Falling on the back of romantic comedy and slice-of-life genres, My Dress-Up Darling season 2 is set to be released sometime in 2024. This is owing to the success of the season 1 which aired from January to May 2022. The series was originally a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Shinichi Fukuda. Then its first TV adaptation was produced by CloverWorks and directed by Keisuke Shinohara.
In September 2022, it was announced that the series season 2 was under production and will be released in 2024. What is anticipated in season 2 of the anime is more appealing plots, twists, climaxes, emotional appeal, logical consistency, and originality. Also, the second part will definitely continue from where the first part stopped.
A little trip into the first season 1 of My Dress-Up Darling is a story that opens up on the life of an orphan Wakana Gojo who dreams of making hina dolls like his grandfather. While he deals with self-esteem, his life turns around when a famous girl in his school, Marin Kitagawa asks for him to design a dress for her.
Everything Important to Know About Dress-Up Darling Season 2
My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 Release Date
Although there is no official date set for the release of part two of My Dress-Up Darling, it will be released in late 2024. The announcement of season 2 came on September 17, 2022, through Aniplex. At the time, it was revealed that season 2 of the series was under production.
Before the second season’s release, the series season 1 can be watched on several platforms on the internet. Some of them include Crunchyroll and Just Watch.
What to Expect from the New Season
If anything, there is a certainty that the love and new path in fashion in the lives of Wakana Gojo and Marin will unfold in season 2 of the series.
A little peek into its first part would be an endearing opening of the lives of young schoolgoers who found something to rely on while putting fashion and love at the center. It ran through 39 chapters before it ended.
This would be apparent that the return of My Dres-Up Darling will come with a continuation from chapter 40. If going by a similar route, which is something that we already expect, there is definitely going to be another success story for the series.
Going based on the book which the anime got inspiration from, the more story to unfold is the development of the romantic lives of Wakana and Marin.
Wakana’s perceptions will also expand by cosplay and working more with other people rather than in his comfort zone and with his lover, Marin.
The story will split itself into episodes. Its season 1 has 12 episodes and season 2 may follow a similar path and have anything from 10 to 15 episodes. This is because production companies mostly release one episode weekly and Japan has four TV seasons.
These seasons are Winter (January to March); Spring (April to June), Summer (July to September), and Fall (October to December). Since there are 4 weeks in each month and there are about 12 months in a season (TV seasons in Japan), then, My Dress Darling may run for three months and have about 12 episodes.
Who is starring in My Dress-Up Darling Season 2?
The second season of My Dress-Up Darling will return its major characters, Wakana Gojo and Marin Kitagawa. Other characters that may return are Sajuna Inui, voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki (Japanese) and Risa Mei (English); Shinju Inui, voiced by Hina Yōmiya (Japanese) and Jad Saxton (English); and Narrator voiced by Misako Tomioka (Japanese) and Brianna Roberts (English).
Wakana is voiced by Shōya Ishige, Tomoyo Takayanagi (young) (Japanese) and Paul Dateh and Jack Britton (young) (English). Marin on the other hand is voiced by Paul Dateh and Jack Britton (young) (English).
The character of Wakana Gojo is an orphan boy raised by his grandfather, a craftsman of hina dolls. He learned the art and is interested in learning. Unfortunately, he does not have confidence since he received criticism that the art is more of a woman’s thing.
Upon reaching high school, he meets Mari, a positive, warm, and friendly girl. She dislikes people who judge others. She also mostly lives alone as she lost her mother while her father is always away for work.
Apart from these cast members among others that appeared in season 1 and may also appear in season 2, there are chances that the anime sequel may also have other new characters.
Is there a trailer for My Dress-Up Darling Season 2?
At the time of this report, there is no official trailer for My Dress-Up Darling 2. Regardless, if the series follows a similar path to many other series, the trailer will be released three months before the official release date of the My Dree-Up Darling sequel.
However, the trailer may decide to follow the same channel as season one which was released on 2 January 2021, only a few days before the series’ official release date.
