I really like the premise of this manga, and it's definitely super cute most of the time, but there is too much fan service in it for me to fully love it. I love the dedication the mangaka had to making it informative about cosplay and Japanese subcultures, but every time there's fan service it's like a slap in the face. I will continue reading the series because I really like learning about sewing and find Marin's character to be very interesting, but I'm really hoping the fan service will calm down.
