On Sunday, it was announced that two new actors would be joining the cast of the My Dress-Up Darling anime series, which is based on Shinichi Fukuda's manga of the same name. These new cast members will begin appearing in episode 20 of the series.
Maki Kawase plays Asahi Ogata, Suzuka's friend who is into making cosplay props.

The anime began its first episode on July 6th at midnight according to Japan Standard Time (JST).

In Japan, a TV series based on a manga began airing in January 2022 with 12 episodes. It was available for streaming on Funimation as it was released, along with an English dub. Additionally, Crunchyroll offered both the original Japanese version and its English translation for viewers.
The manga also inspired a live-action series adaptation, which premiered in Japan in October 2024.
Square Enix Manga & Books publishes the manga in English, and it describes the story:
Traumatized by a childhood incident with a friend who took exception to his love of traditional dolls, doll-artisan hopeful Wakana Gojō 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: cosplay .
In January 2018, the manga began publishing in Square Enix's "Young Gangan" magazine. It was later serialized monthly during its "Tenmei" (Mandate of Heaven) arc starting September 2023. This arc began with chapter 86 which debuted in January 2023. Although it ended on March 21st, there will be bonus and epilogue chapters released at a later date. On July 25th, Square Enix published its 15th volume. Meanwhile, "Young Gangan" published its 13th volume in English on April 15th. Finally, the 14th volume will be released in English on October 21st.
