“My Dress-Up Darling” is a story that immerses us in 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. “My Dress-Up Darling” immerses us in a world of personal growth, acceptance and the transformative power of love for art. The story teaches us that unexpected connections can change our lives and open us to new horizons of authenticity and happiness.
