Story :
My Dress-Up Darling tells the story of two high school students who become friends in an unexpected way. Wakana Gojo is a quiet boy who loves making dolls but keeps it secret. Marin Kitagawa is a lively, pretty girl who loves dressing up as characters from movies and games. One day, Marin finds out Gojo can sew really well. She asks him to make costumes for her. As they work together, they learn a lot from each other.
Gojo becomes braver about showing his true self, while Marin learns how much work goes into making costumes. The story shows how it’s okay to like different things, even if others might think they’re strange. It’s funny, sweet, and shows how friendship can grow between very different people. As Gojo and Marin spend more time together, they might even start to like each other as more than just friends.
