Gojo became determined to become a Hina doll craftsman at a very young age. He used to have one friend, but it appears that his colleague never understood her. 

His friend criticized him for admiring dolls as a boy and it broke his heart. From that moment on, the protagonist found it hard to make friends, and suddenly, he was a lonesome high school student.

Gojo was like an invisible person in his entire school, where he had no one to talk to or spend his time with. Due to his lonely personality, his classmates often use him to accomplish school chores. 

That did not happen until he met Marin Kitagawa. Ont he other hand, she was a beautiful, loud, noisy girl who was adored by all. No matter where she went, all of the eyes were on her. 

She is one of the popular characters who is adored by the female demographics as well. Her love for the anime character Shizuka-tan and passion for cosplaying made her closer to Wakana. 

Surprisingly Gojo also came into the limelight. Now, the two of them are collaborating to follow their passion and determination for cosplaying and dolls.

As for Wakana, he has no idea about Shizuka and researches the character. Later, he finds out that it is an erotic character and his challenge is to take the perfect measurement of Marin rather than sewing the clothes.

Despite being a sophomore, her appearance mistook her for a high or elementary school student. She is an outgoing personality and does not step back to get what she wants by hook or crook. 

However, she has a heart of gold and can ask for forgiveness if she feels like it. She appears regular from episode six.

Shinju Inui

The younger sister of Sajuna, Shinju, is the shy one. Just like her sister, she is also into cosplaying. But is afraid to do so because of her sister’s high standards. 

Unlike Sajuna, she has a voluptuous figure, and many mistake her for being an adult. But when it comes to her cosplaying choice, she prefers to be guys.

Well, My Dress Up Darling is not everyone’s cup of tea. If you are a man then it is obvious that you are thoroughly going to enjoy the show because it is solely produced to entertain a certain gender.

However, if you are a girl then some scenes might offend you and eventually ruin your experience. In addition, if you are a cosplayer then this anime must be number one on your list.

Also, we feel that the story development of this anime is pretty slow which might bother some of the viewers.
