Ahaha Nakano as a Tengu Crow is somehow perfect!! xD He joins the yokai nickname crew~
An Oni, a Bakemono, and a Tengu!
(Tomoya's nickname when he's being silly sould definitely be Baka-mono.)
I am amazed Mami agreed to go to a grocery store while in magical girl cosplay 🤣 i know cosplay was born in Japan, but I'm pretty sure they're judgy about what people wear in public. She would get some serious stares/glares, or might even be asked to leave.
In fact I even did a little bit of looking up online to make sure I wasn't wrong about that. And yeah, Japan definitely only wants you cosplaying at events. They don't like it in public:

"The rules and rituals around cosplaying in Japan are a little more strict than what you’re used to in America and other Western countries. There is more of an emphasis on not standing out or being a nuisance in public."
Also shhh 👀 the easy way to fix the "rare pull" woes of children is to buy the rare they want on Ebay (as long as it isn't first edition, preserved in-sleeve, it'll probably be pretty cheap.) Then, mix it in with a pack you just opened, stick it close to another card, and pretend you didn't get anything good. When you hand the "unwanted" card pack to your younger sibling, suddenly your sibling fans the cards apart and sees that there actually WAS a rare!! But it's no take-backs now 😆 now the younger sibling has the rare cards AND thinks they won over their older sibling.
...look my younger brother loved pokemon cards, okay? 🤣🤣🤣 I had to help him get rares somehow.
But ahhh, Mami knows the manufacturer serial code secret! Good thing its a newer card game, veterans like Pokemon and YuGiOh have long since learned from those printing mistakes 😆 but with a newer card game, Mami really can look like a magical rare-finder!!
Also I think this is the first we see her talking OOC (out of chuuni)! :O
