Square Enix describes the manga as:
Wakana Gojou, a doll-artisan hopeful, lives as an outcast, seeking refuge in his high school’s home ec room after being traumatized by a childhood incident with a friend who objected to his love of traditional dolls. Beautiful Marin Kitagawa, a trendy girl who is always surrounded by a swarm of friends, is practically an alien from another planet to Wakana. When cheerful Marin, who is never shy, notices Wakana sewing one day after school, she storms in with the intent of luring her quiet classmate into her secret hobby: cosplay! Will Wakana’s wounded heart be able to withstand the invasion of this sexy alien?!
