My Dress-Up Darling (2022)

In the heart of a bustling high school, we find Wakana Gojou, a shy, doll-artisan in the making, nursing his passion for traditionally exquisite Hina dolls. Haunted by a childhood incident where his love for these dolls was scorned, Wakana finds solace in the tranquility of the home economics room. This solitary refuge becomes his fortress, a world far removed from the lively social circles of his classmates, especially the radiant Marin Kitagawa, a trendy, ever-popular girl who seems as alien to him as his dolls would to her. Marin, however, is no ordinary girl. Underneath her fashionable exterior lies a secret hobby: a fervent love for cosplay. One fateful day, she stumbles upon Wakana, diligently immersed in his sewing. Intrigued, Marin bypasses her usual reticence and decides to rope the quiet doll-enthusiast into her vibrant world of make-believe. As Wakana and Marin navigate the intricate worlds of doll-making and cosplay together, they find their contrasting lives intertwining in unexpected ways. Will Wakana, with his tenderly nurtured skills, breathe life into Marin's cosplay dreams? And can Marin, with her infectious enthusiasm, mend the wounds of Wakana's past and help him find a place in a world that once seemed so alien? My Dress-Up Darling is an enchanting tale of two worlds colliding, of shared passions and mended hearts. It is a story brimming with the power of friendship and the magic of shared dreams.
