This gets five stars for two reasons:

1. Marin getting upset when she realizes she didn't communicate with Gojo properly as to when the deadline for the outfit's completion was. SO MANY MANGA would try to laugh this off or have the protagonist be so absorbed in the work they wouldn't realize how difficult this was on the MC, but Marin is legitimately DEVASTATED when she realizes her mistake. Not only that, she apologizes multiple times and even tells him he can lean on her if he needs to. HOLY SHIT, I was not ready for that level of maturity and compassion and it damn near killed me.

2. Seeing Marin's unbridled joy not only when she tries her outfit on for the first time, but also when she goes to the cosplay event. It's impossible (at least to me) to not feel that joy, to not smile so hard at how happy she is and grateful she is to Gojo for doing this for her. She is easily the best leading lady this series could ask for and I'm glad Fukuda chose to write her this way.

That's all I want to say, I loved this volume and am already in love with this series. Don't be turned off by the ecchi elements, please give this a shot if you're a romance fan!

Loving Gojo's character development because of Marin's presence.

We end the volume with Gojo calling Marin pretty just as he started to fall asleep on the train ride home.
