Lastly, here’s an overview of the series via Crunchyroll:
Wakana Gojo is a high school boy who aspires to become a kashirashi — a master craftsman who creates traditional Japanese Hina dolls. Although he’s enthusiastic about the craft, he’s unaware of the latest trends and struggles to fit in with his class. The popular kids — especially one girl, Marin Kitagawa — seem to live in a completely different world.
That all changes one day when she shares an unexpected secret with him, and their completely different worlds collide.
