Female Gaze: Once she catches feelings for Gojo, Kitagawa frequently starts staring at him, her face red as a tomato, whenever he's looking especially handsome while doing mundane things, talking to his family, or working on their projects. It's nowhere near as sexualized as the Male Gaze she provides but it is much more sensual and intimate, symbolizing both her emotional attachment to him and her very strong crush on him. Extreme Doormat: Downplayed but present. Gojo's classmates dumped the cleaning after class duties on him, and he was too nice to refuse even when he didn't want to do it. Kitagawa calls him out on this, telling him he should be honest when he doesn't want to do something, especially when they're clearly taking advantage of him. Super Drowning Skills: To say she cannot swim at all is a serious understatement. It is shown that when she and Gojo are walking at their school poolside, the former fell into water. She'd be a goner if not for Gojo.
The processing times for presale items are estimated based on the factory's past production experience, we can’t promise it will delay or come out sooner.
Alien Sweater, UFO Sweatshirt, Space Invader, Alien Lover Gift, Aliens Exist Gifts, Unisex Gift, Cute Alien Sweater, Consummate Professional: Gojo takes gathering information about a character for a cosplay hilariously seriously instead of settling for simple references and character notes, opting to play eroge games to get a feel for Shizuku-tan, and preparing to watch 127 episodes of an anime series. Gender-Blender Name: Wakana is more often a female name in Japan, though it fits with his feminine interests and skills despite being male. Lampshaded by Akira, who before meeting him in person assumed by his name that he was a woman.
Spoiled Sweet: She's rather wealthy, but very nice. Still she pays for most of her expenses not from the family dough, but from her own modeling income. D-Cup Distress: Her large bust is a huge problem to her, given that she wants to cosplay a male character. Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Downplayed, as it's portrayed far more realistically. Cheerful extrovert Kitagawa does help loner introvert Gojo break out of his shell, but because they're both unabashed nerds. The reason they bond is not because she's the light to his darkness per se, but because despite being very different on paper, they're actually Birds of a Feather. Endearingly Dorky: When she starts ranting her head off about a game or series she likes, or when Gojo unintentionally pushes one of her buttons in a good way. Modesty Shorts: She wears shorts under her Shizuku-tan cosplay when she goes to the outdoor event; there are posted signs advising cosplayers in skirts to do exactly that.When He Smiles: In Chapter 10/Episode 4, when Kitagawa assures him that he'll one day be a great dollmaker like he hopes to be, he smiles genuinely happy for the first time in front of her. Kitagawa can't help but comment on it, much to his surprise.
Nice Guy: Always kind and polite to everyone, sometimes even to a fault. Kitagawa even criticizes him in episode 1 for always taking people at their word and not realizing his classmates just use him to do campus chores in their place. Genki Girl: Very upbeat, sunny, energetic, friendly and cheerful. Sometimes this can overwhelm more withdrawn characters like Gojo and Sajuna. Samus Is a Girl: Gojo had assumed by her photos and name that she was a guy. It didn't help that she was using male pronouns when she communicated with him online. Valley Girl: Due to her Gyaru Girl image, Kitagawa's dialogue is translated in this manner in the English dub and sub, peppering her dialogue with "likes" and other vernacular. Can vary in other languages depending on how well the archetype translates to this, with some of them having her using no special jargon whatsoever.Ascended Fangirl: Although she's a successful model, Marin admires the most popular cosplayers and is elated when "Juju-sama" takes notice of her... though Sajuna is more interested in Gojo's clothes than Kitagawa herself. Despite this, Marin's excitement only grows when Sajuna agrees to share a studio with her for a day in exchange for splitting the cost. Character Development: He overcomes many of his social awkwardness and personal insecurities directly from his relationship with Kitagawa.
Brutal Honesty: While critiquing Kitagawa's attempts at making a cosplay costume, Gojo acts uncharacteristically blunt and critical due to his own expertise, wondering how she made something so awful even with a kit that comes with detailed instructions. It takes him a few seconds to realize what he said before apologizing profusely for his scathing remarks. On the other hand, he doesn't dole out praise lightly, and if he compliments something (or someone), he really means it. Supporting Protagonist: Marin is both the title character and main character with Gojo as her Love Interest. While Gojo's growth as a person and her role in his development are major aspects of the series, Marin's perspective and internal thoughts increasingly become the focal point of the story as she reconciles with her own development as a person even beyond her relationship with Gojo. In fact, she's the one who catches feelings first, and we see her internal thoughts much more frequently as a result. It's her wants, her needs, her dreams, her desires, and her experiences that drive the story forward, with Gojo alongside her as her Love Interest and de facto Best Friend. She is Gojo's guide in moving forward as a person and artist, and it is Kitagawa's sheer force of personality that inspires Gojo to do what he does for her, because for her to succeed in her courtship of him, he has to overcome his insecurities with her help.Formal Characters Use Keigo: He always uses very formal speech patterns, which emphasizes his polite, humble personality as well as how he lives an old-fashioned lifestyle with his grandfather. Flat "What": When Kitagawa looks dissapointed that him and Gojo have found a workaround for her bunny costume that requires no shoulderstraps but still preventing a Wardrobe Malfunction. Old Master: Has nearly fifty years of experience within his craft. Once he gets a good look at the clothes Gojo has begun making for Kitagawa, he's able to give constructive criticism on what Gojo's done well and what needs to improve, despite not being a tailor by trade. note Hina Doll making does including sewing the clothes for them, but as Kaoru points out, tailoring costumes for people is a very different beast than their craft.
