1/20/2024 0 Comments My dress up darling hentai![]() ![]() I have read stories that will have 10 chapters of non-stop sex scenes and then crescendo in a dramatic conflict of self-discovery. I can love these characters, get excited to read the sexy bits, and also have emotional reactions to the story while exploring myself as well. As I explored josei smut (often heterosexual romances directed at 18+ women) and 18+ GL (girls’ love) or BL (boys’ love), this became very clear. But other times, I get pulled in because of the characters’ journeys, relationships, hardships, and for the cathartic romantic ending. Not every piece of smut is narratively revelatory it can just be sex scenes with nothing else. While something may just be smut to one reader, it can also be a piece of media that others connect with. This resonated with me, a woman who has always loved erotic content, but didn’t feel comfortable talking about it until I was in my very late 20s. While the show doesn’t shy away from fan service, with close-ups of Marin’s body as she uses cosplay to emulate a character’s appearance, the series always returns to the core theme of what the cosplay means to Marin: her love for the character. And as the series progresses, she also cosplays as Black Lobelia, Rizu-kyun, and Prisoner Veronica - each of the characters has their unique brand of sex appeal, but Marin also admires their personalities. For Marin, cosplaying Shizuku Kuroe is how she shows her love for the character. She’s enamored with Slippery Girls’ Shizuku Kuroe thanks to the character’s timid nature and her ability to connect to others. Throughout My Dress-Up Darling, Marin explains how her favorite character’s personality is not only something she admires, but also an example of how she would like to be. But seeing Marin contextualize her love of eroge characters beyond their appearance, and beyond sex, reminded me of why I gravitate to mature content, and honestly, always have. There are tamer examples of fandom, a la “friend fiction”-writing queen Tina in Bob’s Burgers. While there are tons of pop culture portrayals of teenage boys and men consuming mature content, there are shockingly few examples for teen girls and women exploring their sexuality and their fandom with adult titles. My Dress-Up Darling manages to talk about Marin and her Slippery Girls fandom in a way that isn’t creepy but instead feels validating. But there is one element that struck me about Marin: her love of Saint ♡ Slippery’s Academy for Girls - The Young Ladies of the Humiliation Club: Debauched Miracle Life 2, a fictional eroge (a Japanese portmanteau of “erotic” and “game”) with an 18+ rating. It’s through cosplay that the series spreads the message that it’s OK to love what you love, regardless of the stigma attached. ![]() ![]() Fans fell for the awkward and adorable romance between series leads Marin, a bubbly cosplayer and popular girl at school, and Gojo, the shy and talented classmate who makes her outfits. It offered a wholesome look at cosplay and how it connects people. My Dress-Up Darling is one of the most beloved anime in 2022 so far. ![]()
