My Dress-Up Darling 06

Another great issue. Watanabe and Marin are trying to do a bunny girl costume, and run into all sorts of problems. But they learn even more about cosplay and costumes. Along with the issue of, are they dating? Neither of them seems to know the real answer.

What I love most about this manga is the author's incredible attention to detail. You can tell she puts her all into research. Another great volume. I've learned so much about make-up and costume design that I have a new appreciation for cosplayers and the dedication they have to their passions. I eagerly await the next book.

This one was purchased by my fat fingers and unknown to me was in the que as a pre purchase. I've seen and enjoyed the anime so I thought: "What the Hell, I'll read it", instead of disputing the purchase. It's a sweet story about two awkward kids who are both very passionate about their hobbies/future profession and unknown feelings developing between them. Good Art, some insight into Japan's cosplay scene and its stores and techniques. There's a nice personal story from another person they meet at an event. Well worth the time and a few bucks. Note: I haven't bought any of the previous issues of this manga but the story was still easy to follow.

The problem of making a bunny girl costume stay in the right place occupies the start of this book It is revealed that Wakana is making costumes for Marin which clears up some misconceptions in the fabric store. Then cross-play is discussed in a very sensible way. Finally the question "Are Wakana and Marin dating?" comes up. Wakana says no, what will Marin say and how will this reflect their relationship going forward. This is a bit less ecchi than some volumes and the issues addressed are a touch deeper but it retains its sense of humour and charm. Will the two-some split up or will their relationship get deeper. It can't just be about cosplay can it? Looking forward to volumer 7.
