The popular anime and manga series My Dress-Up Darling is gearing up for an exciting new chapter as it ventures into the realm of live-action. This week, the makers announced a brand-new update for the upcoming venture. Here is all you need to know about the new project. 

The trailer highlights Riko Nagase as Marin Kitagawa, the vibrant and ambitious cosplayer, and Kota Nomura as Wakana Gojo, the shy hina doll artist. Both actors seamlessly bring these beloved characters to life, embodying their personalities and quirks. Nagase, in particular, stands out for her striking portrayal of Marin, wearing several iconic cosplays that are faithfully recreated from the original anime. Meanwhile, Nomura delivers Wakana’s introverted charm perfectly, and fans of the manga will be pleased to see some of his delicate hina doll work on display.


The series’ plot focuses on the developing relationship between Marin and Wakana, as they bond over their shared interests in cosplay and hina dolls. In the anime and manga, Marin’s outgoing nature contrasts with Wakana’s more reserved demeanor, creating a dynamic that has resonated with audiences. As the story progresses, their friendship blossoms into a heartfelt romance, which has recently taken a big step forward in the ongoing manga series.

Produced as part of MBS’s Dramaism block, the live-action adaptation is expected to stay true to the source material, appealing to both newcomers and longtime fans. While the Japanese release date has been confirmed, there is no word yet on whether international streaming services like Netflix or Crunchyroll will pick up the series. Licensing for live-action adaptations tends to be slower compared to anime, though these platforms have shown interest in similar projects in the past.


The success of My Dress-Up Darling highlights the growing trend of live-action adaptations based on anime. Japan has seen several popular anime transitions to live-action formats, such as Blue Period and Tokyo Ghoul, with more titles in the works. The global market is also embracing this trend, with Hollywood eyeing big-name franchises like One Piece and Naruto.

As anticipation builds for My Dress-Up Darling’s live-action debut, fans are eager to see how this charming cosplay romance will fare in its new format.
