Hilarious, well-researched, dragging its feet: "My Dress-Up Darling"

When I picked this one off my watch list, I was a bit concerned. This was due to the vague synopsis Crunchyroll had provided - I couldn't tell whether this would be a romantic story or something of a fetish thing or what. Would it be overly dramatic, funny, light-hearted, no idea? Welp, no better way to know than diving in and finding out.

Wakana Gojou is a high-school first-year living with his grandfather, apprenticing with him to make hina dolls. He became deeply fascinated with the beauty of this work as a young boy and dedicates serious effort in learning the craft. An incident in his youth made him think that all the other children will think of him as weird for adoring dolls so much. He doesn't have any friends and spends lots of time honing his skills.

All of this changes when Marin Kitagawa comes into his life - a trendy beauty from his class. She finds out what he kept hidden so well from everybody else and her reaction is... pure delight! Because Marin wants to be a cosplayer and make her own costumes, but she lacks the skills, so she calls on Wakana to make her a costume to truly embody her favorite character.

(After this point I will drop spoilers, but I think all of that above was fair game because it's in episode 1.)

The lively and sociable Marin is of course the perfect counterpoint to the reclusive, devoted Wakana. She's bursting with so much genki and passion that she struggles with keeping the serious faces and poses needed for taking good cosplay in-character pictures because she's so damn happy about it. It's quite infectious.

The tongue is deep in the cheek

Wakana gets drawn into the cosplay world and begins to develop his own utter infatuation with it - with how to make a perfect outfit down to the smallest details, or how to do makeup. When he goes into creator mode, Marin becomes the canvas on which he projects art. At the same time he's also dealing with the fact that he's suddenly all the time involved with a lively, good-looking girl that isn't the least bit shy. It's a great setup.

One of the hilarious aspects of the story is the light it shines on many parts of otaku culture by being just a tad over the top with them. Her first outfit choice is based on a hypersexualized computer game named Saint ♡ Slippery's Academy for Girls - The Young Ladies of the Humiliation Club: Debauched Miracle Life 2, a game apparently featuring girls as BDSM subs just as a starting point. Adults overhearing the casual conversations the characters have about the game are deeply shocked, given that the intro scene features a character who can't stop ejaculating or a major plot arc in this "high school" game is the Spurts Festival.

Or take the light novel they draw a character from: It has a title spanning several lines, putting everything about the main plot/setup into the title. This shines a spotlight that even good Japanese works might have lousy or at least completely on-the-nose titles. (Seriously, even German movie titles have nothing on it!) After all, right now I'm reading the wonderful Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway and have in the past talked about Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious...

Where there is absolutely no tongue in-cheek is the absolutely wonderful depiction of the world of cosplay - the relation to the fans, the effort that goes into costumes, the growing industry behind it, the techniques and tricks, the resources, people who "crossplay" to a different gender... all is handled with great respect. I don't know much about cosplay, and I found this aspect of the anime and manga quite unique, and in many ways, educational.

It's actually a teenage love story?

Remember the title above this article? There's a reason why I said this show and manga drag their feet. I watched all of the wonderful season 1 and dove right into the manga after. And boy, is it indeed dragging its feet on the love story. And love it is!

Yes, Marin and Wakana become friends. Fast friends, people that spend lots and lots of time together. Marin is not in the least shy about her body around Wakana (we learn later that she also models as a part-time job)... until she realizes she has a crush on him. This is actually played funnily and wonderfully, and I find it very enjoyable.

This part of the story seems at least "on track" until the anime finishes, with things escalating in a love hotel that Marin booked as their "studio" backdrop mostly by accident. A rather believable series of events lead almost to a kiss as they are both dropped into a situation that gets all their hormones going, and yet it completely lacks the contrivance of "boys falling on girls" and similar anime tropes usually employed to bridge the physical distance. I loved it.

What I don't love is how season 1 leaves us hanging. I then read the next three translated manga volumes (all there is until July). And I'm getting annoyed that there hasn't been any development since. It's as if that incident didn't happen - almost. The story is back in the jail the author designed to prevent things from happening. I guess if the cat was out of the bag too soon, this would remove a lot of tension from it. But come on - Wakana is so utterly clueless, there would be plenty of things to put after a first kiss or a confession for these two to navigate.

But so far, nothing happened.

Fridge Logic that cools down the love story

You know what fridge logic is? It's those gaps in the logic behind a story that you notice only after you disengage with a medium - like on your way from the couch to the fridge after watching a movie. And boy, this show has its fair share!

The basic setup between Wakana and Marin is that he is shy, has been raised by his grandfather (and therefore might have outdated standards on what is "inappropriate"), he definitely was sheltered and had no link to youth culture, his age peers, or even events in his area (come on, he never went to the local fireworks festival!!). Marin may be all genki, lively, sexy, but we seem to catch her in the time of her life - remember first year of high school, I think it's mentioned she's 15 - before dating entered her life for real. But that's only part of the setup.

The trauma of feeling ostracized about his passion for dolls and doll-making - and it not being what a boy "should" do - and his lack of friends has left Wakana with low self-esteem. In spite of how he feels about Marin, he cannot imagine that she would want him. Whenever people mention that they look good together or assume he's her boyfriend or ask if they are dating - after all, they have an awesome energy together - he goes into denial mode. Because Wakana thinks it would bother Marin. He can't even see that she actually wants him to consider the possibility.

Both of them are not helping. Wakana's denials are taken quite literally by Marin who thinks Wakana might not reciprocate her feelings. Marin in turn tries to flirt with and tease Wakana, but she always escapes into "just kidding" the moment it has even a chance to get serious. (She cannot own the boldness or the tease she puts forth, which is actually quite adorable as well.) This locks both of them into a stalemate because neither of them can make a move - either not contemplate it or not pull through with it.

After having finished Volume 8 I have to say this has become frustrating. Because the fridge logic is so apparent! Yes, Wakana essentially has nobody to talk about this, but Marin has friends. Friends that know about Wakana. Friends with an increasingly good impression of Wakana. Friends who think they actually would make a cute couple! There's nobody trying to get in between them out of jealousy. Nobody trying to mislead them.

All it would take for this to move forward is for Marin to confess her crush on Wakana to a friend because she cannot keep it in anymore, and that friend would set her head straight and say: "I think you need to make the first move. Wakana is too shy. He probably cannot even imagine that you want him. Have you any idea how out of his reach you must seem?" And things would go from there. There's no way a 15 year old girl can not spill the beans on this to a friend. (As long as she has friends, mkay.)

Missed opportunities

The other disappointing thing is that the story never makes use of or make explicit the other possible hindrance. His low self-esteem hinders Wakana. So does his childhood trauma. But he never seems to speak these out loud so anybody can engage him on them. Marin never gets a chance to say "Hey, you're wrong." Nor does his grandfather.

Even worse, it never makes use of a potential dramatic setup that the show naturally created. Marin is Wakana's only real friend, the channel for his passion. Can he actually risk all of that for the potential to be more to her? It's never even addressed or spoken out loud that risking losing Marin might seem losing everything he loves in one go. Now that's a high bar to clear, but I didn't find a hint of this rather natural development in the manga.

He learns valuable lessons - that there are people who will not think less of him because of his passions. That it can actually be cool to be skilled when most teenagers have barely any actual skills or all trained to acquire the same ones. He learns to lean on others, to not burn himself out or take on too much - and I appreciate his growth arc in this regard.

But if you make a damn romantic anime/manga, you need to get things moving at this point. And you can't act like both of them are utterly braindead. They both know they almost kissed. How can months pass after that without anything happening? That feels like The Simpsons continuity where everything resets after the episode ends. And I don't like that.

So, I'm bummed out having to wait until July and October to know how the story continues. I hope the show will get more episodes, it was a lot of fun. And I wouldn't be bummed out if I hadn't enjoyed it to begin with.

Now throw us a damn bone!

Higehiro, or “Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway” is a romantic comedy anime series that first aired in the spring of 2021. The romantic comedy genre, the most popular in Japan, has been the subject of many mangas, light novels, and anime series. One of the last products of this genre, Higehiro, is actually based on a light novel series. Shimesaba writes the light novel with manga adaptations. On the other hand, the anime television series was created by the Japanese animation studio Project No.9. We also know the studio from animes like Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun and High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World. Higehiro originally aired on Japanese local networks such as AT-X, Tokyo MX, and BS11 as 13 episodes from April 5, 2021, to June 28, 2021. Crunchyroll licensed the series so viewers from all over the world could watch the anime with English subtitles. Now fans are wondering if the anime will have a second season.1 What is the plotline of Higehiro?2 Will there be a second season of Higehiro?2.1 Higehiro: Light Novel2.2 Disc sales and the popularity of the series2.3 Season 2: In conclusionWhat is the plotline of Higehiro?The picture from @Crunchyroll Collection – YouTube TrailerHigehiro revolves around Yoshida, an office worker, and Sayu, a runaway high school student. Yoshida has a crush on her co-worker Airi Gotou. Working in an IT company, Yoshida is rejected by this girl he has loved for five years. On his way back home, drunk and sad, he stumbles upon Sayu sitting alone under a street lamp on a dim road. Yoshida advises Sayu to go home, and she responds by asking him to take her home. After her failed attempt to seduce Yoshida, Sayu spends the night at his home anyway. In the morning, Sayu tells Yoshida about how she escaped from Hokkaido to Tokyo and offered sincere favors for a roof over her head. However, Yoshida is not impressed by her seduction. Yoshida decides that the girl can stay as long as she goes to school and helps with the housework. Thus begins the touching relationship between a heartbroken adult and a runaway high school girl.Will there be a second season of Higehiro?As of August 9, 2022, at the time of writing, Project No.9, Kadokawa, or any anime-related company, has not yet renewed the anime for a second season. Sometimes animes announce their second season confirmations during the first season finales, but unfortunately, Higehiro is not among those animes. It is not officially known whether the anime will have a second season so far. We see that Higehiro anime has a good audience compared to other anime that came out in the same period. However, although there is no official confirmation, a second season of the anime does not look much possible. Animes receive new season approvals under certain main factors. Light novel resource adequacy, disc sales, popularity, exclusive distributors, etc., are the main factors. We have speculated about the second season, so let’s have a look together at why the second season looks not much possible although the series is popular enough.Higehiro: Light NovelLike many animes, Higehiro is adapted from a light novel. The original of the series is written by Shimesaba and illustrated by booota. The light novel was started publishing by Kadokawa Shoten on February 1, 2018. The original series has more than 2 million copies in circulation in total. The series, which published 5 volumes + 1 short story in total, unfortunately, was completed on June 1, 2021. It looks like the light novel will no longer continue. This indicates that the source material for the anime is currently limited. On the other hand, it is a pity that all light novel volumes were adapted in the first season of the anime.On the other hand, it has been announced that it will be published that a new side-story light novel on June 28, 2021. Shimesaba informs the fans that the story takes place in a period of several years before Sayu and Yoshida meet again. However, it still seems difficult to be the subject of a new anime season. If a sequel of the light novel is announced in the future, this seems possible, but this possibility is very tough for now.Disc sales and the popularity of the seriesThe anime has become one of the most beloved anime of spring 2021. The anime, which has gained a large fan base worldwide, is also very popular in Japan. Although it is a new anime series, it already has over 100k Twitter followers. In the same season, The Misfit of Demon King Academy was another very popular anime, and 91k users follow it. It also has a strong search volume on Google. The anime has a higher search volume than any anime licensed by Funimation or Crunchyroll and released in the same period. Tokyo Revengers was the best of the season, but we can say that it came right after. The anime also already has a pretty good popularity ranking on Myanimelist.In disc sales, unfortunately, the target was not fully realized. Of course, the big drop in disc sales in recent years also has an effect on this. People are now turning to online platforms instead of disc sales. But, It’s still good financial data for comparison with other animes released nowadays. Tokyo Revengers managed to sell 3,207 units in the two-volume average, while Higehiro sold 1,977 units in the first two-volume average. Looking at it, we can say that there are low sales figures for both anime.Season 2: In conclusionAlthough the popularity of the anime is good, a second season is quite difficult. Disc sales are poor, but the main problem is the source material. The original light novel has been completed and is no longer being published. We do not think that the side story novels that will be published are sufficient for a new anime season. If something changes in the future or official information comes, we will inform you again. Until then, we would like to recommend two anime that are popular in the romantic comedy genre. The Quintessential Quintuplets or Eromanga Sensei are two of the lesser-known animes in this genre that you might like.
