The TV anime adaptation of Shinichi Fukuda’s My Dress-Up Darling cosplay-themed manga revealed the first trailer, main cast and staff. The series will debut in January 2022.
The story centers on Wakana Gojo, a first-year high school boy with a passion to become “Kashirashi,” a craftsman of the heads for traditional hina dolls. He is serious and devoted to making dolls, but he has a hard time fitting in with his classmates.
For Wakana, Marin Kitagawa, the popular girl who is always at the center of the class circle, is like a resident of another world. But an unexpected turn of events leads him to share a secret with her. Marin, who has always wanted to cosplay but has never been able to make a costume, asks Wakana to make one for her!
The series is directed by A3! Season Spring & Summer director Keisuke Shinohara and animated by CloverWorks. Osamake: Romcom Where The Childhood Friend Won’t Lose’s Yoriko Tomita is in charge of the series composition.
