitment to excellence is also what’s got her this far. Plus that allowed Nonoa to blow up so I guess it worked out. I love Nonoa chewing out Ririsa so much. The shy girl who couldn’t even speak to Ririsa just a few episodes ago is now able to spill her heart and pull Ririsa out of a dark place. We love character development. God I wish I had friends like that. I love these girls so much and that end of the episode put the biggest smile on my face. |

| Yeah Ririsa refusing to drink out of a regular water bottle was ridiculous but of course Okumura had that special limited edition bottle. Having said that Ririsa still suffered heat exhaustion (or something similar) but that worked out in their favor since they were able to practice group poses and were synced for day 2. Hopefully Aria's father will see her daughter's pics and will come out for day 3. |
| So this episode covers the rest of chapter 54 and ends in the middle of chapter 56 marking the end of volume 7. With four more episodes to go at the current pacing the anime will stop at the end of volume 8 which is a good stopping point with the end of the summer comiket arc. |

Nonoa MVP today. First that viral princess carry and then how well she snapped Ririsa back and make her depend on others. Good to see my girl Ririsa bounce back after a rough day. She is happy and shining again. And most of all she and Nonoa, Mikari, Aria all are at their best now.  They ain't done yet.. I love this so much. |
| Day 1 was unfortunately a bust for the most part with Ririsa passing out almost from the heat, they did seem to hit their stride near the end with Okumura’s help but it had to be cut short, it’s a good thing they quit early tho, everyone’s health is most important after all. But I still can’t believe Ririsa refused to drink water from a bottle at first because Lilliel wouldnt do that lol, that is insane dedication, also deadly because there’s no way you could make it in the heat like that, thank god Okumura had her back with that merch. And damn, was not expecting Nonoa to blow up like that, hard to believe she could barely speak until recently, what she said was the absolute truth tho and what Ririsa needed to hear, and this ended up being a big part of why day 2 turned out so well. The start tho was Nonoa’s princess carrying Ririsa which turned out to be a direct moment from the manga, I had a feeling that was the case lol, but it’s a good thing that got them attention, they were more set than ever for day 2. And man those last moments of the episode when they were all posing together, I’m not a cosplayer but I can’t imagine you can get closer to becoming the characters than that, they were in sync and knocking socks off, loved seeing Ririsa and the others with their spirits sky high, I’m not sure if things can still go wrong from here but they can revel in this moment for now. |
| Nah man, that moment when Ririsa was refusing to drink bottled water was the exact moment they should've hardlined and stopped indulging her. That shit was dangerous |
| I love how Nonoa expressed her feelings that led to Ririsa's character growth. Nonoa is the real MVP of this episode. |
| Show isn't objectionable, but I'm speeding through it now. I mostly like Mikari and that's it. Haven't seen a show so focused on cosplay before. |
 |
| Okay, Ririsa really only drinks from a Liliel bottel in cosplay? I mean... that's a bit exaggerated. |
| So much emotions in this episode. The girls are doing great cosplaying as a group. |
 |
| What a wholesome episode, I am so happy the girls were finally able to have fun at the summer comiket. It was amazing to seem them truly in sync as the incredible friend group they really are. |
| At first, the Lilel Squadron coming together as a group for poses is a bad idea, and not to mention being hydrated against the raging heat, Ririsa's perfectionist tactic may not be for everyone, but Okumura having the perfect complement and the rather hilarious Transformers pun of a plan to direct their poses, it's working out better than expected, but the heat clearly taking a toll on Nonoa and Ririsa (being the worst hit of the two), concludes the rather tumultuous Day 1 of Summer Comiket for the Manga Club. Ririsa's perfectionism is slowly getting the ire of the others, especially Nonoa, and Ririsa has to get her act together. Liliel's unlimited number of poses may be many, but pulling the punches on the big scenes in a coordination effort, and Nonoa's picture of saving Ririsa that went viral got into the headlines, drowning new followers to the introvert, which is quite the pressure for someone not used to exposure. And with Day 2 of Summer Comiket, the Liliel Squadron (most importantly with Ririsa) are back together, and even stronger, because they have fun together being led by Ririsa, who's now living her dream of bringing Aria's father's manga to life, which perfectly complements the daughter herself of why she chooses to cosplay this way. In a sense, quite the picture-perfect episode. |

| Ririsa's so dedicated, she'll refuse to break character even to hydrate. Fortunately, Okumura opens a rare collectable so that she has something to drink water from whilst staying in character. Okumura having a (good) idea with the finger pointing up pose is a reference to a line by Optimus Prime/Convoy in the G1 show, it's something of a meme in Japan hence the truck imagery but it's just another line in the American version so more overt Transformers references were added in the localization the previous and following lines to get the point across. Using his hat something they can all focus their eyes on, the cosplayers do more coherent group poses. Ririsa as Lilel succumbs to heat stroke at last and Nonoa carries her to a medic as Nokiel. For the sake of her health, Ririsa's newfound cosplay friends, especially Nonoa, talk some sense into her; Ririsa doesn't have to do everything by herself when it exhausts her to the point of collapse. To get the rest up to speed with her for the next day, Ririsa sits while they practice poses. It should be a cinch for Mikarin. Okumura gives some helpful tips like using the order of the poses that appear in the manga and remembering the scene rather than the name of the pose. From the mythril bottle to Nokiel carrying Liliel, the photographers think it's all part of their cosplay. On day 2, their improved coordination and many official poses (of course there had to be a Kamen Rider inspired pose) from the manga keep the photographers' viewfinders on them throughout the day. Aria feels like she's really in the world of her dad's manga and Ririsa has so much fun cosplaying in a group. |

| Don't keep everything to yourself! |
 |
| Nice! It was a bit tense with them failing and Ririsa even fainting due to the extreme heat at the event, at least now they're finally doing it great with all the poses |
