Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru - Vol. 12 Ch. 95

[Nyaaa]

Ah yes... The classic "it's done. Imma sleep." Text.

It's cute.

 

[imitation]

I thing people kinda forgot what manga is this. For me, the cosplay part is definitely the highlight, while romance is the second fiddle.

The problem is it's been more like 7th fiddle behind interactions with a bunch of other characters no one remembers or cares about for the most part. There's been basically nothing resembling romance since Marin decided she was gonna confess almost 20 chapters ago, over a year in real time. I'm completely fine with cosplay taking the lead and I like the current arc but the balance is way out of whack compared to everything up to that point.

 

[Donutlie]

Oh? After more than a year... will we finally some romance again ?

 

[jackjack9]

Feeling worried foe Gojo. Wish he would take care if himself.

 

[ShadowSilence]

I agree that we didn't get to see the process this time, but the sluggish pace of progression here, the hyperfixation on his work, and the disconnection between gojou and Marin are all representative of how much Gojou cares about his work, and his state of mind while trying to perfect to his craft. It's inspiring in a lonely sort of way.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me here, but I actually like this arc. That's his own struggle that doesn't have anything to do with other people, and I find that pretty motivating

Reminds me somewhat of Blue Period in depicting how the artist struggles for their own ideal perfection and not letting anything distract them in unhealthy obsession.

When you get possessed by the spirit of art like that, you let it take you in that moment.

 

[Augorhen]

Fuck, finally. Jesus this story has gotten so boring. Hopefully we get a little excitement with the costume being done. Before we enter a 20 chapter arc trying to find a specific makeup color......

 

[Mr.Oblivion]

You are right. About the disagreeing part

Jokes aside, I do get what you are saying (an arc about mc's struggles with his craft, without romcom shenanigans - something I would have loved to see... in another manga ), but I also feel like what this manga excelled in was the romcom with a reasonable fmc who were advancing their relationship rapidly and didn't take "boohoo i'm an otaku trash who hurts you by my mere presence" for an answer. A far-too-rare strength that is sad to see put aside.
Then it never delivered, over several arcs. And this arc is effectively acting to pause any romcom progress entirely, and reset things so author can milk it further in the future (for some reason jp authors seems to think that romcoms die when couples get together).

In addition to that, I find this arc far too detail-oriented, going more edutaintional than entertainment (feels like author went all-in on research, and enjoyed it too much and needed some arcs solely to get to talk about the fun stuff he learned). And yet insists on further milking any and all "issues" wakana has, by not having him ever asking anyone (relevant) for help.
Some textile he knows he has seen but can't find in cosplay stores? He should obviously ask his dad, or specialized stores he has prolly been in before (could even have them unable to answer his query, just unrealistic that he didn't even think to ask them and only asked others instead).
Unable to get a certain strong white he desires? Again, ask specialized stores (instead of cosplay ones), textile or even down to the companies actually dyeing. And even then, his dad prolly knows who to contact when you need specific colors/patterns for your textiles.

Overall, too much details while at the same time too little (not enough to describe the entire thing), as well as describing long periods of looking for something without him ever realizing to go for low-hanging fruits as he's stuck - which makes it feel like something is inflated for 'drama'/tension, rather than being a realistic issue.

he cant ask his dad. his dad is dead so is his mother.

 

[Mr.Oblivion]

a lot of people dont seem to realize that these past 7-8 chapters have been about Gojo growing as a person not just about making cosplay.

 

[Satsuki-Nada]

Yaaay

 

[amaniza2010]

Ahhh Artist Pain

 

[maxyall]

Gojo gonna be like, I'm married to my work but I won't date my product.

 

[TwisterJR]

1. I wouldn't mind if someone actually made spin offs of the series and videogames Marin cosplay, some sound good, like this one. I would love to read something like that
2. Oh yeah, Gojo, you definetely went insane, mf ik it's important but you really overdid it.
3. Glad it's done, let's see how it looks.

Whispers of a demon, and a sexy demon at that

 

[Kurro]

Ugh and I used to like this manga. Too much cosplay making chapters for my taste.

Also Gojou is an obsessive freakazoid. 😆 I wonder when he will cut of his own ear. 🤣

 

[Rafalga]

Jesus christ, finally. I still can't understand why this is monthly though. Aside from the terrible pacing issues, the art doesn't really warrant it since Dandadan has like %10000 more details per panel and that shit is weekly. Does Mangaka has other projects going on at the same time as well?

 

[DanJADO]

Wakana-chan XD

Well, he does know how to properly crossdress, so it could happen.

 

[jctsoi]

Damn it! I wanted to see the final product!

 

[Vergift]

I'm agree with you. It significantly show how much Gojou had grown.
