Storyline
Gojo Niina (Nomura Kota) is a high school boy who is fascinated by Hina dolls and is training to become a “kashirashi” (head maker) who makes the faces of Hina dolls. He is absorbed in making his beloved Hina dolls, but his interests do not match those of the others, and he is unable to fit in with his peers. One day, Kitagawa Marin (Nagase Riko), a popular gal in his class, notices his dexterous talent and asks him to ”make cosplay costumes” as an extension of making costumes for Hina dolls. Niina is confused, but moved by Marin’s enthusiasm, he starts making costumes. Marin loves anime, games, and manga, and enjoys cosplaying with all her might, following her passion for what she loves. Influenced by Marin’s behavior, Niina begins to break out of his shell little by little. The distance between the two people, who are complete opposites in body and mind, gradually closes through making costumes…
