Synopsis
Wakana Gojo makes hina dolls — a traditional Japanese craft he loves and has hidden from everyone because the last time he shared it a childhood friend's rejection convinced him his passion was shameful. Marin Kitagawa is loud, popular, beautiful, completely unabashed, and deeply into anime and manga in ways she doesn't bother hiding. She discovers Gojo's sewing skills and asks him to make her a costume from a specific ecchi game. Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (Shinichi Fukuda) is ongoing in Monthly Young Gangan — a romance that works because both leads genuinely appreciate each other's passions rather than merely tolerating them, and because the cosplay craft elements are researched and rendered with evident love. **Ongoing monthly. The anime (CloverWorks, 2022) is available on Crunchyroll. Available through Square Enix Manga.**
