My Dress-Up Darling is now in the works on returning to screens with Season 2 later this Summer, and now it has confirmed its release window with the first look at its new episodes. Shinichi Fukuda’s original My Dress-Up Darling manga might have come to an end this week, but the franchise is far from done as the anime is preparing to make a full comeback of its own. The franchise has grown to a whole new level of popularity thanks to the success of its anime adaptation, and thankfully this will be continuing with a new entry not long from now.

How to Catch Up With My Dress-Up Darling
With My Dress-Up Darling now in the works of Season 2, there is plenty of time to catch up with the first season of the series now exclusively streaming with Crunchyroll. There are also physical volumes of Shinichi Fukuda’s original manga series now available on shelves, so there are many options to check out the series before Season 2 hits. It was such a success thanks to the anime that an entire franchise has blossomed in the last few years.
My Dress-Up Darling even inspired an official live-action TV series adaptation in Japan, and although it made some controversial changes to the original events of the series, it was still a sign of how big of a series this has become in a relatively short time. There is unfortunately no current way to watch this live-action series outside of Japan, however, so it’s either the anime or manga you can dive into in the meantime.
