Summary

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!

Review

I watched the anime and was feeling the withdrawal, I needed more!! This volume pretty much is the same as it’s anime counterpart. I really like the art, just wish the backgrounds had more details, but it really is the character design and their personalities that really shine. Gojou is just best boi, I really like how even though he is a bit shy and insecure when it comes to personal relationships, he really is a guy in all other ways. I really like how he is always conscious of being respectful of Marin and her boundaries, even while she is being way too open with them. Their dynamic together is just so cute... I’m assuming volumes 1-5 or 6 is covered in the anime, so I’m going to rush thru them cause I really just want the new material!!

You can have Imposter Syndrome AND start today.

Life inspiration and motivation that includes an antidote by THE Neil Gaiman? heck yes. This sort of content, i need more of it in my life. Thankful that the algorithm is giving it to me to reassure me of the lesson i still can’t believe i’ve come to learn, none of us know what the hell we’re doing, we learn, and do, and figure it out.

Happy 2024!! I, for one, am happy to turn the page on the calendar to a whole New Year and hope for many great opportunities to come my way!  This past year has seen too much heartache and a crazy rollercoaster ride in both my personal and career lives: ·       I left a relationship and job that were not working and moved across Canada with 2 cats and my worldly possessions – in a new car I…

Next time you're feeling unaccomplished for your age, just remember until you're over 36, you've spent most of your life as a child.

Until 50, you've spent less than half your life with a fully developed brain.

It's okay to take your time

It's okay to restart

It's okay to change

Life milestones don't have age limits

You're doing amazing going at your pace.

With Open Arms...

In the hush of dawn, where dreams take flight, Whispers of change dance in morning light. The wind carries tales of what’s yet to be, A canvas of hope, waiting patiently.

With every breath, a promise unfolds, Stories of courage, waiting to be told. Leaves rustle softly, inviting the day, Embracing the journey, come what may.

Each step we take, a chance to explore, Opening doors to the unknown shore. The heart beats louder, a rhythm so true, In the embrace of the wind, we find something new.

So let go of shadows, let worries unwind, For in every ending, new paths we can find. With open arms, let the possibilities flow, In the dance of the future, together we grow.

It's not about being the best. It's about being better than you were yesterday.

i've been in a very "nostalgic for SpongeBob" mood lately and that's warranted a lot of reflecting on Baby Me being a Sponge fanatic and thinking of what she'd think of now. and i have to say that one of my favorite parts of doing what i do--and also the most stupidly niche--is that one of my first online hyperfixations i recall having was SpongeBob production music. i remember animating magical girl transformations in Flipnote to SPONGEBOB MUSIC. i remember feeling so smart researching all the songs and getting to hear them without any dialogue on top. very gratifying to 11 year old me. i was and am still very fixated on production music, and so i always get very excited when seeing uploads of these songs and spotting a screenshot of a scene i worked on among them. one of my favorite aspects of watching episodes premiere is seeing what music they added on top of scenes i touched. it's just neat how many facets my thankfulness for Doing What I'm Doing gets to reach. i'm never not thinking of how grateful i am to be doing what i'm doing

Nothing on tumblr is as annoying as visiting a blog and thinking that it's cool and similar to yours and almost hitting follow only to find out that their "original content" is just tons of uncredited aesthetic moodboards and stolen pictures from other social media or even my own blog.

"Art credits: Pinterest" Shut up! This is not a source!

hey man. i'm just saying. why would we put inexperienced teenagers with over-inflated egos and obvious emotional issues into combat classes and make them claw their way to the top of their dorms and expect things to just run smoothly. who actually thought this

Sometimes we don't see how we can accomplish our dreams. We don't have the connections, the resources, the experience. It might not look as though it's going to happen, but what you don't realize is that you don't need a hundred things to go right-just one touch of God's favor and doors will open that you couldn't open.

Get up every morning with the expectancy that He's going to surprise you. ✨️
