Now in its second season, My Dress Up Darling combines a familiar premise (an unlikely relationship between a popular girl and an awkward loner boy) with a much more unusual topic: Traditional Japanese hina dolls.

The show’s protagonist Wakana keeps his love of hina dolls a secret, aware that crafting old-fashioned dolls won’t earn him any points with his peers. But when his popular classmate Marin finds out, she realises that they have a lot in common.

As a cosplayer, Marin suggests that she and Wakana should combine their hobbies. Gradually, this brings the shy Wakana and the upbeat Marin together, setting the scene for a charming romantic comedy.

What's the plot of My Dress Up Darling?

Ornamental hina dolls are a traditional Japanese artform, displayed around Hinamatsuri, or "Doll's Day." Usually dressed in intricate costumes, these dolls require serious craftsmanship from their creators. In My Dress Up Darling, the teenage boy Wakana Gojo is one such artist.

After an embarrassing childhood incident, Wakana keeps his doll hobby a secret. But when his popular classmate Marin discovers his talent for sewing, they form an unexpected partnership, with Wakana helping to make her cosplay costumes.

In season 2, Wakana and Marin grow closer together, with Wakana gaining new confidence instead of shutting himself off from his peers. Meanwhile Marin gets to showcase some of her new costumes at a fan convention and the school’s beauty pageant.

My Dress Up Darling season 2 is available to watch now on Crunchyroll. Season 1 is available to watch on Crunchyroll, Netflix and Amazon Prime.
