My Dress-Up Darling  was one of the most popular and memorable anime series of last year’s entire season, a shojo-style seinen animated series that focuses on shy dollmaker Wakana Gojo and his animated counterpart, the enthusiastic of Marin Kitagawa cosplay. Together they will make the best cosplays one stitch and one wig at a time.

Without a doubt, there’s a lot to love about this anime, from its surprisingly good “fanservice” to its educational value when it comes to cosplay and tailoring. But the best part of My Dress-Up Darling is Marin Kitagawa herself, whose outgoing and carefree personality makes her easy to love.
