“I have no interest in real girls!”
So claims Okumura, the president of the school’s manga club. He’s your typical otaku, obsessed with a sexy (fictional) 2D manga character known as Lilliel.

A more well rounded depiction of cosplay and cosplay culture, in a romantic-comedy-fanservice framework.
_My Dress-Up Darling_ was a show I enjoyed immensely and watched multiple times, including for the Anime Explorations Podcast (my monthly Anime Book Club podcast). I appreciated how the show got into the work of creating cosplay costumes. However, it felt like something was missing, but I couldn’t q…
