The work began publication in January 2018 in Square Enix publisher’s Young Gangan magazine, with a total of 13 compilation volumes currently published. Shinichi Fukuda’s manga is still in publication and publisher Square Enix confirmed a while ago that the work managed to surpass the incredible figure of 11 million copies in circulation.
The anime adaptation of the romantic comedy manga My Dress-Up Darling began airing on Japanese television on January 8, 2022. The series consisted of a total of 12 episodes and the CloverWorks animation studio was in charge of its production. The anime was legally simulcast on the Crunchyroll platform.
The anime My Dress-Up Darling has the following description: The story plunges us into the life of Wakana Gojou, a high school student who has decided to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and begins to perfect his technique of creating hina dolls. While his teenage peers immerse themselves in popular culture, Gojou finds deep happiness in making clothes for his dolls. However, he jealously guards this unique hobby, fearing ridicule if his peers find out about this pastime.
One day, his life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Marin Kitagawa, an extraordinarily beautiful girl whose confidence and personality contrast with Gojou’s shyness. It seems unthinkable that someone like him, with no close friends, could relate to someone like Kitagawa, who is always surrounded by peers.
However, something surprising happens when Kitagawa discovers Gojou’s skill with the sewing machine and, with glee, confesses his own hobby: cosplay. Since Kitagawa’s sewing skills are very pitiful, Kitagawa decides to ask Gojou for help.
As they work together to create cosplay costumes, Gojou and Kitagawa grow closer and closer, despite the differences in their lives and personalities. Through their collaboration, they discover a special friendship that helps them overcome barriers and explore their true passion.
