The first official cosplay of the series is dedicated to Marin's favorite character, Shizuku Kuroe, from the erotic video game titled Saint Slippery's Academy for Girls - The Young Ladies of the Humiliation Club: Debauched Miracle Life 2. As his first attempt at human-sized clothing, this is arguably the most complex outfit that Gojo has made so far, with many multiple layers of fabric and ruffles using various techniques, all thrown into one look. Fans wait for a full 5 episodes to finally see this look, and as the first official cosplay of My Dress-Up Darling, it does not disappoint!

Let’s not fight, we need to lay Gojo down and get some ice for his head.” Shinju tried to intervene.He didn’t want to consider it but Mr. 36 or 32 or whoever he was was more handsome than him. This guy was a model who did a cosplay of the other half of Kitagawa’s ‘ship’. Of course she would be infatuated with him. Loo, Egan (December 4, 2021).

Oh okay.” Gojo nodded understandingly, a slight blush as other’s in the shop found out what kind of stuff they were into. Or, Kitagawa had been into and gotten him into.
