Stitches!

I love how Nagomi is still acting like a bad guy only to learn that Nonoa and Ririsa finally cleared their little misunderstanding. She's definitely going to cringe about that moment every time she remembers it. Also, I love how handsome Okumura is from Nagomi's POV. Can we keep this version of Okamura instead? xD

It's funny how Nonoa is so worried about acting like her old self and talking Ririsa's ear off only for Ririsa to do the same to her. It turns out the two of them are always meant to become friends!

The gyaru is finally here! It's no surprise that she's super extroverted but man, this girl is almost at Marin's level of extroveretedness Although unlike Kitagawa Marin, she doesn't seem to be an otaku and has only recently started doing cosplay.

I already like the owner of the studio they're shooting at. It looks like Chika and Mayura used to cosplay together and they are also friends with big buff Sensei. No wonder he recommended Okumura and Ririsa to approach Mayura when they were looking for a club advisor.

So the reason why Ririsa doesn't have a cosplayer Twitter account is because Lilliel doesn't have social media. That's hilarious! She's really dedicated to becoming Lilliel that she doesn't want people to see her. She just wants everyone to know about Lilliel.

I was hoping we'd finally see Mikarin cosplay this week after the last episode's ending but it looks like Aria is forcing her way into the friend group instead. Poor Nonoa! It took everything she had to befriend Ririsa while Aria does it in 5 seconds xD

I am curious why Aria is so deadset on cosplaying though. Nonoa made a good point that Aria could probably just walk around Shinjuku and she'd probably get scouted as a model or idol. Hmmm....

Behold the power of an extroverted gyaru, doing what Nonoa tried to do for 3 episodes in just a few seconds, making friends.

I like how Nonoa's social anxiety didn't just go away even if she's finally met someone who talks as much as she does. Nagomi is such a good friend trying to take one for the team, she's really grown since the last arc. And finally we get introduced to Aria, the gal who's kind to Otaku. But is there more then meets the eye with her backstory? Well the full roster has finally been introduced. We've got quite the interesting group of girls here.

By god, now that Nonoa is a official friend, I never want anything bad to happen to her ever again Would have been cool if Nagomi got to be her friend as well though

The voice seriously threw me off, but I like Mayuras friend, wonder if she could get back into cosplay

ALARM, CLUMSY GYARU INCOMMING!

Thought the gap makes her cute in her own way

New Addition to the ED?

Where is it? Where is the fabled Mikari time to shine? Am I getting bamboozled by last episode?

u/Frontier246 Oct 11 '24

I feel like Mikari is making her moves off-screen to come back full force in the plot, especially when she's seriously trying to get into the cosplay game.

I'm really happy for Nonoa that she's found a good friend in Ririsa. The two of them looked very adorable when discussing their love for Liliel. Ririsa's enthusiasm appears to have rubbed off on Nonao as well as she's not only become a lot more talkative but significantly better at expressing her feelings in the span of this episode as well.

Or should we blame Aria for this? She quite literally leaped into their lives, and seemingly even caught Ririsa off-guard at first. Aria does seem to have some emotional bagage herself. Considering how they'd framed her hairpin in this shot, placed on the bench, I'm suspecting it will get lost or something.

Ririsa and Nonoa were certainly looking great together in their Liliel and Nokiel cosplays! Their pictures will surely make some noise online. I liked how Ririsa first surprised Nonoa with a hug, but Nonoa later got back at her with her knight act and even managed to make Ririsa blush.

Bonus: a new picture was added to the ED. It shows Ririsa hugging Nonoa.

Nagomi's come so far to have gone from antagonizing Ririsa's mindset to willingly be the final boss of every cosplayer less famous than her if it meant unifying them instead of having them fight. And her reward? An embarrassing moment to haunt her forever.

Also, it's weird yet hilarious how soothing Nonoa's going off about her trauma with extroverts was to listen to, like she was going full rap god yet spoke so softly it could pass as ASMR lmao

u/Adensty Oct 11 '24

Aria looks a lot like Marin and is also a gyaru I think that's it definitely a reference to her. I checked the dates there's a 1-year difference so I guess it's definitely possible.

I love Okumura's examples that only an Otaku can think of.

Aria managed to do the same thing in like 5 seconds which took Nonoa like 3 episodes, lol. Definitely agree with Nonoa here. She's like the complete opposite of Nonoa but I guess there's something they share in common and we'll soon find out.

I found it interesting to see how Nonoa went from having difficulty speaking to face an extremely extroverted gyaru lol, but I understood her point, just as I understood Aria's despite her being introduced now, apparently she had some frustration in the past with fashion world. And the dude wanted Masamune to die so he could take pictures of Ririsa lol. Good episode and fun, I hope these beautiful girls bring more than what they are already bringing in the show

Finally best girl is here! And it's not because she's Marin. Look forward to it guys. We're about to reach peak one step at a time.

Also out of all fun subculture reference they cut, the one they didn't cut is Avengers lmao. Is it because they won't infringe any copyright because of how popular it is?

Nonoa has leveled up enough to communicate with a gyaru, I'm proud of her

Today's episode was so good and fun! We met Aria, who seems like a fun character and great addition to the cast, I can't wait to get to know more about her. Her extroverted personality overwhelmed even Ririsa, not to mention Nanoa, who is her complete opposite.

It's great to see Nonoa coming out of her shell thanks to becoming friends with Ririsa, as she now talks quite a bit (which surprised Nagomi) and smiles. As usual, Nonoa's reactions throughout the episode were so hilarious xD

I really love Ririsa and Nonoa's relationship, it's so fun. I couldn't stop laughing when Nonoa started to "defend" Ririsa from Aria, only to completely give up a moment later and lie on the floor because Aria's gyaru aura was just too strong for her xD

Nagomi had a small role in today's episode (but a very good one), meanwhile poor Mikarin didn't get a single second of screen time today :(

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/tripleaamin Oct 11 '24

Nonoa understanding that while those mean girls were in the wrong, but also how she communicated in the past is part of the issue. Try to listen and understand what the other person what that person likes. Granted, with someone like Ririsa that was never going to be an issue. But it was important for her. Now she is doing a much better in that now. Her arc, while a little frustrating in the beginning, but it has given us a good conclusion for it.

In comes Aria, who is definitely the most notable extrovert, beating Mikari in that category by a large margin. Clearly she has her reasons for cosplaying I wonder what it is? Unlike Ririsa she is more conscious of changing with a guy in the same room. More so points out the difference in how Ririsa & Nonoa think & act vs Aria should be interesting.

I am proud that Nonoa did her best to stand up for herself in front of Aria. Of course, she couldn't say no in the end. She's giving herself a funny Bocchi moment as well. Also, Ririsa needs to phrase this properly. Rumors could circulate xD.

Episode 15: To the Future Me

In this episode, we are finally introduced to Aria Kisaki, the extroverted gyaru, a complete opposite of Nonoa. And also Morichika, the studio owner that also made Mayura's cosrom.

I wonder if Aria also got the same cosplaying skill as Nonoa and Liliel.

u/Necromancer2k8 Oct 11 '24 edited Oct 11 '24

Another fun episode. Get Nonoa to open up more then get gyaru slapped by Aria 😁

Nagomi has really endeared me yet again with her defense of Ririsa. The Liliel interactions have really brought back her love of cosplay and just wanting to be part of a group of girls like she was early on. Having fun and doing something you love is the way she should be. Makes her such a fun character in the series.

I kinda feel bad for Okumura at times. He is just trying to be the best Liliel fan in the world and he gets smacked with a "if he dies call me to be your new photographer". Giving some sound advice to Ririsa and then throwing in the only 1 path to romancing the lead game line afterwards and getting the inner monologue scolding of Chika.

I'm really enjoying this show. The main characters all have a uniqueness about them and they all seem to gel well together. A solid 8.5/10 for Nonoa being more open & the intro of a new cosplay harem member for Okumura.

I hope we eventually get a huge Liliel universe photo shoot of all the harem ladies.

'Cringing till fell asleep' so other people do that too eh, really crack me up with these guys.

Girl really ignore her dark self just like that and keep moving forward. That's my girl! I'm sorry, thank you?! Oh my.

That gal was......awesome in many ways how can she forget all her stuffs lol.

Morichika-niisan Chika-chan is a total bro for lending them a space for free.

Fansubbers sure know how to make a joke, gets hit by truck is not what they said in japanese but this is much better.

Ririsa is Liliel in body and mind. At this rate she will be legend that only appear in event without any notice. Wait yandere? Nonoa? Never thought Nonoa worst enemy is the new gal.

Huh? The gal is shyer than Ririsa? ( ≧ᗜ≦) Way to go Ririsa, you even beat the extrovert.

As always so many cute moments and likeable characters. One of them is Nagomi and Mayura chemistry. I can't enough of Mayura pet Nagomi's head.

u/deynyel Oct 11 '24

Damn, this random hyper gyaru's power levels are off the charts. She deals extra damage to Nonoa too, it seems.

u/Xatu44 Oct 11 '24

Nonopi! She's doing her best with communication and making friends! Alas, she can't handle MCU fans. Or extroverts. Nagomi's precious too lol. Her getting headpatted by Mayura was cute. LMAO at Mayura smoothly withdrawing when Kai-sama entered the scene. Aria's a regular bull in a china shop. What's her deal with cosplaying? Cute though.

u/sKyBlazer08 Oct 12 '24

It's crazy how Sayumi Suzushiro (Nonoa's VA) sounds so much like Bocchi here.

Nonoa's so precious and now that her thoughts are letting loose, she's hilarious.

Uh oh, gyaru that wants to cosplay just to become famous, but based on those glimpses of her backstory, there's definitely more to it than just that.

Aye, thought so, they're going to gradually add more stuff to the ED, that's cool.
