I can already hear the Newtype flash sound effect in that scene. Looking forward to the jaw-dropping cosplay they'll end up bringing to the event.
I'm happy Wakana is getting personal development in this chapter. My man has things he needs to develop (both as a craftsman and as a person) and we're actually getting some of it here. He is on a journey of self-improvement, has just found an answer through realization, and is going to take action upon knowing that answer.
Man, I let this manga pile up before going on a binge and I come in here and see so much seething... Didn't we already know what kind of manga this is? We're 93 chapters deep into this, and some people are still going on tirades and other hot takes about the in-depth perspective on the cosplay process and the slow romance? I suppose that's amazing too in and of itself, since I thought these people would've dropped this long ago and found something else more to their tastes, but they're still here.
