My Dress-Up Darling, Vol. 2 by Shinichi Fukuda
5.0

So I strongly suggest watching OR reading this series. I already watched season 1 and loved it so much had to pick up the manga.

Marin, aka, wifeu goddess is just trying to cosplay. This volume focuses on Gojo making her first ever cosplay. It takes a lot of work, and he almost loses hope, but Gojo pushes forward and finishes by the deadline. Except that wasn't Marin's actual deadline, she was just mentioning there's a showcase. But since he finished, they decide to go to the convention anyway!

This is a super cute volume but also great to learn about how much work goes into cosplay. Simple things like even eyelashes can be very big part of the costume. I also loved the ending, it's SO freaking adorable and such a nice change of pace. It helps Gojo and Marin are both great lead characters that bounce off each other well.

Sexy shots aside, which I'll take, cause this artist is amazing. She really knows how to do sexy, helps she's a woman and knows the angles and such better, but man the sexy covers between chapters? Butt shots and boobs? I'll take em.

But the main core story is far less dirty with SO much heart, and works so well. I can't recommend it enough for romance/slice of life fans. A 4.5 out of 5.
