Still, the doll-artisan fiinds solace in the home ec room at his high school. To Wakana, people like the beautiful Marin Kitagawa are practically aliens from another world. But when the cheerful Marin spots Wakana sewing one day after school, she barges in with the aim of roping her quiet classmate into her secret hobby: cosplay.
