The My Dress-Up Darling anime first aired in early 2022, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the second season. In the meantime, Square Enix has released the Official Anime Fanbook in the West, giving fans a deeper look into the world of the series.
This 100-page hardback book follows the journey of cosplayer Marin Kitagawa and her partner Wakana Gojo as they explore the world of cosplay and develop a unique bond. The book is divided into different sections, starting with a gallery of images and character profiles. The interviews with key staff members shed light on the love and dedication that went into creating the series.
The costume designer, Erika Nishihara, shares insights into the intricate details of the costumes, highlighting the attention to detail that sets My Dress-Up Darling apart. The story guide provides a comprehensive overview of each episode, accompanied by commentary from the director and scriptwriter.
One of the special features of the fanbook is a section dedicated to the shows and games that inspired Marin’s costumes, adding an extra layer of depth to the series. An interview with Marin’s Japanese voice actor, Hina Suguta, offers fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes process of bringing the characters to life.
While the fanbook is comprehensive in its coverage of the series, some fans may be disappointed by the absence of an interview with Wakana’s voice actor. However, the book still offers a wealth of information and insights for fans of the anime.
