The Winter 2022 anime season's most significant new hit, My Dress-Up Darling, has officially announced the release date and cast for the English Dub version of the anime. The series made its official anime adaptation premiere earlier this month and has already become a huge hit thanks to the chemistry between the two main leads, Wakana Gojo and Marin Kitagawa. The original manga series, created by mangaka Shinichi Fukuda, was released in 2018.
The official synopsis for My Dress-Up Darling by Square Enix Manga & Books, which publishes the manga in English, reads:
"Traumatized by a childhood incident with a friend who took exception to his love of traditional dolls, doll-artisan hopeful Wakana Gojo passes his days as a loner, finding solace in the home ec room at his high school. To Wakana, people like beautiful Marin Kitagawa, a trendy girl who's always surrounded by a throng of friends, is practically an alien from another world. But when cheerful Marin--never one to be shy--spots Wakana sewing away one day after school, she barges in with the aim of roping her quiet classmate into her secret hobby:Â cosplay."
The Winter 2022 anime schedule came out only a month ago, with fans only checking out the series that have jumped out at them the most so far. However, it looks like even with only three episodes out so far, My Dress-Up Darling is already a fan-favorite! To add to the excellent news, Funimation has confirmed that the English dub of My Dress-Up Darling will be launching on Saturday, January 29th, with the series' first episode.
