Finally, it's back to more cosplay and fun after the more recent dramatic episodes. Turns out, that Summer Comiket had way more people showing up than expected.

This turned into more of a celebration of cosplaying rather than competition imo. And glad to see Aria being part of this. It always felt like she belongs here with the others.

Guess it's kinda obvious but Aria thinking of their cosplay group as a sports team made me reaiize this really was all just one big sports anime in disguise all along, from the intense rivalries to the tactics that play to each "player's" strengths.

And I'm sorry but Ririsa's goofy expression in the "anatomy of a disorganized cosplay group" photo cracked me up so hard

The twins are here. Koko chan voicing the crossdressing twin, noice. They are both adorable. Liliel group looks good too but sensei looks the best out of any of them. Summer comiket is posing to be a much bigger challenge for them.

A really cute and interesting debut for the comiket arc, but things are not working out as the girls hoped.
Let's see how they can fix it :)

Racing Mika.

Is cool and stuff the gang learning about the logistic of group cosplay with blood, sweat, and tears
but, I wish Mayura would take more point helping coordinate.

Everyones cosplay comes out perfectly and they got their seal of approval

The story about Lilleal saving Okamura's life with that spin off manga is the most beautiful cringe.

Good to see Nagomi again as ripoff Miku. But four of them have a bigger rival(s) than her. In form of Lemon & Lime. I can't escape from twins ffs.

Cross-dressing brother was intresting thing reminds me of Himeno of MDD. Obviously Okamura rizzed him up to.
"Senpai will not care of gender as long as it is 2D"😭😭

The twins have perfect sync while Ririsa and others doesn't. She can't do 1000 poses like she can alone. Also the heat not making it smooth sailing. Which is actually good.

The ED song has grown on me it is really nice the visuals are still lazy though.

There was a bit of cringe in this episode, especially when Okumura went on about the spin off saving his life and how Ririsa had to do this for him. Anyway, while the girls weren't synced up that good hopefully they will get their act together because I want Aria's dad to see their cosplay.

Feels so good to see the girls at summer comiket which is basically the apex of cosplaying. Really happy for them. It was cool seeing the ins and outs of how everything works at the event, I didn’t know that much planning went into everything in terms of showing up and getting photographers to actually take your pics lol. This show has been really good at showing just how complex this hobby is.

Lemon and Lime were cute new characters and of course the girls ate up their cosplays, BUT I really would’ve liked to have seen aria and her dad get their reunion. I guess they’ll be saving that for the climax of the arc probably once they get the photographers’ attention. We shall see. Good episode as usual tho.

This episode covers the rest of chapter 52 and ending in the middle of chapter 54 of volume 7. Cosplaying as a group is way more difficult than cosplaying solo for Ririsa and the heat is going to kill them if don't hydrate on a regular basis.

I’m enjoying this cool Fall evening, but the girls are sweating their asses off at Summer Comiket, watching them get hot under the sun almost made me want to take my jacket off lol. It’s really nice to see the girls all in their complete cosplays at long last, we had a decent amount of buildup to get here so it feels especially good, Okumura’s reaction was top notch, bro’s gonna bleed out before the day is done lol. And along with the arrival of Summer Comiket is new rivals, being cosplaying twins Lemon and Lime, they’re cute af for sure, wasn’t expecting Lime to be a crossdressing cosplayer but that almost makes it more hot depending on how you look at it lol, Okumura was cool for supporting him too, maybe even rizzed him up in the process lol.

But much like all the cons they’ve gone to before, this one came with its own complications, some I saw coming and others that I didn’t think of. The first being the limited poses, I had a feeling this would be an issue since none of the girls are as knowledgeable on the source material as Ririsa, so of course she’d have to nerf herself to match the rest of the group. Another thing was the issue of taking a photo of a group, that example photo they used where each girl was either caught blinking, mid-blink or even looking away was pretty funny, but definitely something that’s tough to deal with. And lastly there’s the big factor of the summer heat where the girls need to take a break, thus losing their crowd, my respect for cosplayers grows with each episode because damn this shit is stressful lol, hopefully they can make a comeback next time.

The girls definitely didn't anticipate the dilemma that comes with group cosplays. it's also apparent that Mikarin is the only who is used to taking pictures in large cowards, while the other 3 seem lost. I wonder how they're going to figure out the whole group posing issue an order to attract more people

I think it would’ve been easier for Mikari to use social media so Aria's dad could see the cosplay, but they’ve chosen the warrior’s path, and that means blood, sweat, and tears! All I can do is wish them luck and hope they practice their group poses better next time—Mayura didn’t need to keep info to herself until the last minute! Ogino gave us the answers, and sensei, with all her experience, could have explained how cosplay groups work.

Lilysa has finally paid back the favor once given to her; the cycle is complete. She’s no longer a beginner and is on her way to becoming a real pro… Okamura doesn’t hold back—he doesn’t care if it’s a woman or man; if it’s 2D, he’ll love it!

I know they'll bounce back next episode. It happened time and time again in this anime.

So the twins are actually men?

Damn, the girls are having such a hard time. They prepped their cosplay so well but completely forgot about their poses and communication. Let’s hope they get it together in the second half. 👍🏻👍🏻 Also, it was hilarious seeing Okumura get flustered with the cross-dressing brother after helping him with his cosplay. Lemon & Lime, what a weird duo. 🤣🤣

Finally getting around to seeing ep. 19, and to expand a bit on previous posts concerning the twins: Lemon is the older sister, while Lime is the younger brother. This is from the manga, and maybe for time the anime did not include that bit during the twins' intro. As usual, great episode, though was it just me or did it seem that the subtitles were not really in-sync with the vocals in the second half of the episode? Was this issue noticeable of Hi-Dive?

Aria is the hottest of the group now, but I guess also the least experienced. Mikarin definitely knows the best how to pose for good pictures.

Mikarin's presence attracts a sizable crowd but they cannot outcompete the twins if the rest of the group can not coordinate their poses, a struggle many a cosplayer and cosplay photographer has experienced. To make matters worse the summer sun is setting hin
Hope they can rehydrate and Aria's father can see one photo of her cosplay.

I really thought the girls would have more success at the summer comiket so far but I guess it’s just really hard for them to stand out at such a big event, which is fair obviously! Hopefully the next episode they get more luck, especially since they looked so cute ^~^

It's time for Summer Comiket, and not forgetting the OG meets of Okino and Magino, the remainder of the Rising Stars is set to make their move too with their even bigger fanbase. AS much as fellow cosplayers are all friends, they're also competitors, which is where the 4 girls stand as one Squadron together. The pursuit of Liliel's Side Story manga being the saviour of Okumura, it's the ultimate present being Liliel fans. But for the No. 2 and 3 twins of Lemon and Lime to almost suffer a catastrophic cosplay outfit with the latter being a crossdressing guy that almost irks the hell out of Okumura, finding kindredship is one thing, and competition is heating up between cosplayers of all kinds.

It's quite the experience being new cosplayers in a totally different league, and that taking on the toll of Aria almost fumbling from the pressure, the other girls supporting her is quite the natural. And since its Summer, the heat from the raging sun, plus audience retention rates due to the number of poses they can do with a lot of the disorganization, more may not necessarily be better.

Having the Liliel Squadron is good, but having to stand out is another, is there any other ideas to expose them more?

Awww, this is such positive and wholesome anime, everyone is so kind and friendly.
The costumes were great, but their posing sucks lol.

Making best cosplay is impossible on first try, the idea was nice nevertheless.
when stuff gets competitive it quickly gets frustrating for the individual who doesn't win.
Maybe they can do something ecchi to turn the tides XD
It's more important to have fun though.

The twins were so pretty and that was awesome crossdressing.

Damn lowkey confused about the MC's role other than photography (which I also don't see in the event), the anime seems okay but I feel the main MC should have been mainly Ririsa from the screen time. I was hoping to see some kinda character development from his POV but his role from the 1st episode until now is kinda diminishing. I wonder if it is the same as in the manga
