Chapter 59

This is the fourth chapter of the eighth volume and the fifty-ninth chapter overall of the *My Dress-Up Darling* manga series written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda.

## Summary

Marin changes out of the suit after the costume fitting. She and Wakana go over to the art room to work on the rainbow rose that Marin is going to use for the pageant.

In the art room, they start working on the rainbow rose. They use spray paint to color the white rose. However, the colors that they used all bled together and turned the rose black. They had used the coloring method detailed in a costume book they had, but in this case, it wasn't getting them the results that they wanted.

As Wakana is trying to figure out how to color the rose, Karen and Siera arrive at the art room because they wanted to see Marin in cosplay. Unfortunately, they were not able to see Marin in her suit since she already changed out of the costume. Karen notices Wakana holding the black rose and asks if that was supposed to be the rainbow rose. They were discussing how they were unable to make it when Siera interrupts and says that she can help them.

Siera leaves to get the things they need to make the rainbow rose and instructs them to go to the science lab while they wait. After some time, she arrives at the science lab with a new white rose. She demonstrates to them how to make a rainbow rose and they remark at how simple the procedure is. Wakana thanks her for making things easier for him, but she tells him that she's just glad because being counted on made her happy.

This leaves Wakana in deep thought. He always had a hard time relying on other people because he was afraid to be a burden to them. He realizes that no one has ever said that to him and that he merely made assumptions about other people's feelings. He sees that he was only complicating matters with his thoughts and that maybe, it was all right to keep things simple.

## Appearance

Hikaru has short blonde hair and a dark shirt with white spots.

## Personality

Hikaru looks scary from a distance which made Wakana Gojo misunderstand a situation at first. During their first meeting, Wakana's went to defend Marin because he mistakenly thought Hikaru was berating her for not going out with him. It led to hilarity by Manabu who pointed out that Wakana thought Hikaru was hitting on her.

Hikaru likes cute things and comments how jealous he was when Gojo won a stuffed animal for Marin. He is jealous as he wants someone to take him on a date and get a crane machine stuffed animal for him too.

## Summary

Marin's circle photoshoot goes on longer than anticipated. Her friends—Suzuka, Miyako, and Chitose—help her wrap it up because she doesn't know how to end it and because she's too tired to do so.

Despite the exhaustion, Marin enjoyed the photoshoot. She thanks her friends for their help and wishes she could do all of it with Wakana forever. Just then, a woman named Abe approaches her and tries to scout her for Sparkle Productions, a company that wants to hire her as a professional cosplayer.

Before Marin can respond to the offer, she remembers the wish she just recently made: to keep cosplaying with Wakana. She frantically looks for him amongst the crowd and is surprised to see him looking somber and downcast.

After the Comiket, Wakana and Marin ride the train home without speaking to one another, which makes Marin sad. When the train reaches Wakana's stop, he disembarks and leaves Marin without saying a word.

Elsewhere, a man named Kougami Mamoru, a famous mangaka, receives a phone call from his editor.

Flower Princess Blaze

*For the story arc, see Flower Princess Blaze Arc.*

**Flower Princess Blaze!!** (フラワー プリンセス 烈 (れつ) , *Furawā Purinsesu Retsu*?), also referred to as **Blaze!!** (烈 (れつ) , *Retsu*?) for short, is a magical girl anime that is popular with young girls, teenagers and adults. The story revolves around a number of characters, as well as numerous themes such as drama, love and tragedy.

## Background

*Flower Princess Blaze!!* is an anime series that features magic as well as combating the forces of evil. As told by Marin Kitagawa, it involves a number of complicated relationships among its set of characters. Shion and Mirai pine over Sakuya to the point where they get into fights over him. As it turns out however, Sakuya and Soma were dating in secret, with this fact being easy to spot despite never being officially stated. Shion's sister, Neon, was in love with Soma as well.

Neon became the enemy known as Black Lobelia when her Flower Jewel was tainted from the shock of her broken heart, feeling rejected by her parents and being unable to win Soma's affection. This both transformed her appearance while also changing her personality. Eventually, Shion is forced to come over to her sister's side, becoming Black Lily in the process.

According to the anime, the Nikaido sisters popularity exploded among girls in grade school, as well as adult males. The series is quite popular with merchandise such as keychains, plushies, figurines, and official cosplay outfits being made and sold after its characters. It can be assumed that everyone will return to good by the end of the series.

The whole series consists of 126 episodes.

Chapter 52

This is the fifth chapter of the seventh volume and the fifty-second chapter overall of the *My Dress-Up Darling* manga series written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda.

## Summary

Wakana finishes reading the "Prez-Host" manga and is greatly touched by the bento scene. The following day, he shares his thoughts on the manga with Marin. He then shows Marin his sketch of the Rei-sama costume and shares his plans on how to he can help Marin portray her as accurate as possible, such as having her wear shapewear to hide her feminine shape.

While Wakana is going on with his plans, Marin gets flustered at the thought of him having memorized her measurements. She snaps out of it when Wakana asks for her opinion about something. They had two weeks to prepare for the costume, but in Wakana's case, he is still pressed for time since he won't be able to focus on costume-making alone. This is because their homeroom teacher assigned all the boys to handle the classroom decorating, so he has double duty.

Marin and Wakana start to worry since the time Wakana has to prepare will be even shorter than the time that he spent making Marin's Shizuku Kuroe costume. Seeing the emergency, Marin declares that they have no other choice but to have her make the costume herself.

## Summary

In the school's sewing room, Wakana inspects the wig he trimmed the other night while waiting for Marin to change into the costume. In the changing room, Marin wears some shapewear to flatten her chest and her butt to hide her feminine figure. She also wraps a towel around her waist. With her are Nowa, Rune and Daia who are amazed at all the work put into cosplaying, but Marin shares that being able to become the character she loves makes everything worth it.

Back at the sewing room, Marin has already put on the suit while her classmates look in awe at how well-made the costume is. However, Wakana looks anything but happy with how it turned out and Marin notices. Wakana notices that the suit is a little big for her and realizes that he made the suit based on Marin's normal measurements without accounting for the change due to the shapewear she would be wearing. He decides to make the adjustments, promising to have the suit ready in time for the pageant.

Before Marin changes out of the costume, Wakana tells her that there was something he wanted to try first.

Chapter 46

This is the seventh chapter of the sixth volume and the forty-sixth chapter overall of the *My Dress-Up Darling* manga series written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda.

## Summary

Marin and Wakana have rented out a studio for their Arisa Izayoi photoshoot. Wakana is amazed at the different sets and props available at the studio and is excited to take a lot of great photos.

Marin shares that she selected this studio after seeing Suzuka's photos of "President Luna" who is also a character in the Tsukiyono Company show. Wakana and Marin praise the details put into the cosplay, which include the backdrop and the cosplayer's look, and the technique of the the shots for the photos.

Marin already did her makeup at home to cut down on the preparation time in the studio, a tip shared to her by Suzuka. She goes ahead and changes into her costume while Wakana takes a look around the set. Before changing, Marin tells Wakana that she knows how uncomfortable Wakana can get when Marin shows too much skin, so she assures him that she found a workaround for him, for which Wakana is thankful.

However, after Marin changes into her costume, Wakana's face is anything but assured since he can still see a lot of skin due to the bodysuit's high-cut style. Marin says that she bought a swallowtail jacket and wore stick on underwear that won't show under the costume. Wakana points out that she is still showing a lot of skin, but she tells him that what he is seeing isn't actually her skin, but flesh-toned pantyhose, so kind of like showing skin but not really. In Wakana's 15-year-old mind, however, all of it was skin and he sweats profusely.

Wakana starts taking pictures while Marin poses as Arisa. Unfortunately, he is still distracted and unable to focus especially when Marin poses suggestively. Unable to keep his mind straight, he asks for them to take a break.

During their break, Marin talks about how much she loves the stockings that she's wearing, but that she loves the more classic style that "Komari Mikagura," another *Tsucom* character, wears. She initially plans on cosplaying as her at home but realizes that she can just wear her planned costume to the Halloween party that she had been planning to attend with Nowa. In her excitement, she invites Wakana to the said party and asks if he wanted to do it in cosplay.

## Summary

Wakana experiments with a glue gun in making props for the Haniel costume. He calls Akira to get her insights. She explains the many uses of the glue gun, such as making skeletons and blood vessels. She tells Wakana that making the ribs for the costume should be easier if he makes an outline that he can trace before he starts. Wakana notes that the dried resin from the glue gun is glossy, so Akira tells him that he can color over it, but if it isn't good enough, he will have to make the ribs out of COS boards. Akira continues to give alternatives in making the ribs, saying that Wakana can pick whichever method he likes the most.

Wakana asks Akira for her opinion regarding the fabric for the haori. She tells him that she'll see if she can find anything and that he should call her if something comes up.

Kaoru calls Wakana to eat and the latter realizes that he forgot to cook their dinner. Kaoru assures him that it's fine and not to worry about him. Kaoru also offers Wakana the use of the upstairs storage if he needs more room.

Wakana receives a video call from Marin who is at a fabric store, helping Wakana look for the fabric he needs for the costume. She had asked help from the store clerk who gave their recommendations based on what Wakana is looking for. She shows Wakana the recommended fabrics, but none of them are good enough for him. He apologizes for not being able to make a decision, but Marin tells him that it's okay and that she'll call him once she gets to the next store.

After the call, Wakana pictures the costume in his head and knows the fabric he wants but he can't figure out what it's called.

## Summary

Wakana, Marin and Amane arrive at the costume shop, and they immediately look at the wearable boobs called "Boobs Neosister." Marin and Amane note how easier it is to simply equip the boobs rather than stuff their bras or use NuBras.

Amane equips the boobs on Wakana to demonstrate how easy it is to use. Marin immediately gropes the boobs which makes Wakana plead for her to stop since it was embarrassing him. They take a look around and see ready-made costumes of popular characters, with Amane noting that this was where he bought the costume he is currently wearing.

They proceed to the third floor and find a variety of make-up for sale. Wakana's eyes light up at the assortment of products. Amane explains the different kinds available in the store and Wakana decides to buy some. Marin muses at Wakana's enthusiasm.

Next, they go to the back where wigs are sold. Here, the wigs are different from what Wakana and Marin usually buy at Swallowtail as they are character wigs which have been pre-styled. Amane explains they you can take parts from one wig and stick them on as is. He adds that specialty shops such as this is an ally to cosplayers like him who do not have the time nor the skill to make their own costumes.

As Wakana is idling through the store, he comes across rack dedicated to cosplay modeling boards, which intrigues him. The three finally make it out of the store. Wakana takes a photo of Marin and Amane. A couple of cosplayers from the same show as Amane ask if they could take a picture with him. He hesitates for a bit, asking them if they wouldn't mind if he joined since he is crossplaying. They fawn over him, amazed at how good he looks and how hard it is to tell that he is crossdressing. Wakana takes their picture while Marin happily observes how great the three of them look in their costumes.

After the two cosplayers leave. Marin asks Amane what got him started into cosplaying. Amane answers that it started the first time he put on makeup in his second year of high school.

However, after seeing the Wakana's enthusiasm to learn about crossplaying, Amane proceeds to share with Wakana and Marin the areas where he takes particular care of, such as making his eyes look bigger using makeup, using orange concealer to hide his stubble, using liquid glue to keep his wigs in place, and using his wig and hands to hide the masculine features of his face while posing for pictures. Wakana and Marin take this all in, with Wakana enjoying trading tips and secrets, and learning new things from their new friend.

Amane shows them his cosplay social media account the three go through his pictures. Wakana takes in the details of his costumes and his poses and takes a mental note for future use.

Chapter 96

This is the ninety-sixth chapter overall of the *My Dress-Up Darling* manga series written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda.

## Summary

Marin is at Wakana's house to have her make-up and costume ready for the Winter Comiket later. Before they get started, Wakana opens up to Marin about his real intention on why he wanted to make the Haniel costume. He says that when he first saw Haniel, he immediately thought that he wanted to make the outfit so he could see it in person, despite not even knowing what the story was about. He says that he felt the same way as when he saw a hina doll for the first time. However, unlike then, Haniel stole his heart; he felt so overwhelmed and realized that this is how it is to move someone's heart with one's creation.

He admits that this is his selfish desire and that the only way to bring Haniel into this world is through Marin's help. Wakana says that he's seen Marin breathe life into all the characters she's ever cosplayed. He adds that if she lends him her help, she can help fulfill his selfish desires.

Marin asks how he wants her to act in cosplay. Wakana describes how he sees Haniel. He says that to cosplay the archangel, she has to put on an emotionless smile to show the viewer that she doesn't love them, but at the same time, she should look enchanting enough that people will still fall in love with her regardless.

Marin gets confused by the seemingly contradictory description Wakana tells her and begins to doubt if she can pull it off. However, Wakana encourages her, saying that she'll be fine because she's Marin Kitagawa. Wakana starts working on her make-up, having in mind what his grandfather said about making people fall in love at first sight with their creation.

After much preparation, Wakana and Marin head over to the Winter Comiket, with Marin in full Haniel make-up and costume. Everyone who sees her is captivated by the archangel before them.

Chapter 27

This is the fourth chapter of the fourth volume and the twenty-seventh chapter overall of the My Dress-Up Darling manga series written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda.

## Summary

Gojo shows off his school uniform at his place to use as the base for the outfit. Shinju tries it on while Gojo thinks that the outfit would be too huge for Marin. Shinju's chest is too large and she ends up flinging a button towards the wall behind Gojo accidentally. After Gojo sews up the button and Shinju changes into a spare set of clothes, Gojo notes that the size was perfect. Gojo thinks it over and remembers when his aunt posed for a kimono and a sarashi wrap was used.

Gojo decides to try a sarashi wrap on Shinju and while it works to some effect, the chest is still sticking out. Gojo also notices the girlish curves, so he suggests using some shoulder pads. Gojo ends up looking online and discovers that a B holder was used. Gojo thinks it'll be expensive but it's only 2980 yen. Gojo also measures Shinju's head for when he buys her wig but accidentally touches her chest. Both of them end up freaking out over that.
