Plot

Wakana Gojo is a first year high school student who dreams of becoming a hina doll craftsman. One day during his first semester, his popular classmate Marin Kitagawa saw him making doll costumes in the school's clothing room. Marin, who had wanted to cosplay for a while and having observed Wakana's skill in sewing, asked him to create a costume of a character from a video game that she adores. However, Wakana had never made costumes on a human scale, and being driven by the strong emotions of Marin, he accepts her request.
