Shinichi Fukuda created the original manga, which ran from January 2018 to March 2025 for 14 volumes. Crunchyroll currently streams the first season and will stream the upcoming season, as well . Crunchyroll describes the story: Wakana Gojo is a high school boy who wants to become a kashirashi–a master craftsman who makes traditional Japanese Hina dolls. Though he's gung-ho about the craft, he knows nothing about the latest trends, and has a hard time fitting in with his class. The popular kids–especially one girl, Marin Kitagawa–seem like they 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. Source: Official X (formerly Twitter) account
