Man this episode hit the emotional sweetspot. Watching Wakana destroy himself over rushing to finish this cosplay before the 2 week deadline, on top of studying for his midterms was painful, he was clearly being stretched thin with increasingly shrinking time avaiable to finish the Shizuku-tan cosplay and the stress was getting to him, with sleepless night after sleepless night as he continued working on the project. Man, that night before the deadline was emotional, with Wakana the night before the deadline being no where near done and starting to accpet defeat and believe he wont ever become skilled enough to become a kashirashi like his gramps. Im glad he regained his confiedence and drive again after him replaying that flashback about how you can tough it out on the hard when your prusuing something your passionate about because (for him) the smiles of his costumrs when they see his hina dolls reminds him why he cares so much about his passion. And it was sweet learning Kitagawa was sort of his drive that keeps pushing him forward, its clear Kitagwaw has become a special person to Wakana. Also, back on that flashback, man gramps really is a goated character, i love learning about how he always has his brushes on him so he never gets rusty and why he works so hard for his passion. Also damn, the scene between Kitagawa and Wakana was really emotional too, with Kitagawa breaking down after realziing all the hard work Wakana has put to her passion over those 2 weeks, and thanking him for his dedictation. Also, it was sweet seeing Wakana smile for once after feeling releieved that there's still mroe time to work on it (cus Kitagawa kinda failed to bring up that he didnt need to meet the 2 week deadline cause theres multiple conventions). Man, did Kitagwaw look amazing in that cosplay, I'm glad he finished the project. And, I'm glad that Wakana has someone like Kitawaga who would support him as he puruses his dreams of making hina dolls. Also poor gramps, my guy got hospitalized after hitting the stairs and now he's away at a cousins house.
