その着せ替え人形は恋をする [Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru] #6
My Dress-Up Darling, Vol. 06
Ever since he got roped into helping Marin, Wakana has had his world and perceptions expanded by cosplay. In fact, it's even helped him find peace with himself!
And that seems to be one of cosplay's superpowers, as Wakana and Marin discover at an Ikebukuro event. There, they meet crossplayer Amane and hear their cosplay origin story, which gives Marin the push she needs to decide on her next costume!
Unfortunately for Wakana, getting the new outfit ready is going to be anything but easy...

Mini-review:
(1) The heroine is a glorified sex doll, and the author never bothers to mention her upbringing and tries to explain her behaviors and reasoning. Plus, she forced a lot of suggestive and sexually-charged situations on the male lead, without asking whether he wanted them or not. That is GROSS with a capital G.
(2) The little girl who screamed at the male lead, calling him a 'freak' for liking hina dolls, should be slapped again, again and again into next week for being a judgmenal little bitch.
(3) The poor male lead should have talked to his guardian (the granddad) and a freaking psychiatrist about his childhood trauma, instead of being led on the nose by the heroine.
(4) I am SHOCKED that this time the characters actually talked about meaningful things in this volume.
(5) I am SHOCKED that the first sexual joke, cleavage shots and butt shots only show up as late as page 120.
(6) I acutally like the characters' conversation about cross-dressing, plus the artwork is lovely, I think this story can be more tolerable if the author just stopped using girls' half naked bodies and sex as brain-dead gimmicks all the damn time.
(7) Someone tried to argue with me that it's just part of the heroine's personality to be so unaware of sex. Are you kidding? You mean to tell me a 15-year-old girl addictively playing harem games and cosplaying as a SEX SLAVE can be unaware of what sex is? You mean to say the fictional characters in the harem games she plays merely sit around and drink afternoon tea together!?

Finally, some substance.

Ok, this is one of my new favorite mangas. Not typically the style I read, but it's so adorable and wholesome.
Highlights:
- Wakana and Marin meet a fellow cosplayer at an event, Amane, who reveals to them that she is a crossplayer and is really a guy. His backstory is long, but they are very open and understanding people.
- After photo shoots (some involving other people in public) the three of them end up shopping, where Amane teaches them about fake boobs, premade costumes, and the wide world of makeup.
- ON TO THE NEXT COSPLAY! Marin wants to do a specific bunny girl. As Wakana makes them, they again have another cute issue involving Wakana's overwhelming modesty. (They will need to get over that if they begin to date!)
- Next up is Halloween and Marin is able to convince Wakana to cosplay as well. He picks a bunny suit to go along with her bunny outfit. While they are all hanging out at karaoke, another girl, very loudly asks if Wakana and Marin are going out. (Another cliffhanger!)
Hopefully I won't have to wait long for the next Volume. Seems like the relationship is imminent.
Recommend. (Hopefully I will watch the anime soon...)

While Wakana and Kitagawa are at a cosplay event showing off her latest costume, they surprisingly make friends with a male cosplayer who has a real passion for it and learn how he started it. The duo’s next outfit is an anime bunny girl and it gets pretty risqué for him, and he unexpectedly joins in the cosplay too. A (100%/Outstanding)

Out at a cosplay event, Gojo and Marin meet a fellow practitioner who ends up being more of a drag than expected. Costume troubles loom large, as do convenient excuses, plus Gojo finally grows a pair in exactly the way you’re not thinking.
This series is, indeed, one of the most manga manga to ever manga. It manages to be one of the sweetest things going, while simultaneously being bawdy as hell a split-second later (or, indeed, at the same time).
But that description practically does it a disservice, as this story shows that you can be full of info (and service) and still be entertaining, something more than a few ‘info-dump’ stories can’t seem to manage, and it’s incredibly kind to boot.
The first story is the perfect example, as an adorable idol cosplay turns out to be an adorable idol crossplay and we delve into the realm of disguising your gender and the nature of how such things come about.
Poor Subaru, the crossplayer/character in question, looks like a deer in the headlights after Gojo point blank asks him what the deal is, but that turns out to be a mere gateway for Gojo to geek out over make-up and Marin to gush (Subaru’s visible relief is a nice touch).
We get his backstory as well, which is surprisingly normal and very matter-of-fact, minus one specific incident that at least winds up being a happy ending and a lesson learned in being true to yourself. It’s a great start to a great volume (and features Gojo hilariously getting his chest groped by Marin).
The main cosplay this time is a the time-honoured bunny costume, which is basically an excuse to put Marin in a bunny costume, but also for her to wax poetic about how great and universally popular they are because anime characters always end up in them. There’s definitely some hilarious self-awareness there.
And Gojo’s hubris gets the best of him and he gets some advice (after amusingly correcting that the cosplay isn’t for him) about not making assumptions that will in no way come up again this volume.
The Gojo and Marin content is as strong as usual, with him being freaked out over all the skin and her being freaked out over the possibility of dating Gojo. These two things collide in a costuming disaster that threatens to scar Gojo for life, although Marin comes up with a brilliant plan that she thinks is wonderful but has exactly zero chance of derailing a teenage boy’s hormones.
It’s almost ridiculously tame for this volume to end at a Halloween party, though the initial promise of a Gojo and Marin team cosplay is derailed by, unsurprisingly, Gojo’s awkwardness. In this moment, we realize that Gojo has come a long way with Marin, but maybe not the world at large.
And that’s when somebody throws out the whole ‘you’re a guy who does make-up?’ thing and the story starts to spiral out of control, although it turns out that Gojo might be the author of his own isolation when he comes to a realization about his past.
Ironically, this whole taking a thing to heart comes up again moments later when somebody finally asks the question about Gojo and Marin’s status as a couple and Gojo, admittedly on the spot, commits a cardinal manga sin that accidentally wounds Marin and really leaves things hanging until next time.
I mean, it’ll get worked out - Gojo and Marin are one of the most absolutely perfect couples I’ve seen in manga (even if they just stay friends, they’re that good together that that’s just fine). We get some great callbacks this time to the love hotel and previous costumes to boot.
There’s a lot to love here and this might be one of the best blends of horny and charming and funny I’ve ever read. This is a tale that makes pretty much all of its characters feel valid for liking what they like and that’s worthy of praise on its own.
5 stars - I hope it stays this good for its entire run, but this is a very special series that continues to be far more than just the tawdry and voyeuristic. It also has the pure heart to make it, for me, a true classic.

This volume was more interesting to me than the last one! Love it when they interact with other people…like the man at the fabric store and the other cosplayers at events. Also love the karaoke scene with Marin’s friends at the end!
Obviously I still don’t recommend this series … it is major cringe that it is about high schoolers but it is so perfect when the heartwarming moments overshadow the fanservice moments.

i LOVE that they brought up the side of the cosplay community that involves buying your costumes & accessories pre-made since it gets a lot of weird hate for not being “real” cosplay
i wanna learn more about amane, his character seems so interesting!!

Další volume téhle cute romance, která je místy na můj vkus možná až moc lechtivě laděná… Na druhou stranu to pak hlavního hrdinu, který je dospívající kluk, přivede často do nečekaně vtipných situací.
V tomto volume se Wakana s Marin na jedné cosplay akci seznámí s mužským cosplayerem Amanem, který jim popíše svou cestu k převlekání se za oblíbené ženské postavy. Je to hezký vhled do toho, že cosplay dělají i muži a že jsou v tom zatraceně dobří.
V dalších kapitolách se naši hrdinové věnují novému kostýmu – anime postavě v králiččím kostýmku. A díky tomu se dostaneme i do situace, kdy je Wakana vyděšený kvůli množství odhalené kůže a Marin je vyděšená z možnosti randit s Wakanou.
Láska ve střihu cosplaye si v každém volume pohrává s lechtivostí, odhalenou kůží dospívající dívky a řadou spíše sexy laděných kostýmů, s čímž prostě musíte u čtení počítat. Jenže i to se časem zají a přiznám se, že v tomto volume mi to tak nějak víc brnkalo na nervy. Ani mě tolik nezajímala cesta mužského cosplayera ke crosscosplayi, což je škoda, protože v každém volume se něco nového o cosplayování dozvíte.

- loving the character development and the addition of new side characters
- Marin and Wakana are adorable
- slice-of-life might be my new favorite genre
- I always say this but the art is absolutely GORGEOUS and I’m obsessed
- I hope we get the entire series translated eventually 🤞

Started the manga after finishing the anime. Honestly, this volume was quite good. It's a fun jumping on point.
Marine and Gojo meet a new cosplayer who does crossplays, and later, they adventure out. Liked the development of Gojo. To quote,
" ONCE YOU FORM ASSUMPTIONS, THEY INEVITABLY ACT AS BLINDERES. YOU STOP NOTICING THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED BEFORE. "
Overall it was fun and the bunny girl cosplay was decent too i guess.

A good balance of character growth and more insights into the cosplaying community and hobby. The ending felt a bit abrupt but I am hopeful that it will move that plot thread along as it feels like things have become a big stagnant.

A fantastic volume that really feels like a standout in the series so far. Marin and Gojo take on the challenge of a “bunny girl” costume and it’s almost too much for Gojo’s delicate sensibilities. More importantly, this story becomes a springboard for Gojo to learn more about himself and how he can fit in with others. The final chapter is incredibly heartfelt with strong messaging around acceptance and inclusion that ought to feel clunky but never does.
Good stuff!
Good stuff!

En cada tomo hay una foto de “Komachi” el gato de la escritora que viene acompañada de una simpática frase, que nada tiene que ver con la trama de la historia, más bien, es como si quisiera platicar con sus lectores usando solo dos frases y me parece curioso que utilizara ese método, lo peor de todo es que apenas me di cuenta de eso… XD.
Ahora bien, el tomo 4 no fue la gran cosa. Es la continuación del evento ocurrido en el manga anterior, en el queGojo debe realizar más de un vestuario para el Cosplay en conjunto que Marin desea realizar con Juju, una cosplayer a la que admira mucho.
En este tomo la vibra es diferente en comparación a los tomos anteriores y estoy segura que fue por Juju, una chica antipática que prefiere hacer las cosas sola con su Shinju hermana menor, no acude a eventos públicos y siempre está envidiando a los demás incluyendo a su hermanita.
El tomo 5 en cambio, es mi favorito hasta el momento,me encanto de principio a fin, comenzando por la portada, que es preciosa además meencanto el cosplay que hacen de “Riz” una súcubo encantadora y muy despistada del manga “A un popular escritor de preparatoria lo tortura un súcubo cada noche”. La verdad el nombrecito no me sorprende, he visto series de anime con el nombre igual de largo.
Gojo,sin embargo, explora mucho más su creatividad, además me encanta ladedicación que le pone a los trajes que confecciona para Marin, además ella es cada vez más descarada con el pobre hombre, lo provoca solo para ver como se sonroja mientras se muere de la vergüenza, sin duda la química me encanta y sus interacciones me divierten. Su primer contacto físico accidental me emociono muchísimo,claramente no paso a más, eso es suficiente para mi… por ahora.
En cambio, el tomo 6 es un poco más técnico en cuanto a materiales, maquillaje y adaptación de vestuario, por que explican a detalle todo lo que tienen que hacer para poder personificar con exactitud a sus personajes favoritos, y como adaptar su propia cuerpo y estructura para lograr la personificación perfecta. Sin duda es todo un arte.
Me resulto muy interesante la diversidad de personajes que hacen cosplay y el como se adaptan a sí mismos y todo lo que utilizan para conseguirlo, como las mujeres que se disfrazan de hombres y viceversa. Disfrute muchode la variedad de personalidades con las que se encuentran en el camino, algo que vuelve la historia creíble y fascinante.
Además de que este tomo también estuvo lleno de mensajes y significado en cuanto a las emociones de los personajes y su crecimiento personal. Marin me cae super bien, amo su estilo ysu carisma tan pegostiosos, en cambio,Gojo es muy honesto, pero no mal intencionado, tiene una manera muy objetiva de ver las cosas, además de que siempre busca las palabras correctas y adecuadas para darse a entender…Es tan tierno.
Por alguna razón, leer mangas me relaja muchísimo, y esta historia en particular siempre me saca una sonrisa, realmente no creí que fuera a gustarme tanto, pero la amo y quiero más…

Manuale del perfetto cosplayer:
✔ Kit di emergenza per le riparazioni
✔ Stecche di balena
Io lo prendo un po' in giro, ma la storia mi piace e si legge che è un piacere. Niente da lamentarmi. E son anche quindici volumi, quindi (magari!) non c'è il tempo affinché la trama diventi ripetitiva.
