Premise
[edit]
Wakana Gojo's passion for crafting hina dolls causes him to hide his interests due to social trauma. However, when his beautiful and popular classmate Marin Kitagawa discovers his talent, she sees beyond his apparent idiosyncrasies and encourages him to create cosplay costumes. With Marin's support, Wakana steps out of his seclusion and begins to gain confidence. Working together, they create unique and beautiful costumes showcasing their talents and true selves.
Characters
[edit] Wakana Gojo (五条 新菜, Gojō Wakana)Voiced by: Shōya Ishige,[3] Tomoyo Takayanagi[4] (young) (Japanese); Paul Dateh,[5] Jack Britton[5] (young) (English)Portrayed by: Kōta Nomura[6] A first-year high school student. Being an orphan, he was raised by his grandfather, a craftsman of hina dolls, who also inspired him to become a kashira-shi (頭師), a craftsman who makes the heads of hina dolls. Wakana has a large physique and is over 180 cm tall, but he has low self-esteem and is reclusive due to a bitter memory of being criticized by his female childhood friend, who thought that boys should not be playing with dolls, ending their friendship. As a result, he hid his doll-making hobby and had no friends until he met Marin. Thanks to Marin's encouragement and support, Wakana steps out of his comfort zone and embraces his love for crafting. He grows more confident with each project, and through their collaboration, Wakana finds a sense of belonging in the cosplay community that he had never experienced before. Wakana grows closer to Marin, he seems to be completely unaware to her falling in love with him, until he finally confesses to her and the feelings are mutual. At the end of the series, he is a successful doll maker and he has married Marin. Marin Kitagawa (喜多川 海夢, Kitagawa Marin)Voiced by: Hina Suguta[3] (Japanese); AmaLee[5] (English)Portrayed by: Riko Nagase [ja][6] A first-year student in Wakana's high school class. An archetype of a gyaru, notable for her warmth, friendliness, positivity, and outgoing nature. Marin is shown to dislike overly critical people who judge others based on their interests. She is a huge fan of anime, and her entire bedroom is decorated with anime posters and merchandise. After a series of successful cosplays, Marin grows closer to Wakana and eventually realizes she is head-over-heels in love with him. She continually does whatever she can to invite him to different places and spend time with him, as a way to win his heart and make him her boyfriend, although Wakana seems to be completely oblivious to her feelings for him until his confession and they get together. She lives alone as her mother died when she was a child, and her father is often away due to work. At the end of the series she is married to Wakana and works as a model.

She is a second-year student at an all-girls private high school. However, despite being a year older than Wakana and Marin, Sajuna's youthful appearance and petite figure means she is often mistaken for a middle school student. She is outspoken, blunt, and headstrong, going to great lengths to achieve her goals. Sajuna cherishes her younger sister Shinju and does all she can to make her happy. Like Marin, she is a fan of cosplay, and she specializes in cosplaying as magical girl characters as a way to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming one. Shinju Inui (乾 心寿, Inui Shinju)Voiced by: Hina Yōmiya[10] (Japanese); Jad Saxton[11] (English)Portrayed by: Kokoro Toyoshima[8] Sajuna's younger sister. Shinju is a middle school student.

When Sajuna cosplays, Shinju assumes the role of photographer, using a DSLR camera borrowed from their father. She is also skilled at using a computer, processing and uploading the images she takes. While Shinju secretly wishes to cosplay herself, she fears falling short of her sister's high standards. Nevertheless, she starts to cosplay after encouragement from the others. Suzuka Itou (伊藤 涼香, Itō Suzuka)Voiced by: Marie Miyake[7] (Japanese); Celeste Perez[11] (English) Suzuka is a photographer who often attends cosplay events and befriends Marin and Wakana. She gets overly excited by a variety of cosplay. She gets especially excited by cross-playing.

Initially appearing to hate Marin, she is actually a secret super-fan of her cosplays.

Nobara Aoyagi (青柳 のばら, Aoyagi Nobara)Voiced by: Mai Kanno[4] (Japanese); Lila Britton[11] (English) Nobara is Wakana's childhood friend who gave him the trauma about making hina dolls by yelling at him when they were children.
Themes
[edit]
This work describes the development and love of boys and girls, with cosplay as its central theme. Although it also includes some erotic scenes, the work is notable for its detailed portrayal of character psychology and the process of creating cosplay costumes. It showcases the creation of the Hina doll, makeup, and camera work, and the author personally visited the Iwatsuki doll-making workshops in Saitama City, known as the "Doll City," to gain insights into the real lives of doll makers and cosplayers.
Production
[edit]
Shinichi Fukuda set Wakana as an orphan without friends in order to create a situation where he has to solve problems with Marin, instead of his parents or other friends.[14]

Critical reception
[edit]
My Dress-Up Darling was generally well-received. Reviewing the anime's first season, IGN's Kambole Campbell described the show as a "supremely enjoyable portrayal of the joy of sharing a craft." The review praised the performances as "genuine as they are entertaining."[88]Slashfilm's Rafael Motamayor wrote that the series is "not technical enough to turn the audience or the characters off, but enough that you can appreciate the very hard work that goes into cosplaying." He also praised its English translation as "go[ing] the extra mile to portray [Marin's] personality through the subtitles, capturing her gyaru idioms and even random gibberish that she says out loud."[89]Collider's David Lynn praised Gojo and Marin, the series' two main characters, as "simultaneously broadly universal and yet surprisingly complex" with "distinct strengths and flaws".[90] The series did receive criticism by some for its fan service and sexualization of the characters. IGN's Campbell wrote that "There are a handful of leery moments that'll take some viewers out of it."[88] Writing for Bleeding Cool, Alejandra Bodden generally praised the series' exploration of sexuality but criticized some scenes as being uncomfortable.[91]
