| It's great to see Ririsa and Nonoa become friends. This is start of a new friendship. For Nonoa, it's interesting that she overcomes her past. It's a character development for her and I honestly felt bad that she was bullied during her childhood days. It was an emotional episode imo, for her. It also goes to show that people can reach their goals. |
 |
| Ririsa and Nonoa are such cute friends it's so great that Nonoa managed to beat her fears and gained Ririsa as her friend. |
| man, i really like Aria VA (i should have probably looked her up before her showing up lmao) goated arc incoming |
 |
| Nagomi's come so far to have gone from antagonizing Ririsa's mindset to willingly be the final boss of every cosplayer less famous than her if it meant unifying them instead of having them fight. And her reward? An embarrassing moment to haunt her forever. Also, it's weird yet hilarious how soothing Nonoa's going off about her trauma with extroverts was to listen to, like she was going full rap god yet spoke so softly it could pass as ASMR lmao |
| 5/5, I love this so much. I'm 80% sure since they said "crossdressing" they are a "woman at heart" (trans-woman) of some form. Zero surprise their connected to the feminine faced guy at school. I'm 80% sure they are dating. Nono-pi is understandably so comfortable around Okumura-senpai because he really proved himself before just sitting there, in opposite direction, for over 10 minutes, giving her opportunity to talk when ready. Nono-pi completely understands that the other girl(s) were in the wrong, but she wasn't in the right either. I share her issues. That photo shoot was amazing!!! Wonder what Ms. Avenger is going to wear. I really like the lacking of social media usage / avoidance of social media attention. It's honestly better that way, as we saw with Nagomi-san. |
  |
| Just as Nonoa was getting comfortable around Ririsa and Okumura another character is introduced, this time being a gyaru named Aria. While she seems ok I'm a bit disappointed that Mikari has been put on the sidelines after I thought she was going to get more screentime. |
| "Oh. other people do that too ..." Yes, yes they do. |

| Hey look it's Marin I mean Aria, she is fun to watch can't wait to see some more |
| Finally Nonoa and Ririsa friends! This put the biggest smile on my face. They’re so freaking cute. Kinda ship it tbh 😂 Can relate completely to the feeling of meeting someone who’s into the same stuff you’re into and just totally getting all giddy. It’s such an intimate experience, might seem cringe on the outside idc you just wanna jump and down with joy lol. Their first duo photoshoot went well, but Aria came in and stole the show lol. Finally got a Gyaru in the series I’m so excited. Nonoa wrote her off as being a stereotypical gyaru who puts otaku down, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Looks like she’s got a lot more to her story and I can’t wait to see more of her! Also, Nonoa not getting avengers references was too funny. Who expected marvel jokes here lmao |

| @RedChrome I also get some Minami Fuyuki vibes from her. |

| Nagomi is real star of the show rn. "I am gonna go to bed and cringe myself to sleep" "Everyone do that?" "Everyone do that?"😭😭 She is sweet and great everytime she gets screentime, the fact she gave bad first impression is hard to remember now. Nonona still having some issues and but so good to see her have fun with her friend. |
| A gorgeous gyaru is always welcome to lighten up any room. Much prefer what she brings to the table as opposed to Nonoa. |

| Nonoa keeps making progress despite her anxieties, and that's really nice to see. The new girl gave me some Marin Kitagawa vibes at first, but not so much anymore by the end of the episode. Her backstory should be interesting in any case. Overall, a very fun episode, with lots of amusing moments. |
| Loved seeing Nonoa and Ririsa click like that after all the trials and tribulations, Nonoa was holding herself back still but Ririsa went off lol, I totally feel that tho, Ririsa is probably what I sound like when I get to talk about the stuff I’m passionate about too lol. And I wasn’t expecting another new babe right after we got done with Nonoa’s short arc, this time it’s a gyaru named Aria, I got Marin vibes from her like others did too, I know Marin didn’t invent the blonde gyaru but still lol. And although she seems to just want to cosplay for popularity, there’s clearly something more going on there, I’m really curious as to what it is, especially with that teased flashback, but I’m sure that answer will come soon. And now that Nonoa and Ririsa are friends, the next obvious move is to cosplay together, and of course there’s a character in the Lilliel-verse that perfectly fits Nonoa, being Nokiel, even the name is similar lol. And when the two got together to cosplay, some absolute magic was happening in that room, I’m surprised Okumura wasn’t convulsing in the corner lol, that hug was something else. But the cosplay duo was interrupted midway by Aria who wanted to join in, I can see why Nonoa was against it and kinda agreed that Aria should schedule for next time instead, but Nonoa warmed up to Aria in the time it took to decide that so next episode we’re getting crossover cosplay, or the Avengers as Aria proposed it lol, not sure if it will go well but I’m excited to see what Aria cosplays, I was thinking the secret with her would be her cosplays are low effort but after her backstory was teased I am starting to doubt that theory. |
| This episode covers chapter 44 of Volume 6 and stopping halfway through chapter 46 with the introduction of the gyaru Aria who is new to cosplay. |
 |
| It's crazy how Sayumi Suzushiro (Nonoa's VA) sounds so much like Bocchi here. Nonoa's so precious and now that her thoughts are letting loose, she's hilarious. Uh oh, gyaru that wants to cosplay just to become famous, but based on those glimpses of her backstory, there's definitely more to it than just that. Aye, thought so, they're going to gradually add more stuff to the ED, that's cool. |
 |
| Haha, what an interesting episode! I honestly thought they would drag out Nonoa's shyness a bit more, but I'm glad they didn't, and now she's finding the courage to speak her mind. The Marin in this anime, named Aria, is a new character, and I'm curious to see how good she'll turn out. It's about time we had an outgoing character who expresses herself without reservation, especially compared to the rest of the group (Nonoa and company), who really have a hard time opening up. Although Aria's reason for wanting to be a cosplayer seems to be just for fame, I have a feeling there's more to it, perhaps some hidden story. |
 |
| Gyaru kitaaaaaaaaaaa |
 |
| Cute moments with Lilysa and Nonoa. Happy for them. Gyaru's here and she's already stirring things up. |
 |
| Dang this show is really growing on me! :3 |
 |
| Ririsa and Nonoa go to a photoshoot studio with a variety of sets available. Nonoa picks a character from the same series as Liliel. While Okumura is taking their photos, a gyaru, who is like the polar opposite of introverted Nonoa joins uninvited. Nonoa doesn’t take kindly to he newly established friendship being intruded upon. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| New girl is here and she's a gyaru, those are always fun to watch. Wonder if she'll become best friends with Nonoa, opposites attract each other and all that stuff haha |
| Ririsa and Nonoa friendship is too cute. But here comes Aria the Extrovert Gryaru. Not the Avengers reference LMAO |
 |
| Aria just want to cosplay without caring about the theme, a totally no go in the cosplay universe. I liked how Nonoa lost her temper during the whole scene with amateurish Aria, who did Pearl without knowing anything. this anime is so honest about reasons to cosplay, fame, attention, money or wearing lewd outfits in public. |

| and low budget marin is here |
 |
| Another great episode, I am really curious to get to know more about Aria. I also loved seeing Nonoa more improve with her social anxiety |
| Nonoa finally gaining friendship with Ririsa, but what is Nagomi doing in coincidence? Nagomi thinking that Nonoa's her competition knowing that things aren't going well with her and Ririsa (which has already been debunked), the love for Liliel is once again hampered by her past personality of being a chatterbox. And the counteracting with Ririsa absolutely matches her personality well, which she doesn't really need to burn bridges unlike her past. Okumura, Ririsa and Nonoa going to the cosplay studio run by Mayura's friend Morichika, he's a real progenitor in the cosplay sense who's a real help. But him being busy for yet another hopeful cosplayer leaves the trio renting a room FOC courtesy for a close friend, and Okumura is once again in Liliel fandom mode with the shoot, with Nonoa being outgoing thanks to the cosplay that changed her. But the hopeful gyaru cosplayer that is Aria Kisaki coming to interrupt their session with her extrovertedness, even she rubs off both Okumura and Nonoa in the bad way, especially to the latter who feels rather pressed because of her speech. But why cosplay where she has the looks for media, and what dynamic will she bring to the group? |
