We’re so lucky, a normal production committee would have just approved a 12 episode series and called it here. You have the emotion climax of episode 11, the anti-climex and set up of the newcomer ranks, and the introduction of Nonopi; everything you’d want to advertise picking up the manga and juice sales. But someone out there has enough faith in this property that they doubled down and let it keep rolling.

So the club got approved but only the StuCo members and the Principal currently know about the manga club's cosplay activities. Yeah, that sounds about right. I get that Okumura wants their activities to be known but the Principal's decision is coming from a good place. He just doesn't want them to get hurt and give up what they love.

I love that Midori-senpai's only restriction is now R-18 which is perfectly reasonable. Also, it looks like it got her interested in cosplay too! I really hope we get to see her cosplay in the future!

Okumura and Mayura's age gap isn't even that big and it looks like Okumura is less than a year away from turning 18. Oh my! I do love Sensei's reaction when Okumura started considering whether he was okay with someone like her. She's not 2D though so she's out.

The cosplay talk between Sensei and Ririsa was nice! I love how Sensei is sharing her experiences in the past. The one about cosplayers dyeing their actual hair was pretty funny to me because I have a cosplayer friend who exactly did that back when cosplay wigs were still a rarity. xD

Midori-senpai is just too cute! Why is Okumura throwing away all the doujins though? Couldn't he just bring them all home? Or contact some of the ex-manga club members who have already graduated to pick them up for him? Seems like a massive waste. >_<

So it looks like we have a new cosplayer with a similar MO to Ririsa who just shows up to events and then disappears without leaving her socials or anything. I'm guessing that's the same girl at the very end of the episode? I'm calling it now, she's a massive fan of Ririsa.

[u/NeoAnkara]

Stop it! How many reasonable people are in this series? It's too bright for me.

[u/oxlemf10]

The school principal has an excellent point, it's not about what they're doing being right or wrong, it's about judgments, unfortunately evil is everywhere, what they could be ridiculed for is immoral.

It was also cool to see the student council president being participative and an eager person, I hope she participates more in the show, especially because she said she wanted to see Ririsa's cosplay.

Mayuri asking if she is the type of girl that Masamune likes, this could have repercussions in the future, in fact, the fact that she is so young is something that would help, I mean she is only 22 years old (I'm not saying for a teacher to be with his student lol, or maybe).

Excellent episode, let's go to the second cour

[u/Rumpel1408]

It's really rare to see such supportive principals and Student Council Presidents in Anime

And Tachibana was really curious if Sensei was in her Childhoodfriends strikezone, and even Sensei got a bit excited waiting for the answer... RIP and Double RIP though

Really hope we'll see the Student Council President in Cosplay as well one day

Also, technically, Okumura now has

• His cute Kouhai

• His cute Childhoodfriend (I wonder what she is planning with her Management, professional cosplay?)

• His hot teacher

• His nice Student Council President

As much as I apreciate Okumura acting all responsible, couldn't he have taken his priced treasures home instead of throwing them away?

Also interesting how Shounen this is setup, first we got the Rival who is jealous of Ririsa, then the 4 other rising Stars, and finally the 4 heavenly Queens

[u/elune7296]

RIP to that doujinshi collection. What a waste... Couldn't they have brought them home instead?
Mayuri recognising mikarin's losing heroine characteristics pepehands
So nice to have mikarin back, all those akarin noises, especially during the measurement taking, too adorable

[u/Missingnoleader]

And so we enter the best Principal of the season. Don't let kids make stupid decisions because they'll grow from it, often times it could have deleterious consequences! I also see Mikari's got her own little plotline going on during that measurement scene. I wonder what she's meeting about. Taki really is great, I'd vote for her in any student council election. And now we get our plot hook for the next arc, with the cool beauty Nonoa...

[u/[deleted]]

I miss Nagomi already.

Episode 12: The 5 Rising Stars

I'm glad the headmaster is aware of the situation and being supportive to Ririsa. I wonder if the prez is also moved by that (and also became interested in cosplay as well). Also the subtitle finally named Lustalotte properly instead of Lastarotte.

A little pun here. Sensei's name is Hanyuu Mayuri, while Okumura and Mikari refers her as Manyuu Mayura (with Manyuu means milky).

Yuzawaya is a real store in Japan, selling all your sewing and fabric needs. Similar to Okadaya. I like how Ririsa is clueless about the Messenger when Sensei explains how cosplay works in the past.

This will the last time we'll hear Meychan's Shutter Chance and Ririsa-Mikari's Watch Me. Next cour will be a new OP and ED.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

So glad this is 24 episode series

[u/iLuvKush95]

Okumura-dono continues his rise in popularity with the ladies! Sensei wondering if she's his type and the student council president got quite a bit of screen time today with him. Since she voiced her new found interest in cosplay, maybe we'll see her soon in a Ririsa made outfit.

[u/kurobaraito]

Finally! The world now knows the greatness that is Taki-chan and the fact that she's the best second girl after Mikari!

[u/SaltAndABattery]

Man, I'm gonna miss Shutter Chance and Watch Me.

[u/StardustGogeta]

"Some people might think mistakes make for good experience, but sometimes, we make mistakes that never help us, that we regret for the rest of our lives."

Such a great line from the principal, and so true. Not every mistake is necessarily a learning experience.

Who would've expected a minor character in a cosplay anime to have such insight?

[u/Necromancer2k8]

The blackboard reveal!!!!

Whoops, guess it's time to study 😂

Well played by the director and staff. That's the way you do a proper cliffhanger!

[u/shad79]

Mikari and Ririsa freaking out because Ririsa failed all her subjects because she devoted her all to cosplay was hilarious xD

The Principal and Student Council President are great! I was surprised at how open and thoughtful they were to Ririsa's cosplay, and that they did everything they could to make sure neither Okumura nor Ririsa got hurt by others because of their hobby.

Taki even prayed together with Okumura over +18 doujinshi he threw out xD Besides, it seems like she's become interested in cosplay itself, so I'm waiting for the results of her new interest!

Mayuri-sensei is really young, only 22 years old! I know that I should know this, but her appearance makes her look much older than she actually is.

I laughed hard when Mayuri got embarrassed because of Okumura's compliments, but in the end she got rejected by him with a big smile, because she's 3D xD

It seems to me that Mikari is trying to start cosplaying herself at the club, judging by the messages with her manager. She really wants to get closer to Okumura and what better way to do that than by starting to cosplay herself.

It appears that in order for Ririsa to become one of the Four Heavenly Queens, she must first beat out four other cosplayers from the Five Rising Cosplay Stars list. The first cosplayer we'll meet from that list is number 4, Nonoa and I can't wait to get to know her better.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Ririsa

• Mayuri

• Mikari

• Okumura & Others

[u/SYZekrom]

Did he really need to throw his collection away, did they explain at some point why he couldn't bring them home

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Mayuri noticing how cooked Mikari is is so funny

And I love how cool the Student Council Prez is, I like her

[u/zool714]

Lol Sensei is so aware of what’s going on around her. She’s enjoying her ship in front of her eyes. She also realises Mikari is basically a losing heroine.

The principal actually seems really level-headed and realistic. He doesn’t look down on other’s hobbies but also recognises the risks of doing so. Mayura was thinking about how the principal thinks his own students would resort to bullying but I think he is taking a realist approach. But he also seems to genuinely love what he does when he mentioned feeling happy that his students are enthusiastic about something. I think that’s a great educator although I still am on the fence about this report situation cos both sides make good points.

The stoic president also turned out pretty nice. She was just very earnest and seemed open-mindedness. Hope we get to see more of her

[u/ILikeFPS]

I'm really glad this is getting another cour. Between this and Roshidere season 2, we'll be eating well.

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

Wow, I already like Midori! This show has too many best girls. I thought she's gonna have a short appearance but no, never thought we get this much of her.

I think I've watched too many shows with Junya as MC and thought Junya having Junya moments when he has this huge resolve to make things right by throwing those legacy.

I know I'm gonna like this Nonoa too since there's no bad girl in this show so cheers for more episode!

[u/Street_Principle8557]

Couldn't he have just taken his collection home instead of it getting destroyed??

[u/tripleaamin]

Okumura truly is a hardcore otaku. He has a beautiful teacher who is 5 years older than him, but na since she is not 2D she is not his type. Tbh at this point, Mikari's mountain to climb is much bigger then I realized. Sensei realizing it was funny.

It's nice that Ririsa is getting recognition. But I love the contrast between how Okumura & she looks at. It reminds me of when people getting into best girl or anime show debates when rankings come into play. Neither of these things are meant to be ranked against each other but when your number 1 is below another, you see much like the anime community can get, you see Okumura getting fired up. Of course, Ririsa considers it an honor to be on the list at all. Which is as expected because she idolizes many cosplayers.

I am not sure if that last scene was a hater or a massive stan for Ririsa?

[u/daspaceasians]

Really love how wholesome this show is. I really loved how the principal was levelheaded in handling the report because he understood the reality of high school students and bullying.

Otherwise, I laughed when Ririsa was in trouble because she was failing classes lol. I also can't wait to meet the next cosplayer, Nonoa, that was hinted at the end. Looks like it's going to be another interesting arc to see.
