| 100 chapters! Gratz. And that's a wrap for the cosplay event, once again great job Marin. She even was invited to go pro. Gojou though? |

| I couldn't help but think about monkey when that new girl was introduced since in my language Abe means monkey. |

| Finally that masturbation was over, but I guess we got a nice scene with Gojou. I was wondering she thought about him once, but she never looked for him (understandable considering how tired she probably was), but it was too late. Gojou was already too depressed because people were more concerned with the cosplayer and no praises were given to the person that did all the hard work to create the costume. I wonder if the creator of the manga will be the one praising Gojou when everyone will be expecting him to praise only Marin. |
| It really seems like she ditched Gojo and they went home more or less separately. Pretty bad on Marin's part. |
| Last few chapters are so fucking depressing. |
| It really feels like the author is being a bit too clever in this story arc. The last few chapters, including this one, have been a joy to read, but the so many key aspects of the story and character reactions are conveyed through images alone make me feel there are going to be a lot of reactions and interpretations that the author didn't think of. While it was first shown in the last chapter, this chapter reinforces that Gojou has finally realized exactly what he is doing. He has dedicated his life to pursuing the perfect beauty in his crafting of Hina Dolls and has transferred that passion and desire toward Marin and Cosplay. He went through one of the most grueling trials in his life and has come as close to perfection as he ever had. The problem is that Gojou forgot he was a doll maker, and doll makers don't play with the toys they make. He makes a large crowd of men fall in love with the girl he likes, and he's angry with himself because of it. A key thing for Marin's development is that she has been denied her happy ending and she doesn't know why. Every other time Gojou and Marin have done a cosplay event, they have grown closer as a result. Marin naively believed this event was what would push them over the line into dating, but instead, they have become further apart than at any point in time during their friendship. It will be interesting to see what Marin believes is the cause; countless things could be the issue. Maybe Gojou is jealous, maybe she wasn't able to realize his vision and failed his expectations, or maybe she comes up with something else. What is true and what Marin probably already knows is that she has few traits that would make her a good girlfriend. She doesn't know how to emotionally support Gojou and instead just waits for his manic creative fits to pass. She can't cook well or the other tasks needed to provide a man good shelter. All she has is a pretty face, and she may have realized in this chapter that it won't help her get what she actually wants. I'm excited to see where the story goes. It seems pretty clear that the cosplay is going to catch the attention of the author and elicit some reaction, but beyond that, I can't guess. Both Gojou and Marin still need some maturing to do before they can really support the other, and this story arc seems set up to deliver. |
| Chapter 100 and it looks like a gap/rift is appearing in the relationship..... Between someone seeing Marin's potential to be a pro and now Haniels creator about to see the photoshoot, Gojou is not in a good way as his insecurities will be hitting hard. |

Yeah, nah. Completely lost me with this chapter. The author wants to tell us that Marin sees something is clearly wrong with Gojou and from the end of the shoot, meeting up with the friends, changing clothes, probably hanging out a bit and then the train ride home she didn't try to talk to him once...? The fuck is this terrible pacing and timeskipping this chapter? And the past 100/120 panels were guys falling in love for her in that one singular quick showing.. huh.
Now, Gojou still thinking he isn't good enough for her and that only being amplified x10 with everything that happened (Marin turning into everyone's fav girl) and Marin being indifferent to it apart from one concerned look is a bit different than what I expected. I knew we wouldn't get !insane huge massive! progress finally but this is pretty much nothing.
This chapter is actually a kick in the balls and one huge disappointment in terms of payoff for the past 3 chapters being only "muh princess" filler :/
Edit: Holy shit, Page 21, the placement of the bubble covering Gojou's name right when she finally remembers he was there, physically, too and for the first time in a while really looks at him. Actually well done by the author, gotta give them this one.

| @shutcardboard yes, I noticed how that comic panel covered Gojo's name; well-drawn by the author, indeed. 😁 Marin forgot Gojo, and might even forget him in the future if she goes pro. But what does Marin know about making her own costumes? Nothing. She needs Gojo to go pro! |

| @Phaetons_Folly You noted everything eloquently in your paragraphs! Well said (especially when you clarified to readers like us that this cosplay only made Gōjo and Marin further apart)! 😢😣 Can't wait to see what the author of the Haniel manga do at this point forward. |

Hahaha Marin kinda got that 'omedetou' moment like in evangelion xD
I wonder what's really going on in Wakana's mind? Is it the realization of his feelings or did he overhear and realize that him making costumes for Marin, now under a countdown?
Anyway, it seems that Marin may get some new commissions to cosplay a new manga character.

| @tekkenshu7 those would be a great opportunities for Marin, but she can't cosplay without Gōjo making the costumes for her... |

marquinti2 said: But what does Marin know about making her own costumes? Nothing. She needs Gojo to go pro! No she doesn't. Gojou's not even a professional costume maker. There are plenty of other people who can do that. If she goes pro she can have pros make her costumes. The agency she'll work for won't let some rando make her costume and have their own people do it unless they also invite Gojou with her. marquinti2 said: She can definitely go pro without him lmao.@tekkenshu7 those would be a great opportunities for Marin, but she can't cosplay without Gōjo making the costumes for her.. |

It's not even that it's now monthly, it's that nothing actually happens in 4 out of 5 chapters.
We've just spent 3 chapters getting different shots of "Pwincess!". Before that we got 8 chapters of making the costume with little interaction between the two mains. Before that we had a filler chapter and then before that we had 6 months of some side plot where again, nothing happened but what's worse is you had no idea of who was who because they all looked exactly the same.

| Every new chapter makes this more boring… I don’t know what to think now, I’ll reflect upon this arc when it finishes. |
 |
| Yeah no, sorry this has been a complete waste of time, I told myself after the sleep over chapter that if nothing actually happening on the relationship front by chapter 100 Id drop this I can't think of any reason to read this anymore after the author just stringing me along with lame plot points and boring characters that I can't care about |

| Man, that was so cold by the mangaka. Keeping Gojou away from the group and hiding him in the crowd like he's just some bystander. Then when Marin thinks about hoping to do this forever covering up his name with the speech bubble about looking forward to Marin's response to going pro. I know this is making it seem like Gojou suddenly doesn't matter anymore with the prospect of going pro, but I have faith in Marin. I don't think she would ever go pro if it meant not having Gojou making her cosplays anymore. Gojou on the other hand finally becoming more aware of his feelings and probably realised that, in a sense, Marin is very much like a doll. He poured all his love and effort into making her perfect and now she's being taken away, similarly to a doll being taken by a client once it is finished. However just like with the dolls, when it comes to cosplays Gojou probably also feels like he's not good enough and is holding Marin back. I also wonder if he heard the offer Marin got, which would have made his mental state even worse. Since I've read a couple of times that it's weird for them to not talk at all after the photoshoot. I think it kinda makes sense. Marin seems overwhelmed. She just had quite possibly the best day of her life, with this massive crowd going crazy over her cosplay and even being scouted for going pro and yet Gojou seems completely devastated. She doesn't know why and she's probably scared and doesn't know how to approach the topic. I'm looking forward to where the story goes from here. I just hope it's not gonna be this cliché development where Gojou convinces Marin to go pro without him and then she realises that it's not the same and that she can't perform to her fullest when the cosplay isn't made by him. |

| @Crohmwell yeah I agree with everything you said. I feel that makes the most sense for why they aren't talking, though the way that it was delivered was still a but awkward. I felt like the same kinda scene coulda been made at the convention with him leaving ahead of them instead of them both getting on the same train without a word (though I know irl that kinda stuff sometimes happens). |
| Well, that development would be a very interesting plot point if this was a josei, but it's not, so this is going to be used to drag on the manga for 45+ chapters. If the author had balls and Marin was any smart, she would take the job offer and make her life out of her passion. Gojo keeps doing his thing and that's the perfect most logical ending. But this being a sort of romcom, it will develop a misunderstanding of Gojo's frustration and Marin feeling bad because she herself eclipsed the passion Gojo put into her costume. Well that and obviously some jealousy. So in the next 20+ chapters we will eventually get to the point where Gojo goes emo with the "You should take the offer and go pro. I am just a hina doll amateur after all and you grew up over me" and Marin says some "I cant be at my fullest if my costume isn't made by you". At that point hopefully they start to date at least. I think the main enemy of this sort of plot point is the release schedule. The Haniel manga has been the best thing since the succubus-motel scene, but we have to wait too long for too little development. Also we did not needed 3 chapters and almost 50 pages of panels saying "himeee-samaaaa" all over the place. |

| 100 chapters of nothingness. That really deserves a congratulation. I mean I don't know, six or seven chapters of just people photographing Marin with the same panels and same insufferable monologues is really bad. And now that she has seen dude down for.. reasons unknown to her, we'll get in that phase where we would see these two and their inability to string even a couple of sentences to clear up any sort of misunderstanding. Wow. |
