| Ririsa always seems honest with her feelings and how she responds to others. Of course, that applies to how she feels about Okumura. On the other hand, it looks like this episode decided to give Mikari a chance to bond with him too. Fair that she gets a chance after the cosplay convention. Not going to lie, but I always find the Mikari/Ririsa moments in this show to be amusing. They usually give those two the chemistry they deserve. |
 |
| It's best girl's time to shine! I have to say, I feel bad for Ririsa. I mean, this girl gets sent to her classroom to do work or whatever every other episode lol. That was the perfect layup though for Mikarin to make her move and finally become Liliel. Seeing and she's best girl, yeah, she nailed it. And Ririsa bumping into that teacher... best MILF of the season is on her way ;) But for now, we get to see my GOAT, Ogino again. Jokes aside, this episode is very important to Okumura's development and just learning more about the cosplay world as well. As much as a joke of a character that Ogino looks like, he wasn't wrong at all this episode. As a photographer, it's very important to build trust with your cosplayer and work closely with them. As well as, maintaining a professional distance is just as important—your rep is everything, and without it, no cosplayer will feel safe working with you. Here comes the student council to mess up everything... Fuck aquarium research, preach cosplay! |
 |
| It was nice seeing Mikari and Ririsa having time together alone. Mikari looked really good in the Liliel costume. |
| No matter how degenerate our guy gets, I can't help but respect that he'd reluctantly put his fellow Lilliel fans before himself if she ever pounced on him, especially in 3D. Wonder if any of the students would miss the "LILLIEL!!!" screams from that clubroom if they really do get kicked outQ |
| Ririsa just instantly improves my day! She’s just so pretty, obviously everyone hypes her cosplay stuff up but I just love her as she is. This was a nice chill episode until that bomb that got dropped on us at the end. Mikarin trying to get the tea on what happened between Okumura and Ririsa at the event was cute, luckily for her both of them are too damn dumb to even make a move. “I love him as a supportive photographer and friend” still can’t get over bro being photographer zoned like this is crazy 😂 Mikarin cosplaying as Lilliel to impress Okumura was sweet and it brought us to an important lesson. Anyone can cosplay any character, something people online need to learn. Just seeing people express their love and passion for a character is the whole point of the hobby and even though Mikarin might not be the traditional Lilliel, she brings a new spin to the character that many people would love! Also, notice that Ririsa greets her in cosplay by grabbing her tits lmao Okumura going on a photography training camp was actually cool. Up until now he’s kinda just been taking pictures that he thinks are cool or sexy without any regard for the narrative or story behind them. As a photographer myself, def can confirm that you should try and convey a story with each image to the viewer. Ririsa is already a great Lilliel so if you improve the compositions they’ll be even more set This ain’t just an ecchi cosplay anime either, we now got a goal of work towards as well! The four heavenly queens of cosplay sounds kinda badass lol They technically paid off Mikarin’s “lock the door” advice at the end of the episode when the student council comes around and tries barging in lol. Man that was a bombshell at the end though. It’s messed up how the manga club can just get demoted to meeting group status like that and lose their room. Wonder how Okumura and company will get out of this! |

| So Okumura got some photography lessons and Ririsa immediately noticed the improvements, nice. Regarding the student council and the heads up that Okumura's manga/anime club will be demoted, I think that with both Ririsa and Mikari plus himself and possibly the teacher that Ririsa bumped into (I noticed the same teacher in the OP hanging out in the club) there are enough members to remain a club plus they're going to cosplay events so hopefully that keeps them going as is. |
| Mikari tried to seduce Okumura by cosplaying as Lilliel, but once again no luck. She's still best girl though. It sucks that manga club getting demoted, but it was going to happen since there are only two members and no advisor in three years. Now they need to find an advisor/teacher that will support the manga club. |
 |
<3 Mikari, best girl and I love her screen time always. I know (presumably) she will lose, and I hate it.  AddaeAkono said: Now they need to find an advisor/teacher that will support the manga club. Yeah it's gonna be pretty-sensei I assume. Reecey91 said: Mikari looked really good in the Liliel costume. Yeah she would always look the best in anything. She's terrific |
 |
| Mikari has returned, and what better way than by wearing Liliel's outfit? But Okumura is such a gentleman or otaku that he didn't take advantage of the moment. At least he's trying to be a better partner and photographer for Lilysa, which is sweet. I always thought their club was a bit strange, especially since they never got in trouble for not doing anything. Now they need an advisor. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that it will be the teacher Lilysa bumped into, and it's pretty obvious that she’s Mayura, the retired cosplayer. |
 |
| They gave some focus on the teacher.. yeah she’s most definitely a cosplayer I’m calling it |
| Senpai restrained himself so it didn't happen Mikari room sex xd |
| Mikari in the Lilliel cosplay was certainly a delight, she got real close and personal and even gave Okumura the ultimate okay to do whatever he wants, but the man is so respectful of his fellow Lilliel enjoyers that he didn’t do it lol, you could also argue it was out of respect for Mikari which I can see. Ririsa was super delighted to see Lilliel in front of her tho, even going as far to check what underwear she was wearing lol, she’s a true Lilliel fan alright, and I liked how they said you could cosplay whoever you want, doesn’t matter what character is more fitting, part of the beauty of cosplay for sure. I also enjoyed Okumura getting taught by Ogino, man was very full of himself but a great teacher, Magino was very cute too and my respect definitely increased for her and Ogino after this bit, they seem like a good pair to hang with. I also loved the doujin discussion scene, the fact these two can just talk casually about that was funny but also cute, Ririsa may have gave way too much information tho in regards to the sub or dom thing lol. We also met the hot teacher finally, my money is still on her being the cosplayer that quit, and she will probably also become the advisor for the manga club after the events at the end of this one, quite the bomb to be dropped at the end of a chill episode but it definitely has me interested in the next one. |
| - I wasn't expecting Mikari to experience the "walk in on a female character who is changing" trope. First time in a while I've seen someone who isn't a dude doing that. - Mikari's hopes were invigorated when she hears straight from Ririsa that she "partner-zoned" Okumura. - Glad that we finally get to see Mikari in the Lilliel costume. I wonder how she pulled off the wig though, considering her normal hairstyle is virtually identical to Lilliel's. 🤔 - "Lilliel is my waifu, but she's other people's waifu too!" 😆 What an excuse. Okumura's verbal excuse for not seducing Mikari sounds amusing to my ears. And it's so in line with his otaku personality. - Ririsa's class must have been cancelled for her to return to the club room in what felt like only a few minutes. 🤔 - I hope Mikari isn't discouraged from donning on the Lilliel costume in the future just because Ririsa took a peek at her panties. 🙃 - Who are the 3 other Heavenly Queens of Cosplay? 🤔 Seems like the show is saving their reveal for later on.... - Ah yes, Okumura managed to obtain several Lilliel bondage doujins. Didn't know he was old enough to purchase those.... 😯 - It would have been hilarious if the student council walked in on the "Lilliel in trouble" photoshoot. 🙃 Ske80 said: Senpai restrained himself so it didn't happen Mikari room sex xd Even if "the deed" happened, with how censored the anime is, I doubt JC Staff would have shown much... if at all 😔 |

| Cute of Mikari to try cosplay out for attention Good idea to get some help improving on photography. Paid off with Ririsa getting into some shibari. I hope Okumura learns proper safety on how to tie knots right. Im calling it now on what happened to Mayura dropping from cosplay. This is without cheating just speculation but im likely right |

| Looks like Ririsa is bound to become cosplay queen and the mc must train hard to be a good photographer. I hope to see good scenes for best girl though. Too bad the manga club is in trouble. |
| How dare they mentioned about Four Heavenly Queen of Cosplay without Marin Kitagawa?? lol Okumura got some lesson from Ogino and Magino, they are nice people. Next episode title? Hell yeah it's gonna be that pretty long hair teacher for sure. |
 |
| Mikari, hoping for Okumura, finds Ririsa changing...and being enamored by him for cosplay ambitions, she's literally an idiot not thinking this in the romantic sense, but honestly, she doesn't need to. In the process, Mikari posing as Lilliel is touching Okumura's heart, and she definitely uses this to her advantage, though it's not enough to waver his heart. Even Ririsa finds that Mikari makes Lilliel look good as well despite being suited for Miriella, with the panties and such. Ogino makes a return as the master to teach Okumura about cosplay photography with Magino, though being an amateur who only gets fixated on Lilliel, it's understandable on why it feels wrong to take pictures of someone else being sexual in nature for the fans. That said, Ogino is a bona-fide otaku, and thinks that Lilliel has the potential to succeed the outgoing Mayura, one of the "Four Heavenly Queens" of cosplay. Still, Okumura is set to learn a lot about collaborations for cosplay, and with the "secret learning" from Ogino, he puts it to good use with Ririsa's cosplay. But to have the Manga Club be demoted into a meeting group to give something like the Aquarium Club a full room, it's not going to be good for Okumura...hope he has a plan to re-establish the club as it is. |

ArturPL said: I'm missing one scene from this episode (both dressed in maid outfits) either it was cut or it will be in later episodes They're cutting the more extreme fanservice wherever they can. Yes, chapter 17 was skipped, and the cosplay outfits that were covered were very censored. |
| Mikari thinks she has a chance, when only reason those two aren't also together is because they are idiots (or VERY professional and focused (too)) I see now, so that teacher helps save the club since one of the requirements is an advisor. Technically I'm 95% the club is illegal but >.> It is kind of pathetic that your manga club is so dead that an aquarium club beats it (nothing wrong with aquarium club, but manga definitely should get much more members). 3 years and never informed them LOL, has to give them chance to rectify So there are 4 "queens" with Ririsa's being missing due to alleged discrimination by employers. The opening is fine, but always love the ending, dance dance <3 absolute vibe |
  |
| I thought at some point Ririsa would start doing different characters, but after 6 episodes she's still focused on Liliel. So next episode that "hot teacher" will become their advisor and also cosplay, huh? |
| Mikari sees Ririsa as less of a threat as she's an idiot about her feelings. Unlike last time, Okumura's waifu being Lilel and not Ririsa is an advantage for her; her trying on the abandoned cosplay has an effect on Okumura. But he resists his urges as it wouldn't be fair on anyone else who has Lilel as a waifu...when will he realize he is Ririsa's Ashford-sama? With some nominative determinism and her huge cup-size, it's as if Ririsa was meant to cosplay Lilel, yet she does not discourage Mikari for trying to cosplay Lilel; she's just better suited for Miriella, it's fine not to be accurate all the time. To make sure the photographs of Ririsa's cosplays come out their best, Okumura gets photography lessons from the pros. One of the queens may have retired and it's heavily hinted she's a teacher at his school. Oop, drama about the manga club losing their room. Is this where the recruit more students to join who end up cosplaying? A save-the-club arc? |
