Episode Title:
Your Way, My Way
Episode Description:
Nonoa is furious when Aria simply changes into a sports bra and insists she is cosplaying as Pearl-chan from Princess Chanel. Lilysa is likewise upset Aria simply picked a popular character but never bothered to learn about her. Thus, she insists Aria start watching as much anime to find a character she loves. Aria's education starts in their club room where it soon becomes apparent anime bores her, making it doubtful she could ever love a character enough to cosplay as them. Through effort and dedication, Aria is engrossed in the Liliel anime, which she claims reminds her of a manga from her childhood. Aria watches more anime and begins to develop her otaku persona until eventually she decides to cosplay as Ariel, another angel from the Liliel anime. Nonoa later spots pictures of Aria online cosplaying as Melia from Valkyries Battlefield, a manga that was panned as an Ash's War Chronicles rip-off and was cancelled after only ten chapters. At first, Aria is reluctant to explain why she chose Melia. However, after Nonoa's urging, Aria admits it was her father who created Valkyries Battlefield.
