Synopsis

High school student Wakana Gojou spends his days perfecting the art of making hina dolls, hoping to eventually reach his grandfather's level of expertise. While his fellow teenagers busy themselves with pop culture, Gojou finds bliss in sewing clothes for his dolls. Nonetheless, he goes to great lengths to keep his unique hobby a secret, as he believes that he would be ridiculed were it revealed.

Enter Marin Kitagawa, an extraordinarily pretty girl whose confidence and poise are in stark contrast to Gojou's meekness. It would defy common sense for the friendless Gojou to mix with the likes of Kitagawa, who is always surrounded by her peers. However, the unimaginable happens when Kitagawa discovers Gojou's prowess with a sewing machine and brightly confesses to him about her own hobby: cosplay. Because her sewing skills are pitiable, she decides to enlist his help.

As Gojou and Kitagawa work together on one cosplay outfit after another, they cannot help but grow close—even though their lives are worlds apart.

MY DRESS-UP DARLING – Review

A shy boy obsessed with crafting traditional dolls meets a loud, confident girl who wants to cosplay anime waifus. It sounds like a setup for chaotic comedy, but this show somehow turns it into one of the most wholesome romances I’ve seen in a while — fan-service included.

Story
Wakana Gojo wants nothing more than to be left alone in peace with his hina dolls. Marin Kitagawa, on the other hand, radiates main character energy and wants to bring her favorite fictional characters to life. Their worlds collide — literally — when she finds out he can sew, and ropes him ...

Mixed Feelings
I have so much good to say about Dress Up Darling, but unfortunately one bad glaring problem that I'm afraid may turn some viewers off of the show entirely.

To start with the good, the characterization of our main girl Marin has got to be one of my personal favorites. She's bright, passionate, funny, and just plain adorable. Gojo is also a great main guy and his personality meshes so well with Marin's. I love how his and Marin's relationship grows over the course of the season and it makes me so excited to see more of them with Season 2 coming out soon. ...

With an fun and engaging story I found my self loving every character, from how sweet the 2 new girl's sister dynamic is, to how socially awkward the main guy is and how his love for his craft comes into jokes or the plot in such a cute way.

My issue with it, the main girl, she is the most cookie-cutter blond stereotype American girl. it's like they took every single popular blond that sits at the cool table from mid 2010's and pushed her into the mess that she is, listening to how she talks and how she acts was ear piercing, she was so ...
