My Dress-Up Darling 1 by Shinichi Fukuda is a sweet and spicy rom-com where a loner boy and a flashy girl find common ground via cosplay.

Traumatized by a childhood incident with a friend who took exception to his love of traditional dolls, doll-artisan hopeful Wakana Gojo passes his days as a loner. He finds solace in the home economics room at his high school. To Wakana, people like the beautiful Marin Kitagawa, a trendy girl who's always surrounded by a throng of friends, are practically aliens from another world.

But when the cheerful Marin—never one to be shy—spots Wakana sewing away one day after school, she barges in and ultimately ropes her quiet classmate into her hobby: cosplay! Will Wakana's wounded heart be able to handle the invasion from this sexy alien?
