The episode begins with the arrival of Mikari Tachibana at Masamune’s school.
As a transfer student, Mikari’s presence causes quite a stir, with students eagerly seeking her autograph.
Despite her popularity, Mikari shows an interest in the school’s manga club, leading to a surprising revelation that she dislikes manga.
At the manga club, Ririsa informs Masamune about the new transfer student and expresses her desire to have Mikari as a cosplay partner.
During their conversation, Masamune reassures Ririsa that he enjoys taking her cosplay photos, a revelation that touches her deeply.
Ririsa, who initially felt she was imposing on Masamune, asks him to take more photos of her.
Since she didn’t have her cosplay items with her, she decides to pose in her school uniform, attempting to embody a manga character.
The photo session ends awkwardly when Ririsa accidentally falls over Masamune.
