What happens when a cosplay girl falls for someone who has never watched anime?
The Storyline: Girl #4 is a veteran cosplayer. She meets a non-fan (a "normie" in con slang) at her day job. He is kind, stable, and entirely confused by her weekend hobby.

The Romance Rating: 4/5 (High intensity, low longevity) Quote: "I had three Con Crushes last year. One lived in Tokyo, one turned out to be married, and the third smelled like stale Red Bull when the wig came off. But for that Saturday night? It was magic."
