I think this was around the point we completely dropped the romance angle and went full SOL, because seriously this dude Gojou didn’t even show up until like the ten-minute mark lol. Honestly, it is just pure SOL now because we went with the most SOL thing ever, a weight loss journey. Loved the zoom-in they did to really show that little belly bulge lol. And yes, by Japan’s standards, “fat” probably means she gained at most 2 kg, and it’s treated like the end of the world lol.

Well, it’s kind of a big deal here because she can’t eve, get this, cosplay until she loses the weight :o!!! Anyways, forget all that, new camera means photoshoot time. And wow, they really outdid themselves visually. The whole scene had such creative and ambitious shots, loved every second of it. And heey, was nice to see that even gramps got a bit of the camera action there at the end too.

Shocked after people around her point out that she’s gained weight, Marin tries on her past cosplay outfits, only to find that most of them are too tight to wear. Feeling down, she decides to go on a diet so she can cosplay again. Just then, some news arrives for Marin. After seeing it, she feels a little better and invites Gojo out shopping.

See every girl needs that one gay guy best friend to let them know when they’re letting themselves go and gaining weight 🤣 idk HOW her hair dresser of all people saw the weight gain thru the face, but he was right, Marin been eating good since she started hanging around Gojo lol.

I think it’s sweet because it shows you how comfortable Marin is with Gojo. It’s just like irl when girls get a bf or husband they tend to relax and put on some weight that just means the relationship is healthy and he’s good for you lol. Laughed so hard when we found out Marin been eating the take home breakfasts the same night. So she struggles with portion control, relatable lol. Cute girls always eat the most.

Holy shit I didn’t expect to see my OG camera in an anime so explicitly! That’s not a DSLR, that’s a canon m50 mirrorless camera which was my first serious camera back in 2018. Swapped it for the Fuji X-T4 and then my current X-H2, but I put some miles on that thing. Great entry level camera and perfect for amateur photoshoots! The fact Marin only got it because it starts with M is hilarious

The animation of that photoshoot in the park was insane as well wtf!

Great episode

The previous episodes i was already wondering how Marin was controlling her figure with her eating habits but it seems she wasn't.
Well i guess she learned a lesson.
Now the question is will she lose weight.
Anyway the new camera looks nice and Canon seems to be sponsoring this episode (Not that there is something wrong with that).
I wonder how the camera will affect their cosplay.

Marin, dearheart, I get modeling work pressures, but do not let weight variability get to you personality. You are very beautiful, absolutely adorable, and drop dead sexy, plus or minus some mass. Indeed, be more careful about the minus side, that can hurt you and detract from physical appearance far more than the plus side. And in any case, it is you wonderful, positive, bubbly, and and oh so fun personality that shows more you beauty than anything else.

Nice camera, I remember when my chief wife was into cameras, and had a DSLR. But, she was more about acquiring things than making good use of them.

Are there really people out there who just naturally have a great figure without a proper diet like Marin? And they don't gain much weight even though they eat unhealthy stuff?

Anyway, another great and wholesome episode. At first I thought that Marin bought a camera that can't take pictures by itself and needed something else for it to work, but it turned out fine lol.

I’m so glad Marin-chan got her camera and it’s funny to see that Gojou-kun seems to like it even more than her. Man, I’d love to buy a Canon DLSR camera at some point too. Sadly, it’s second on my list after a Duffle Coat (inspired from Kiriyama Rei, SanGatsu no Lion) so it might take a while, lol.

Enough about me, the gaining weight taking time to hit Marin-chan was hilarious to watch. And jeez, 50,000 calories for a late night snack is something else!

God I love this anime so much.

All of that weight thing is now going to be on my mind everytime she eats something now, welp. I'm really glad that Marin got the camera she wanted back from season 1. Damn did those pictures look amazing. I was smiling so much when Gojo was taking the pictures, I just love seeing Marin and Gojo happy. I just love these two so much.

Oh Marin... When the cosplay costumes don't fit anymore. That's a catastrophe!

Unfortunately, no screenshots this time. But anyway: Canon approves this episode. That camera over here is the M50, a 2018 camera from them. Over there in Japan, it's called Kiss M, not necessarily M for Marin, but nice point. Odd she didn't buy the white one (which is cuter, kinda proper for her), but kudos for getting her first pro camera. https://global.canon/en/c-museum/product/dslr874.html

Also, Marin gyaru is 🤌🏻

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

It really puts a big smile on our faces seeing Marin every week, right !? 💖💖
She was bragging so adorably about Gojo andthe doll that he gave her infront of everybody..❤️❤️✨
Marin really went all out with the food that Gojo's making for her everyday 😄😄❤️
All those breathtaking pictures of her through the new camera 🫰🫰💯
Out of all, she thought about taking the photo of Gojo's grandpa 🥹❤️❤️

💕Marin The Goat!💕


Guys! Marin...

A moment of silence, I can’t even express my feelings!

What is this anime! What is this beauty! Honestly, I’ll declare it—best anime of this season! No *Kao Hana*, no *Bunny Senpai*, nothing else comes close!

Marin is ruining the season for everyone! She just shows up during the week and sweeps everything away… wait… tomorrow Nagi-san will sweep her away hehehe. 😂 Jokes aside!

10/10 for this episode isn’t enough! Marin, what is this? Last week’s episode I praised like crazy, and now she forces me to praise two episodes in a row this much! A masterpiece! Pure joy that lasts for a whole week, maybe even longer!

Oh my god wow! Wooooooooow!

Anyway, this episode brought back the fan service that was missing for a long time! The last time we saw Marin’s body like this was episode 2 of season 1, and also episode 11—those two had the most over-the-top fan service. Now, once again, we saw Marin’s chest up close, and I think this episode marks a new fan service highlight after a long break! I’m telling you, that bra scene on the floor will blow up on social media—mark my words!

As for the second half of the episode—the direction was god-tier! Wooooow! Applause to CloverWorks! The idea of following Gojo-kun around while Marin does cute stuff was genius! I loved the episode, seriously! This anime is the most fun I’ve ever had with a romance. From the very first episode it’s been explosive! Episode 2 with that kiss, last week’s amazing episode—words aren’t enough to describe my happiness.

See you all next week!

⚠️ Warning! ⚠️: I think I took over forty screenshots, all in excellent quality! Enjoy Marin! But be warned—if you’re not interested, don’t open the spoiler! Others are! Please! Thanks.

No anime fmc plot armor for Marin. She gained weight. I mean after eating so much and eating the breakfast Gojo made for her every night, ofc. Their expressions were hilarious.

Marin finally got that dslr. The whole segment with taking photos was phenomenal, superb directing. I get the feeling of taking so many photos when you first get your hands on a dslr. Maybe I'll take out mine out of the drawer where it's catching dust to take some photos one of these days.

Wait, Marin gained weight? Bruh. Wouldn't say she's fat now cause she doesn't look different. So that shot zooming in on her belly and her not being able to cosplay her old characters were made to really drive the point home lol. I'd say it's not a big deal but she really needs to be skinny for her modeling job. With how much food she was chowing down it was only a matter of time. I wonder if Gojo feels guilty.

Marin finally bought a DSLR! That's awesome. But the way she chose to buy one is a surefire way to get scammed. She's lucky she picked a good one thanks to her friend's recommendation... I can never purchase tech products based solely on "vibes." If I don't research by watching a billion different videos first, I'm not buying. But at least she was able to take so many gorgeous photos. I'm not into photography but if I was I'd probably never stop taking photos of random crap. Anyway, I guess what I wanna say is that this episode looked insanely good. It continues to impress me with how much care is given even to the most random shots in a SOL series like this.

Insanely boring first part , they really should've skipped the "Marin is gaining weight" part , literally nobody liked this "arc" (if we can call that an arc) in the Manga.

Whatever, next episode should be better, there's one final arc before the season end that should be really good with just Gojo and Marin so at least I have this to look forward to.

I pray they make a season 3 to have the final arc animated, most of the stuffs left is pretty boring outside of it and the little arc coming soon that I mentioned.

Unironically, that was case for me before I ended up on wheelchair. Ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted and never broke 55kg (despite trying to gain weight, which was peak irony). Though I usualy was ending walking ~2km/day and cycling 4-5km on weekends so that might've help.

Ok an anime character gaining weight. I literally can't see the difference though. Is her face rounder? Marin is still insanely cute maybe even cuter!

Also damn 50000 calories. Not Yanami Anna level but still that's a lot of calories.


All those new camera shoots were beautiful.

this ep felt quite uneventful, weight gain and new camera. though it was amusing seeing marin showing her buddies a pic of the plushie gojo got her.
i mean last ep we got gojou somewhat realizing hes in love and this ep had 0 progression from either side.

As serious, passionate and dedicated as he is, Gojo always ends up acting like a grandson with Gramps. He listens to his advice, takes care of him and cherishes the lessons and all of the things he’s done and does for him. Right there, around the kotatsu, Gojo is enjoying supper with the two most important people in his life: Grandpa and Marin. In Marin’s case, she is sitting with the love of her life, and a person that she loves as if he were her own grandfather. She values Gramps as well, listens to his advice and always looks after Gojo not only out of her romantic feelings towards him, but as part of Gramp’s mission for her: “look after him and make sure that he doesn’t treat himself harshly”.

Actual decent episode after the cringe fest of last time.
Dk why but I loved this Noa angle. Looks so adorable❤️

Those underwear hide Marin's fat and assets. Her eating habits are really ridiculous, that Gojo reaction was epic.

Another great character will be introduced next week. There is no "him" in Akira though..

The continuous camera shots was just pure cinema. Marin looked amazing and also added blurry one for realism fk. Idk what Cloverworks are feeding them each week. This adaptation is too too good. Marin taking time to take picture of grandpa is very wholesome. Cute family..

That seems like a decimal point error to me. 2,000 would be the recommended and 5000 the weight gain.

Are we watching the same thing?

sure Gojo entered late this ep, but she spent 5 minutes bragging about whats preety much implied to be her "boyfriend" literally everyone is aware they're dating including her, all except Gojo lmao, sure its not official by any means but they're in a relationship already
plus they had a whole date with Kitagawa at the park that took a fifth of the episode

The whole sequence of Gojo taking pictures was incredible. Just a continuous shot from his POV while Marin shows off the show's animation.

It will because seeing the pacing so far (5 episodes left and around 3-4-5 chapters adapted by episode on average) I can bet that the season will end with a tease of the final (and best) cosplay of the series which is part of a long arc that is better than this whole season so far , the problem is that we will have to wait 3 years or more (or maybe it will never be made actually lol) to see it animated.

Glad Suzuka answered Marin's call, otherwise, Marin wouldn’t have known what to do. She told Marin about the camera she uses, the Kiss M mirrorless (apparently the “M” is for Marin, haha), and Marin ended up buying it. Congratulations, Marin!

That said, I do wonder why she bought the camera for herself when she’s the cosplayer, and her photos are usually taken by either her cameraman, Wakana, or her fans. Wouldn’t it have made more sense as a gift for Wakana, since he’s been her dedicated cameraman and supporter from the start?

Quite confused, but it is what it is, I guess. Hopefully they take tons of pictures at upcoming events while also selling their merch. I know they’re doing it as a hobby, but why not be smart about it and make some bread out of your hobby too, especially if you’re that good at it, you know?

Marin is such a glutton 🤭 she gives Itsuki from Quintesssential Quintuplets or that one blue haired girl from Too Many Losing Heroines or Izumi Reina from Myriad Colors Phantom World good competition 🤣

Marin so cute and pretty this episode.
