My Dress-Up Darling (Episode 5) – It’s Probably Because This Is the Best Boob Bag Here
Amazed at how wonderful the Shizuku costume is, Marin decides that they should go to the cosplay event and see how that goes. While there, it dawns on Gojou that this might be the end of his adventure!
My Dress-Up Darling (Episode 5) – It’s Probably Because This Is the Best Boob Bag Here
What happened?
Marin is over the moon with the Shizuku costume. It fits her perfectly and looks exactly like the real thing. She asks Gojou to take some pictures of her and once they’re done she creates an online cosplay profile and shares them. It was exciting, but there’s still more. She tells Gojou that they should go to the cosplay event since the dress is ready.
At the cosplay event, Gojou feels incredibly self-conscious, especially as all eyes seem to be on Marin. That soon changes when a photographer asks Marin if she would pose for some photos. She’s delighted as she never expected to be asked. Marin even takes a selfie with the photographer to mark the occasion. Of course, there are others who would like a photo and before long, Marin has a lineup of photographers, waiting to take her picture.
Gojou watches with a smile on his face, but then he realises that it might be over. He made her costume. Would he now go back to being alone with no friends? It was a harsh realisation, but he also didn’t want to spoil Marin’s big day. That was when she came running across the plaza to him and told him that she was about to burst out of her clothes. That should have been impossible, but she decided her boobs weren’t as big as Shizuku-tan and was wearing two bras! She was also overheating.
They went inside and cooled down in a stairwell. Gojou was forced to help her unzip her back and wipe the sweat off her. He considered a lot of the choices he made in the costume and how he hadn’t thought about things like movement and heat. Anyhow, after a break, they returned to the plaza where Marin found the photographer she ran out on and offered to take another picture with her. Just as the picture was taken, the wind swept through lifting her skirt and revealing some writing on her inner thighs!
On the train home, Gojou was reminded that this was probably the end. However, Marin asked him who they should cosplay next. She has fifty number one characters after all. Gojou was delighted and Marin could tell. She teased him and then realised he was tired. As he drifted away, he told her that she looked beautiful today.
What did you think?
This episode was so much fun. Seeing Marin’s joy at becoming Shizuku-tan and then going to the convention was amazing. Of course, Gojou couldn’t handle being around so many girls, he can barely keep it together when it’s just him and Marin. Still, it was cute that she took him somewhere else to make him feel more comfortable. The attention she got from the photographers was cool too. It was just a great episode, and then it happened…
He said it! He called her beautiful. I knew it was coming and this was a great way to do it. He fell asleep almost instantly afterwards, leaving a stunned Marin staring at him with no way to probe him further. Her reaction was brilliant. I’m glad she realised, even if it took a second or two. No doubt, this will have some impact on the next episode. I wonder what she’ll say to him when he wakes up. Will she pretend it didn’t happen or demand an explanation? This series is great and deserved the hype it got.
