1. Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
Episodes:11 with 3 OVAs
I’m putting Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku here because it’s my personal favourite. Also, it’s about a wholesome adult utako life, something most of us can relate to. This charming romcom follows Narumi, a fujoshi trying to keep her nerdy side a secret at work. On the other hand, there’s Hirotaka, her childhood friend, who is a hardcore gamer. The series blends slice-of-life comedy with genuine romantic moments. On top of that, we also get to see the ups and downs of dating as grown, working adults. While it focuses less on cosplay, it shares My Dress-Up Darling’s knack for sharing hobbies and the relationships they inspire.
2. Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun
Episodes:12
Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun is a comedy goldmine. The story follows Chiyo, a high school girl who finally builds up the courage to confess to her crush. However, the twist is that his crush is actually a shoujo manga artist. She ends up helping him with his work, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and quirky character moments. The romance kinda moves slowly. However, this anime’s mix of creative passion and comedic chemistry will feel right at home for My Dress-Up Darling fans.
