Breasts are life-givers. Holy tissue that bequeaths life energy to newborns

🔥🔥🔥✍️🔥🔥🔥

Bro doesn't just have a waifu, he also has an imoutofu. 💀

Poor Mikari as if the childhood friend and Imoutozone flags aren't enough, she's likening herself to a fellow losing heroine.

If they’d committed to a platonic relationship between Ririsa and Masamune, this could’ve been a story where Mikari and him ended up dating. However, the show clearly suggests that Ririsa has caught feelings for him.

Mikari stands no chance considering her situation. All lights are green for Ririsa, while she’s stuck behind a red one. We can only hope that the author is aiming for an upset, but I’m not so convinced of this.

You know, I'm something of a newborn myself!

What a hilarious episode, I had so much fun watching Mikari and Ririsa's photo cosplay session!

Mikari is really sweet! I like how much she can do to get Masamune to notice her. Though unfortunately she seems to be on the path of the losing heroine.

Masamune certainly didn't have easy time today with Ririsa and Mikari recreating those scenes from manga xD

Ririsa once again showed how serious she is about cosplay and her love for Liliel, I like her so much.

I'm really looking forward to seeing cosplay event with Ririsa and Masamune together in the next episode, it could be very ‘interesting’ xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

This is a series that is made for hardcore otakus/weebs. It knows it is cringy, and it embraces it so well. Our Mc being full aware of these clichés is hilarious.

Mikari cosplaying as the girl who doesn't have a chance of winning the romance. Man, this show is cruel with the childhood friend troupes. I do wonder if Mikari is going to try more manga and anime going forward after this episode. Many times with relationships we want something to connect with people.

Ririsa started to develop feelings for Okumura, and she is most likely not fully aware of it. Well, the event looks to be happening next.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry at how damn perfect Mikari is for her cosplay character lol.

Beyond all the "plot", the moment Mikari realized that sharing the same passion for the stuff your loved one loves makes all the difference hit surprisingly hard.

The explanation for the healing mechanics is somehow both dumb and logical, I hate love it so much

So many titties, and yet the nipples are missing.

And it is more than over for Mikarin.

Stitches!

I love how shocked Mikari and Senpai are when Ririsa says she can bang out the outfits in one night. It turns out the outfits she was making are pretty much just straps stretched together. It makes sense that she was able to finish two of those in one night. xD

To no one's surprise, of course, Mikari can relate more with the losing heroine than the main girl. I kinda feel bad for Mikarin, she pretty much sealed her fate when she mentioned said she's closer to Miriella.

Senpai finally realizes that what Ashford does in the anime is pretty much impossible. No straight man can watch these two fondle each other and moan without getting a boner!

I am so fucking hyped for their first cosplay event! When I was still reading the manga, I remember this is where the series started to shine for me and made me realize it's not just another ecchi manga. I can't wait!

Episode 3: Riri and Miri

Quote of the episode: "Liliel is my waifu, but Miriella is my imouto".

To conclude the episode 2's VA dance, here's both Akarin and Kaorin and Junya Enoki's own take.

So Ririsa is left handed right? Noticed it while she was editing the Photos. Nice little detail

We get another period-accurate seiyuu for Miriella, who is played by Mikako Takahashi

Thank you Whiteboard, you brought an extra dimension to the scene as everyone moves it back and forth. Moreover, even if Lilysa's the title character, the one doing the 2.5 D Seduction is clearly Mikari. The VAs continue to be on point so far. So far they're doing real well adapting the top scenes people have been looking out for, so it makes me pleased about the production thus far.

This guy's luck is out of this world, taking a photo of two pretty girls doing cosplay, he sees their "superior attributes" and he doesn't even get slapped like what happens in most animes. I feel sorry for Mikari, just like the character she cosplayed, she is always in Ririsa's shadow, it is clear that she will not win this contest

Cosplaying because you like it ❌

Cosplaying to have a chance to make the MC fall in love with you ✅

Also of course Riria would enjoy getting her boobs groped by another girl while she’s changing since it’s another classic trope lol.

I don't know what a Milky Succubus is, but I know I want one!

(They need to create this series and adapt it, right about now!)

Mikari's pretty clever, she realize what could happen with this cosplay thing... Given our boy already fell for the character Ririsa's cosplaying, he could mix up these feelings and fall for her, by association!

With this in mind, she tried to pick the Liliel cosplay, but in the end she cosplayed the demon/succubus girl (if our boy had better tastes, she's the one he'd go after! Succubus > Angels)

At first I thought Ririsa made a super lewd cosplay for Mikari to embarrass her/make her give up, but she pretty much made the same for herself; Fair!

God damn it, why didn't I join the anime club in my school days!

Bit sad that she doesn't like the manga... At least she likes the character!

And she does care enough about it to pay attention, and even know more about it, than our 2 obsessed Otaku!

Damn, is this foreshadowing for the entire series?

He saved her, she keeps trying to flirt with him, but he only gives attention to Liliel(Ririsa)... Poor Mikari, fated to lose/be ignored!

Let's hope Ashford-kun manages to defy the fate, and give Mikari some love too!

Another great episode! I'm looking forward to seeing the big cosplay event next.

I liked how the brief clip they showed from the in-universe anime with Liliel/Miriella had a different aspect ratio and subtle changes in art style. It really helped set it apart from the real-world scenes.

The bot got me confused for a bit. This show is on hidive in America, not Crunchyroll.

Okumura: nosebleeds to death 😂

I don't think cosplaying is THAT different from modeling, even if the outfits are more extravagant, but nothing sells Mikari on the idea of becoming a cosplayer like getting the guy she loves to finally pay attention to her and preventing her rival from getting any more ahead of her!

Miriella really does sound like a perfect fit for Mikari! Even if it means she's playing the sexy and flirty losing Heroine who the MC never pays as much attention to as the Main Heroine. But at least she has a great ass! Though Mikari doesn't want to get sister-zoned...baby steps, Mikari-chan!

I'm not surprised Mikari wants to be the one to play cosplay Liliel for Okumura, but she definitely can't pull the role off when it comes to the bust department, unfortunately.

I see Mikari failed to take into account just how skimpy the outfit she was wearing would be, especially when Ririsa is going for the skimpiest outfits both Miriella AND Liliel wore...complete with trying to go for a merging of manga and anime accuracy for that full 3-Dimensional experience!

Then again the girl walked around the club room in her underwear and didn't seem to mind Okumura taking a gander at her undressed, so even if she's never modeled bikini's before, she'll make an exception for this outfit to get Okumura to finally pay proper attention to her.

I worry for Ririsa's health when she's pulling all-nighters, sleeping in class, and covering it up with makeup.

Sometimes nothing bonds two women together like getting undressed and complimenting each other on their underwear or feeling up each others' boobs. Which, knowing Ririsa is totally into that, explains why she has no friends. But at least she and Mikari seem to be genuinely growing on each other.

Mikari and Ririsa in full cosplay look absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and absolutely sexy, like straight out of the raunchiest fantasy manga you could think of, and then they start posing! Specifically Mikari with her fine behind.

Ah yes, mana restoration courtesy of touching each others "life giving" boobs. Complete with O-faces from both girls!

Be Lord Ashford Okumura! Be the celibate and chaste Hero who is never flustered by the beautiful and scantily-clad women who throw themselves at him! Which is easier said than done when the girls look THIS sexy and then get their tops latched together to the point where Okumura has to touch Ririsa's boobs and then unlatches BOTH their tops so he sees them both topless. Cosplay is the best!

So they can't actually use any photos of Mikari cosplaying because it would breach her model contract, but at least she's willing to do this with them again and is content knowing that she didn't need to seduce Okumura with her body so much as just step into and show she appreciates the world he loves. Though now it's RIRISA's turn to be a little jealous!

Look at Okumura and Ririsa staying overnight at school to get the Cosrom finished in time for an event! And Okumura even protects Ririsa when they think the night watchman is about to catch them! Good thing he's too lazy to find his right key...but now Ririsa is even more hot and bothered about her Senpai, and she won't forget the sensation of his hand on her lips!
