new couple alert let'S go

Side couple often progresses faster than the main one, but here they're already a couple...

And the world thinks they're competing for the top...

...which is true in another way entirely...

I doubt it. Tsukiko's previous partner was dark haired and retired because of "age and lost of interest".

Kyoka is "blond" and seems to be rather young.

Idk why, but those lip bites seemed kinda disturbing to me

Yea, the artist seems to be even more into lip bites than Stjepan Šejić, but definitely not as skilled at making them look playful instead of borderline violent...

Took me a moment, but I finally figured out whom Minku's denial reminded me of - Mitsumine Mashiro. :D

Is it just me or was the art in this chapter really bad and inconsistent compared to previous ones'?

Hey, she got the mom's blessing (as well as promise to take care of her in the future) and it looks like we got some more characters joining the show. Cocoa should be fun--finally be formally introduced. Hopefully we see her (likely) girlfriend also.

That's quite the mom she has there.

The buildup to the mom commenting on Tsukiko maintaining a proper relationship was gold. Every time I expected the mom to pivot, and when she finally did it was hilarious. The mom's a great character, hope we continue to see her in future chapters.

Mom's a fox

my guess is that Kyoka, the ice queen cosplayer, is Tsukiko's previous cosplay partner (and possibly romantic partner??)

After this chapter and the focus on inspiring others, I feel like Kyouka might have been inspired to cosplay by our MC. She could have been a fan that our MC met and that's why she seems familiar to her. That would tie up a bunch of the themes after they meet Cocoa.

Looking forward to the next bit!

So Hiyori-san basically said "You can date my daughter, but keep it PG until she turns 18."

Literally a kitsune spirit in a human body.

So Hiyori-san basically said "You can date my daughter, but keep it PG until she turns 18."

And Tsukiko basically replied "Ever heard of Kimi wa Shoujo, lady? Hyuk hyuk hyuk!"

(Okay, in actual fact she didn't, but she should have!)

We can see what is probably Kyoka on page 25 of chapter 9.

It's pretty "in your face".

I thought that might be her but since she has black hair then and we only saw an angle of the face, I wasn't sure enough to mention it. Either way the mention from chapter 8 is enough of a hint, I think.

Her mom really just rolled with it, huh? But the way she did it... honestly, she feels pretty unique in the annals of anime parents.

Well... she bears an astonishing resemblance to Kousaka-san from Kimi wa Shoujo. Same air, same looks, same style, same makeup even.

I wouldn't be surprised if she has a middle-school blondie as her lover.

And, in that case, she can't very well object to Tsukiko's thing with Hinata, can she?

"A couple of two butches?? Rejected!!!!"

The next chapter will be last? Whyyyy

Imagined having the chance of tap two cosplayers

I knew she was her idol from the past.

I was wondering how long of a run this one would have, considering they normally do shorter series. This is basically as long as their stuff goes for and she already got the mom's blessing and found her love for the cosplay community again. Should be a heartfelt final chapter, the only thing left is for the two of them to be more upfront with their feelings for the other. Should be fun, ending at this major cosplay event with all this "love" around them.

Last page.

That went... about as expected. "As a cosplayer", of course.
