Trigger Warnings for My Dress-Up Darling (Full Series): Sexual Content, Partial Nudity, Body Image Issues, Mild Profanity.​

My Dress-Up Darling is a 15 volume manga series by Shinichi Fukuda. This series centers on Marin Kitagawa and Wakana Gojou, two seemingly complete opposites who find their way to one another through a shared interest: clothing. Over time, the two create majestic pieces of artwork on display through cosplay and maybe create some love along the way.

EEEEEEEE, ahem, strike that from the record. But seriously, I really loved this series! My Dress-Up Darling does it right in almost every way: Gojou and Marin feel like real high school students, the anime series is a faithful (so far) adaptation of the manga, and the story ends with no filler and a perfect bow. As someone who notoriously doesn't like romance or slice of life manga, I actually started this series opposite than how I normally would. My husband was watching the anime while I read something else and I slowly found myself putting the book down and tuning in. After catching up with the anime, I switched over to the manga and just devoured it on the Viz Media app.

My Dress-Up Darling is definitely one of those series that lives up to the hype. It is so worth reading or watching it. I can't say that reading it was any better than watching it because it's been so faithful so far. That being said, a benefit to reading it is that you can complete the series right now!

There's this post online that says they believe Marin's wedding dress is personally made by Gojo, and that made me want to read this. Gojo has always poured his heart into his work, crafting pieces that reflect not just a character, but the person wearing them. A wedding dress made by his hands would be more than fabric and lace; it would be a love letter in stitches, shaped by years of shared laughter, growth, and quiet understanding. It’s not just a dress; it’s the embodiment of their love, worn once, remembered forever. I believe that's really beautiful.

The story and this (last) volume reminds us that the things we love are worth pursuing simply because they make us feel alive, and that the right people will celebrate that joy with us, not question it. I quite enjoyed their story a lot, even if there were times that I was bored. Still a good experience.

I really wish author was not rushed at the end because I so needed more of Gojo and Marin. Overall a really cute series, despite some of the fanservice moments

More of a 3.5 star rating;
I really like that we got to see Marin and Gojo go on a date and still act like their usual selves, and not seem overly nervous about the fact that they’re now dating. I also really liked that this last volume focused some on all of Gojo and Marin’s friends reacting to them now being in a relationship. It was adorable to see the different yet positive reactions from everyone and how much support the duo have.
Although with all of that said, I wish this series had a few more volumes just to flesh out Gojo and Marin’s romantic relationship more, show their wedding, and explore for Marin herself to look into the option of professional cosplay (even if she ended up not doing it, I would’ve liked it better if she personally made that decision).
Overall, this was a surprisingly sweet and very enjoyable manga series to read.

I personally think the finale wasn't rushed at all. To me the Haniel costume already had a finishing feeling to it and the impact it had serves as a great finale cosplay. I would've loved to see more of Marin and Gojo's little family but that is a sign that I didn't want to let go of these characters.
I definitely had my ups and downs with this series since I will never be a fan of excessive fan service but as it got less as the series kept going, I got really invested in what cosplay Marin and Gojo would come up with next. I think it is also important to note that in comparison to other fan service-heavy male intended manga Marin felt like a real person and so did Gojo! In almost all of these manga the male protagonist serves as a self-insert but Gojo really got his own personality and story.
I will miss them but for next few years I'll hope the anime will continue keeping them alive.

The penultimate Volume! Chapter 107!!!
The will they/won't they is over! After almost ending things completely over a misunderstanding, Wakana confesses his love to Marin and she gives it back. Now a couple, they must find their way through the next steps. Marin is being searched for by talent scouts after her overwhelming appearance at the last con, and Wakana is on the cusp of taking his role as officially making Hina Dolls.
Need the next one! Got to find out what happens.
Recommend. So glad the tension is broken.

Review is a stand in for the entire series. I really loved this, although it is extremely ecchi in the beginning most of that is front loaded in the earlier volumes. Marin and Gojo are characters that perfectly complement each other and their partnership is truly heartwarming. While it does kind of play to the introverted guy falling for the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, it’s well released the characters are three dimensional and believable. It’s just a shame that the ending felt a little rushed.

this was really cute despite the copious amounts of fan service (I feel like it did get better tho in the last third lol)

marin and gojou are so cute and sincere!! it's a shame the haniel arc was the last one tho because of the author's health. I feel like the series was really at its climax during that arc and 5 chapters just isn't enough to wrap it all up

This show really grew on me over the 2 seasons, and I was excited to see how it ended. The last arc was really interesting and I wish it went on for a bit longer, but I'm glad it had a satisfying end!

La storia d'amore è un po'... boh. Fatta a caso, un po' male... mi piace, ma non è il classico romance, infatti non l'ho mai letto per la storia d'amore, ma per i vestiti, per il cosplay, perché è divertente, leggero e diverso dal solito.

Yay!!
I didn't want it to end but I am totally satisfied with the story.

[Michael Homem · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really hope Gojo created Kitagawa’s wedding dress 🥺

[Nathaniel Irvin]

Honestly I was kind of disappointed. It really felt like the author just quit and ended the story without really developing their relationship anymore.

[sofi 🤍 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Serie veramente molto carina! Complessivamente darei un 4.5/5!! Molto consigliata.

Quanto sono patati marin e wakana??😭😭😍

[Shatiel · Rating 4 out of 5]

E' stato sicuramente un finale deludente, però nel suo complesso questa serie mi è piaciuta molto e mi rattrista salutare Marin e Gojo.
E' stata una bella avventura!

[Oscar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such a lovely series that i enjoyed reading all throughout, there were definitely some cringe moments and some parts where i was bored out of my mind (coffin group cosplay arc) but apart from that i felt really drawn to both main characters, maybe they should've focused more time on some ofthe side cast like nowa or the photographer (idk her name) and the way that gojou confesses to marin is very sudden but also fitting for his character but marin kissing him immediately was kind of too sudden and didn't feel very real but marin also does overreact sometimes so i guess its not too out of the blue
