A new costume presents Marin and Wakana with practical limits they had not considered. Time away from sewing also draws them into choosing everyday clothes together.
Marin chooses a succubus character for her next cosplay. The setting of the photo shoot makes Wakana increasingly conscious of how close they have become.
Homework and a summer festival give Marin and Wakana time together outside their costume projects. A late-night conversation leaves Marin with feelings she cannot yet tell him face to face.
Season 1 ends here
Returning to Shizuku brings the pair to another cosplay event. Meeting Amane introduces them to crossplay and another way that costumes can help someone feel comfortable with themselves.
Marin requests a bunny costume that stretches Wakana’s sewing skills. A Halloween party and an illness make both of them confront how other people see their relationship.
The school festival offers Marin a chance to try crossplay in a contest. Wakana must work with his classmates while helping her bring the character to life.
Marin works toward buying a camera and tries participating in an event as a photographer. Wakana meets a fellow craft enthusiast and discovers more of the community around cosplay.
A horror-game group cosplay brings several friends into one demanding shoot. Costume work and scheduling are only part of the challenge as the group learns about one another’s concerns.
Marin and Wakana prepare Haniel for Winter Comiket. Wakana’s determination to get the costume right competes with Marin’s wish to speak openly about her feelings.
