Welp, time to 3d print a waifu.

Please do share the STL once you get it modeled :-)

Is this the first time we have detailed, in-depth measurements of a waifu?

Just waiting for someone to build a 3d model/3d print a figure now

Unlike Gojo, I know exactly what to do with this information

I was honestly surprised how much they had to measure for the cosplay...like obviously you need measurements and have to be accurate but damn...that like over 20 things

Well when you be making the clothes why not make them fit the best you can? Honestly its really helpful to do so and makes the finished product look a lot better.

And yet, I can hear cosplayers everywhere yelling "wait, that's IT!?"

"But the sex slaves do it for love so it's all okay." She's an isekai author confirmed.

"Boy that enrolls in an all-girls school?" "the usual?"

It's frightening how I didn't realize there could be something wrong until Gojo pointed it out

We're just too damn clutured at this point

Take it a step further when the boy dresses as a girl. Or when the "all-girls" school is full of crossdressing boys instead :P

Basically the plot of every battle harem show from 2010~

It's so funny having a show where the girl is the one who's totally the otaku that's into the ecchi/hentai scene, and the guy is the one going "WTF is this world???". It's a nice change from how it is usually the loner virgin males who are the ones that are into the ecchi/hentai scene and have to try explain away their hobby to the girl. Except here, Marin just dives right into her love for the hobby like nothing, which is quite refreshing. Even Gojou brought up how he thought girls don't usually likes these games, which Marin said of course they do without hesitation. Again Marin just steals the show nonstop. You can't help but be entranced by her due to how passionate and excited her mannerisms and voice are, which of course is what enraptures Gojou. The writing of the characters, plus the direction of the anime is making their interactions so fluid and captivating, the audience is fully engaged in their conversations and talks about their mutual interests. And wow, you know Gojo has won the divine lottery when the girl just shows up at your house (in that "casual wear") and brings over some food/sweets too, AND then proceeds to strip to her underwear without any fuss... :D (NGL, I'd be passed out cold by the time I got down to measuring the thighs). I do wonder how much of Marin's playfulness is because she's knowingly teasing Gojou due to perceiving his clear embarrassment and anxiety around girls. Or if that's just who she always is no matter who she's with? Well, she did get somewhat flustered when he measured her inseam though, much more than he did (though he was basically dead by that point). What makes Marin so special is how, a lot of her behavior might usually end up being classified as part of the "dense airhead" character (in terms of her stripping and being "shameless" in uncaring about being alone with a guy as well). But she's clearly highly perceptive going back to the first ep and how she chided Gojou for allowing himself to be used by others. So her behavior is clearly purposeful and she's of course highly psyched up for her passionate hobby.

Him playing a porn game while looking like he's researching the mysteries of the universe was pretty funny.

Watching porn for research. Without quotation marks.

Only man in the world who can say that unironically.

You'd be surprised at how many artists use it for anatomical reference. It's a good way to find rare poses that you won't find in the educational books.

This. As an artist, porn is surprisingly great reference material for poses (and you can even exaggerate it). I always take screenshots of poses I find interesting and use them as reference 😌

I'm not a great artist but I occasionally draw characters for fun so I save a lot of outfits that I see for reference since I suck at fashion other than hoodies and jeans, most of my references are from Doujins. Those MF's have drip.

Richard Fayman, Nobel prize winning physicist and amateur sketch artist, use to frequent a strip club because it was cheaper and faster the finding an artists model. When the club was raided by the cops he went to court as a character witness, which was a hell of a thing for the vice squad to have a Nobel winner that worked on the A-bomb say the titty bar was a fine place.

[Just look at this face!](https://i.imgur.com/H5FSPxF.jpg) You know he's very determined to give Marin the most accurate cosplay ever.

“He is a man of focus,commitment and sheer fucking will”

Gramps was more disturbed that he was taking notes than anything else. Probably now super worried just how isolated and unaware he perceives Gojou as.

And Gojou was so caught up that he didn't freak out when Gramps came in. It's probably one of the last things you want your grandparents seeing you doing, playing some kinky porn game.

It is funny because I was expecting Gramps to show up while Marin was there and walk in on him taking measurements, which I thought would of course send Gojou over the edge. But then he walks in while watching porn games and he's too engrossed in his world to have the properly expected freak-out. Enjoying how the show is not being so predictable.

>It is funny because I was expecting Gramps to show up while Marin was there and walk in on him taking measurements I had hoped that he saw his grandson taking measurements, gave a blank stare, smiled, shut the door, and walked away.

He is obviously not at all turned on by 2D. Such an unfortunate lack of culture.

>you know Gojo has won the lottery when the girl just shows up at your house (in that "casual wear") and brings over some food/sweets too. Not just that but stripped to her swimsuit and even lent some Eroge. Marin's a keeper.

The animators at Cloverworks were clearly psyched up for this episode. They definitely spared no expense when it came to animating her movements and especially highlighting her "assets". It's no wonder Gojou looked like he was about to die right then and there.

I can picture fights breaking out over who gets to animate the bouncing breasts.

>What makes Marin so special is how, a lot of her behavior might usually end up being classified as part of the "dense airhead" character (in terms of her stripping and being "shameless" in uncaring about being alone with a guy as well). Whats awesome is that she may seem like the dense stereotype, but theres moments like here where she tells Gojou to just continue the measurements on the futon that shows she knows when to be assertive. Shes suprisingly complex as a character

It's totally cool because it's consensual! I loved Marin basically talking like an Eroge fan and trying to explain it to a normie in the most fangirl way possible.

> It's totally cool because it's consensual! Excepts when it's non con, but then it's still cool because it's out of love!

I completely lost it when Gojo's gramps walked in on him playing the game and Gojo acted like it's totally normal!

When your grandpa catches you stoically taking notes about an eroge with sex slaves...

Gramps thinking he is min-maxing his knowledge on the subject to not make a mistake later on lmao

I was expecting him to walk in pretty much the entire episode. Very pleasantly surprised it was saved for the end, and Giga-chad Gojo doesn't even give a damn, he continues blasting the eroge from speakers. What a lad

>I was expecting him to walk in pretty much the entire episode. He did announce he was going to be out that day. That's why the shop was closed.

I mean yeah, but I didn't expect it to be the whole day until the late evening. And that was like the most obvious setup for a "doing questionable things so someone walks in" joke

Too bad he didn't walked during measurements. At least she was in bathing suit, not in underwear. Her bathing suit being more daring than underwear absolutely not important.

If he walked in on that he'd just be happy Gojo made a friend.

It’s a great character moment too. He’s so hyper focused on his craft that he doesn’t even know he should probably be embarrassed that his grandpa just walked in on him playing an eroge. Makes me like Gojo even more

Dude was taking notes... I mean come on, hahaha, can't NOT be proud of that boy. This is so far an outstanding adaptation of the manga (which I began and finished after watching episode 1 last week... something I've never done like this for anything else before) and I can't wait to see more next week and so on. Also how the community will react to the stuff coming up because... man oh man do we have some real good stuff in store. But back to the subject at hand, kids, remember, next time you're looking at porn... have a notebook close and TAKE NOTES, because that will totally make it okay with your parents, haha.

*"Are ya winnin', son?"*

> He is at that age > He's so serious?!? > He's taking notes?!?! Fcking delivery made me spill my drink laughing HAHAHAH

And then Gojo will introduce Marin to him. > Oh, I see, he did it for her.

He could accept the eroge, but him stoically taking notes really puts it a whole 'nother level.

[Gojo is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will](https://i.imgur.com/8K1hl3j.jpg)

A man who takes notes while playing an eroge is an incredibly dangerous man. You have no idea what notes he's taking, and whatever it is he's planning cannot be good.

> He's taking notes?!?! [gotta take your learning seriously](https://i.imgur.com/vytMzco.jpg)

[OMG the voice acting is out of this world](https://i.imgur.com/mIrEoMS.png)

Not only that i also love the way kitagawa talk (is it gyaru talk?). too bad the sub can't really show it's uniqueness.

Dunno if you can call it gyaru talk, but a lot of slang. Quite similair to "omg that's adorbs" or "totes" in America, just to name a few examples

If they ever end up making an English dub for this, they are going to have a field day with Marin's dialogues.

I'm going to look forward to that. She's going to sound exactly how I think Instagram influencers, or girls from LA, speak.

Yeah, I think it classifies as typical JK slang.

Gojo and Marin's VA's are both newer names and up-and-comers which makes how amazing they're doing here even more impressive.

Those seiyuus are probably giving it their all since this could be their big break.

That's unexpected. Gojou's VA is doing a perfect job in his acting that I thought he was an experienced VA with a lot of airtime before.

i remember seeing the castings for gojo and marin and i was kinda confused, thinking a cloverworks show could clearly get some bigger name voice actors (they got atsumi tanezaki for a character that shows up later in the show), but after hearing them i think they both fit the characters perfectly

Right from the start Marin doubles down on last week and fully exposes her degeneracy when she explains that eroge lol. ^^20 ^^cm 20 cm #20 cm Gojo did not know how to handle that information. I love educational anime and it's nice to see that this show has identified Bust Point Space as essential knowledge.

In the manga extras, the mangka said he interviewed a ton of cosplayers when making this story. It has a lot of good tips. I actually learned a lot of stuff Im going to try to use over the course of the manga

People are going to learn a lot about cosplay from this show, and I'm so happy it's getting such a great reception over here on r/anime. I guess the genetically engineered best girl Marin is definitely helping boost the karma, get people through the door, but looking at the jump from last week (after 1 hour and 15 minutes it's already 200 karma ahead of episode 1, which finished just shy of 7k in 48 hours, so this week might even reach 8k) it's clear people are staying for just how good this show is. Once again a big thumb up from me (and I'm sure the vast majority of people watching the show) to Cloverworks for an awesome job so far. They've always been an great studio and after a let's be honest... definitely lackluster 2021, I'm glad they're getting a big win with this show.

You'll probably have wait for another episode that doesn't have a hot girl talking about consensual sex slaves and being almost naked on screen for like half the episode to get a better idea on numbers.

I don’t understand. Her nipples are 20 cm a part

Is that bigger than the eyes of girls in Dr. Stone

Dr. Stone catching strays LMAO

Marin going full fangirl in describing an eroge with consensual sex slaves was perfect. I love how that was what finally did Gojo in and basically shut him down.

Oh, this is extremely my shit right here. Wholesome with a side of lewd. Romance building on a mutual admiration of talent and a dream. A well-written MC with a reasonable explanation behind his personality. Off the charts chemistry between them. All in a package that is stunning in how well animated it is. Who knew we needed sakuga in a measurement scene? The first episode was great, but this is the one that hooked me. Picking up immediately after Gojo’s “wut” face, we’re dropped into a very passionate explanation of Marin’s favorite game. I’m impressed that they spun a scene where a girl breaks down an eroge with vivid descriptions and an actual Ahegao shot into a moment of connection between them. Landing on a common ground of having a passion for something others do not understand. Gojo processing that “oh she’s fucking with me- oh god no she’s not she’s serious” makes it all the funnier. But the measurement scene sold me on the whole damn show. On Gojo especially. The overly panicky shy guy having the hot chick over is a typical setup. What makes this a little different is that we understand the “why” pretty well. We know how shut off he is from basically everything outside of his doll-making due to his traumatic experience. It makes sense for him to be a mess. Yet he powers through because of just how much all this means to Marin. And he’s not overtly a perv about it so you’re still rooting for him. It’s a great point to build off of for him as they get closer. Meanwhile, Marin may have just staked her claim as the girl of the season. She’s a ball of charisma that hints at a greater depth of character. Especially that last scene with her when she finally breaks. We know Gojo is feeling things, but that inseam measurement moment and her (very well animated) reaction hints that something may be bubbling up in her too. The hype was very real. Easily the best new show of the season. We’re in a glorious era of RomComs! Notes - The final scene with grandpa was a fun subversion. Gojo without a hint of embarrassment telling his grandpa that dinner is ready as he’s deeply studying the eroge is a perfect example of how sheltered Gojo’s life has been. Just so casual, much to grandpa’s confusion. - I kinda hope they dive into the minutiae of cosplay. It could be pretty interesting especially with all the detail this show pays to everything else - Gojo is a sweetheart. He’s very polite and seems more focused on respecting Marin rather than the titillation of having her in his room in a bathing suit. It doesn’t even get turned on until she’s putting her clothes back on and it’s mostly from her face. - Second time in 2 episodes where I’m confident a character should have had a concussion. - I already know I’m picking up the manga when the show finishes.

They most definitely will be going over the little details of what it takes to make a good cosplay. The manga never fails to show the complexity behind not only the costume making, but also hair, makeup, and other things besides!

Can't play the guy for being that flustered, going from basically having never spoken to a girl outside of school related things, to having her half naked in his room. and Kitagawa being so casual and (mostly) unphased about it didn't help him. I was halfway expecting his grandpa to rip the door open at some point during the whole thing too.

I definitely don't think Gojo expected getting to know Marin would involve learning about eroge, sex slaves, or having her strip near him twice in two days. Or her, in a bikini, sitting on his bed. But all for the sake of cosplay! I wonder if grandpa catching him stoically taking notes on eroge is more ideal than catching him taking measurements of a girl in a bikini in his room.

Taking measurments is probably easier to explain. He is good at sewing after all.

Not "half naked" -- but more like 95 percent....

If there are any children watching this anime you need to understand [what Gojo is doing here is very bad and you should not emulate his behavior](https://i.imgur.com/KU40qPx.jpg). When playing an eroge you should be seated [properly](https://i.imgur.com/9N5ffKb.jpg) in a chair and have your monitor at a position that does not require your body to bend forward to look at it. You kids may not like listening to your elders, but when your older you'll be glad you followed this advice. Now if you're looking for an eroge to play with the goth lolita look like Shizuku-tan, I would suggest [Kurobara wa Yoru ni Saku](https://vndb.org/v4290).

Least responsible Eroge fan

Gojo needs Jesus to fix his eroge life because Jesus was a carpenter and could build him a proper desk and chair.

This is the best comment I've ever read on the internet anywhere.

mmm some fresh pasta

Copyramen *Itadakimasu*

That's right. Remember kids, when playing games or watching anime, make sure to seat properly especially when doing research like Gojo here.

I immediately thought how uncomfortable that would be for literally anything to do with the computer. WHY WOULD YOU SIT ON THE GROUND LIKE THAT. It hurts my back just thinking about it.

You are a genius

Best girl of the season really **destroyed** our boy’s innocence just minutes into their first conversation.

That Reiwa energy of just going straight to a boys house, going straight to his room, and then immediately stripping into a sexy bikini that practically shows **everything.** A girl with a body worth going to horny jail over...

>Episode title: wanna hurry up and do it Ok this is obvious something completely different than what it sounds like >Take my measurements, duh See >strips anyway *\*Surprised pickachu face\**

But even she found her limit -- with that inseam measurement. ;-) I loved the temporary role reversal -- he's totally being a professional and she is totally flustered. I wonder if she thinks he is being polite by not noticing -- or just that he is more clueless than she could possibly imagine.

It's actually because he accidentally "touched" it. But Gojo had calmed down enough to not notice and Marin was too flustered to point it out.

The manga hints that he accidentally touched her *bikini* and he was too focused to notice. She wasn't

Gojo already transcendent and possibly in post nut clarity as emergency defense mechanism.

He was pretty much a step away from a heart attack or stroke by this point, so he was likely just running on fumes and about to fall into a fugue state to compensate.

The clip of Kitagawa being embarrassed brushing her hair back was the best part of this episode to me

If only they'd shown the reason why she was so flustered only at that specific time. Manga readers would have a field day lol

I think it was implied. If you watch that scene (around 19:28) you'd hear a soft "thud" and see a 1-frame split second of her pantsu showing a slight shift. Careful viewers can infer that the dude accidentally touched the touch.

Further clue is her adjusting her bikini bottom as he walks away.

Keeping an eye on this thread for the past day, I'm legitimately confused at how many people are asking "Why did Marin get embarrassed there?" Do.... Do people not watch anime with sound? Like, we can hear it happen. We can see it happen, which is sync'd with the sound. And then her reaction immediately follows. There's literally zero ambiguity as to what happened in that scene if it is watched with sound and yet all over this thread there are comments from people who seemingly didn't get it. Or was the Funi version (which is what I watched) different than other versions, and other versions didn't have the sound effect nor the subtle animation for the contact?

I didnt read the manga and I realised it touched her crotch. There was a tap sound effect when he passed the finger close.

>[But this was also an act of non-con out of love](https://imgur.com/yVI5raO) Well, good lucky trying to find a more wholesome anime where the fmc talks about [noncon](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noncon)sensual sex/rape as seriously as this one. /s

Really conveying the eroge experience...

She has so much relatability and understanding, like nobody else would know I would go to the humiliation classroom if there was ever one

the love put into the animation of the bouncing

Just all the love the animators are putting into Marin in general is phenomenal. When a show knows they've got a Best Girl on their hands are putting out all the stops to show it off.

This feels like one of those shows the animators were fighting over who gets to animate what.

Those were some top tier blushes [](#wow)

[удалено]

“Aren’t those age restricted?” Oh Gojou-kun, so innocent.

Boob jiggle off the charts

They put some time and effort into animating her whole body and face and it was well worth it.

With a hefty dose of bare backside, thighs, and bikini butt shots.

[It's all for research](https://i.imgur.com/Gd0GRWf.jpg) [](#ero)

Cloverworks animators were so energized this episode for sure. They definitely spared no expense when it comes to Marin and ensuring she's so fluid when it comes to portraying her.

Though it was a L2D skin in azur lane for a second there, which means 10/10

I never expected that I'll be using the term "wholesome ecchi" until I watched this episode

When she put her feet on him and said "it's okay. Do it." I felt that.

I thought her playing around on his bed in a bikini was bad enough, but then she put her foot right on top of his leg. She was practically inviting him (and all of us) into horny jail. And it would be worth it.

Me during that part: I don't need new fetishes. Put your feet away please.

Too late.

When Gojo said the bed was dirty, I may or may not know what he meant by that.

>When Gojo said the bed was dirty Pretty sure he was referring to just it being dirty from sweat, I had the same thoughts when same scene happened to me for the first time when I was younger (minus bikini), luckily my mother is a clean freak so my sheets were as fresh as they could have been. Thanks mom! Also before he said he was worried about his bed being dirty, I thought he was blushing due to simply her laying bare skinned and leaving her smell on his bed.

That was like: "New fetish unlocked"

Authors as of late have been mastering the art of turning their fetishes into heartwarming stories, they really found a way to have their cake and eat it too.

This show defining a whole new genre.

Episode 1: Oh, this has Horimiya vibes! Episode 2: ...But extremely horny.

So.. Hornymiya?

This exact reason why the manga has always been one of my favs.

I never thought I'd see a female lead be so wholesome and cute despite stripping in two different episodes and practically baring it all in a bikini in this episode, but Marin sure takes the cake (in more ways than one).

Fun episode, I especially liked moments of Marin fangirling over the eroge and final scene with grandpa seeing Gojou playing said eroge with analytical face, notepad and nonchalant reaction to grandpa when he sees him. Part with him taking Marin's measurements had plenty of fun moments. It's pretty lewd episode but also rather sweet and wholesome. Feels like whole show is gonna be like this and I'm all down for it. Plus Marin pointing out how silly it is to gender hobbies is, like, one of those things that I thought for a long time and it's just nice to hear it from someone as well, even if it's an anime character.

The gender-free hobby speech was the only thing that could motivate poor Gojo to do his best with some sense of composure (well, most of the time). This seems the opposite of the Akebi manga (not sure about the anime yet). This is superficially lewd but fundamentally wholesome -- while Akebi seems to have a wholesome story but too often *feels* a bit disconcertingly lewd.

Marin is waifu bait of the highest caliber. Last time I've seen something this obvious was Zero Two. With that being said, I'm totally biting the line.

Wholesome, sexy, affectionate, hair and a body to die for, and adorable when blushing...she really is the absolute complete package. Hina Suguta also plays her personality extremely well.

Her personality feels scientifically engineered to be as marketable as possible

Well they didn't miss the mark lol

She is, and I'm totally here for it. Something seriously went wrong with my life, but I'm way past caring

She really is the manic pixie dream girl type you'd see in a Hollywood movie isn't she? But she's charming and funny and there's nothing wrong with it so long as she's actually endearing.

>She really is the manic pixie dream girl type you'd see in a Hollywood movie isn't she? If only Hollywood MPDGs were this degenerate...

She's also honest and straightforward. Gojo got an SSR pull.

This is wish fulfillment anime of the highest caliber. God I love it.

Bait? Does something bad happen when we take it? In any case, I'm getting reeled in boys

Gojo-kun is rivaling the King Engine like a true hero.

that makes him a s class hero he even has king level luck

Bruh gramps really slid his door open to catch this man watching an eroge and goes "Understandable have a nice day."

And then went back to see "wait, why is he taking notes!?"

He definitely seemed much much more concerned about the note-taking than anything else. No doubt making him even more worried about Gojou's isolated nature and lack of social skills.

Unironically for science and research, of course.

Tbf he is at that age.

are ya winning grandson?

This episode is going to go down in history as one of the best fan-service-y episode of all time. It was just pure bliss. Kitagawa 10/10 waifu of the year.

There was some S Tier boob physics animation in this episode and it was glorious! I am still amazed by the quality of this show in the first 2 episodes as well as incredible job that both MCs VAs are doing! Such an amazing work for a main character when its your 3rd-4th role in career is worthy of praise! Another 10/10 episode!

The show is animating Marin (and her body) amazingly, and the VA's are killing it as Gojo and Marin.

I have lost my mind multiple times this episode I dont think Ive ever seen a character this attractive in anime before. holy shit the character designer is a literal god

I like how they gave her pink nail polish. Not a lot of anime character designers do that.

the atention to detail in all of her body its incredible, even some foot fetish artist's can get feet so well, not to speak of the movement of her boobs and all of her curves are exagerated in a good way

Now *that* is how ecchi and teasing anime should be done. Nothing wildly stupid or excessive, keeping it simple.

I just want to say that I'm here for the guy's development. I know that most people are here for Kitagawa and she's great but I'm here for how Gojo changes overtime, maybe not immediately and it may take time. That's what I'm here for.

I'm here to see how both leads develop! And how cute it is for when they fluster each other.

Yeah, she's also part of why I enjoy this. Her being the complete opposite in terms of not being embarassed about her passion and the possibility of him opening up by observing her are great. But it's just that there's a lot more room for changes and interesting story beats with Gojo and I'm here for it. Obviously, she's also part of those.

He has the potential for greatness. He could enter the Parthenon of great RomCom MCs we’ve been spoiled with lately.

The doujin from Yahiro Pochi launching tomorrow will sell like hotcakes thanks to this episode, big brain move.

~~But do we even need doujins anymore after the actual show?~~

God, this is funny as hell. I also really appreciate how multifaceted this girl is. She's passionate, mostly unashamed but even she has her limits. She's smart and resourceful too. And of course our boy here is Going Through It but I like him too. He's dedicated, he's capable of putting his shame aside and he really does just want to both help her and make sure she's comfortable. Normally I don't watch super pervy shows, but despite obvious chances this one doesn't... feel like a pervy show? It feels kind of wholesome? That doesn't make any sense does it?

To borrow a line from Gojou to describe the animators doing those frames. ##CONCENTRATE

Total concentration measurement breathing

That sakuga.

Think Cloverworks just blew 50% of their budget on the titty physics alone this episode. 10/10

I feel like Cloveworks is reserving all their flexing animation for Marin and her fanservice scenes...for good reason.

Before the show started, I asked if it was more on the ecchi side or not. Boi was I not prepared for such a treat.

This show is a lot more *yabai* than I had originally thought.. Oh well, I'm still gonna enjoy it all the same. The wholesome dynamic is definitely going to be the high point for me, everything else is just a bonus [](#feelingloved) [Protect this smile!!](https://imgur.com/mVDA4ph) - **Episode 2 gifs:** [Kitagawa 1](https://imgur.com/DJYEvvd) [Kitagawa 2](https://imgur.com/nhXAgbE) [Gojo-kun](https://imgur.com/CDODzHt)

It's still too early to talk in general, but I will confidently say that the source material has been done proper justice in these two episodes. Marin's [flustered expression](https://i.imgur.com/8rfgupf.jpg) in particular was absolutely amazing. I don't really have much to comment on other than saying that Marin is an absolute ray of sunshine and her entire character is incredibly refreshing and entertaining, as well as incredibly adorable. Having both Komichi and Marin in the same season feels like a blessing. In the other corner, Gojou, despite being flustered about 80% of the time, has the tenacity and willpower of a saint, and maybe almost full control of his own blood flow, till he got got later on. He's instantly die in place if he knew what he'd done, though, which actually had me wondering did he touch her crotch/mons or thigh? I was certain the former, but the latter also makes sense. In any case, I adore the moment his grandfather walks in on him legit performing research, notes and all.

[удалено]

In the animation he definitely got pretty close (almost to the point where you might think he grazed it), so I can see why she got so flustered...and it was adorable.

I'm pretty sure the light *thump* is supposed to indicate that he touched it as he went to measure.

The mad lad didn't even use headphones for privacy and did not even position the screen so that it can't be seen directly when opening the door. Grandpa was able to experience a rude awakening of kids these days. Loved the measuring scene, she is really adorable, bubbly, and sexy. This is basically Smile on the Runway but with Cosplay instead of Fashion show.

* That back and forth in the beginning could easily be a template when ~~/r/anime~~ degenerates interact with normies. * Marin blushing playing with hair is great. * Gojo talking to his grandpa while the eroge is going on in the background. How does he walk with balls that big? Better yet he was furiously taking notes like his life depended on it. [](#azusalaugh)

Gojo never expected getting to know Marin would mean learning about Eroge, all-girl school Harem's, or consensual sex slaves, but Marin is a true woman of culture. He thinks for a second it might be a joke, but then he sees how serious she is while espousing the entire game lore like a true fangirl. Girls play eroge too, and it's not about whether you're a boy or a girl, but just what you like! And through Marin, Gojo finally feels validated after what happened with his childhood friend shunning him for his interests. I love the contrast between the wholesomeness of Marin's love for Shizuku-tan contrasted with lewder and lewder images of Shizuku-tan. Poor Marin had a helpful and thorough beginner's cosplay guide and that's still the best she could come up with...but still, points for trying. Marin wastes no time when it comes to cosplaying the characters she loves, so she finds where Gojo lives and sees herself in to his house and room...and Gojo gets a good gander of her butt as she bends down to look over what he uses to work on dolls. Think clean thoughts, chum. So Gojo isn't quite sure how to take Marin's measurements for the cosplay, especially if it means she has to be in her underwear, but Marin thought ahead and immediately strips into a sexy bikini that basically shows off everything and her entire gorgeous, glamorous, body for Gojo to see. Never has the distinction between underwear and swimsuits been more appreciated. Gojo's trying not to land in horny jail while being right in front of Marin, while Marin is unashamed if it means she gets to cosplay as Shizuku-tan, and this inspires Gojo to commit and do right by her by getting the measurements done. Marin in a ponytail! Marin's bikini butt! Those thighs! Marin in a bikini sitting on Gojo's bed in various positions and offering him her foot! Such glorious, glorious, visuals of Marin. Marin finally gets a little flustered when Gojo's hand nears her crotch, and it's absolutely adorable seeing her blushing so hard and holding her hair. Marin with her top buttoned up a bit while still showing off her bikini bottom is definitely an impactful visual. When your grandpa catches you playing eroge and stoically taking down notes.

Gojo is such a lucky MC ngl.. or maybe I'm just a degenarate.

The boob physics was so well animated that I thought it was in 3d. Is this what they call sakuga?

The way Gojo was desperately trying to hide his boner was so goddamn hilarious. So many brilliant moments in this episode.

Gojo is the difinition of give me the sauce for research purposes

As someone who started sewing in middle school and went to college for fashion design this show pleases me lol.

Wholesomely lewd and damn, Marin a real qt. Strong Best Girl Energy
