Square Enix Manga & Books publishes the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Traumatized by a childhood incident with a friend who took exception to his love of traditional dolls, doll-artisan hopeful Wakana Gojō passes his days as a loner, finding solace in the home ec room at his high school. To Wakana, people like beautiful Marin Kitagawa, a trendy girl who’s always surrounded by a throng of friends, is practically an alien from another world. But when cheerful Marin–never one to be shy–spots Wakana sewing away one day after school, she barges in with the aim of roping her quiet classmate into her secret hobby: cosplay.
The manga launched in Square Enix’s Young Gangan magazine in January 2018. Square Enix published the manga’s 14th compiled book volume in November 2024. Square Enix Manga & Books published the manga’s 13th volume in English on April 15. The 14th volume ships in English on October 21. The manga switched to a monthly serialization for its “Tenmei” (Mandate of Heaven) arc in September 2023. The manga’s “Tenmei” arc had launched with the 86th chapter that debuted in January 2023.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in January 2022 for 12 episodes. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired in Japan, and also streamed an English dub. Crunchyroll is also streaming the anime and English dub. The anime will have a sequel that will premiere in July.
The manga also inspired a live-action series adaptation, which premiered in Japan in October 2024.
