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 Marinβ€”never one to be shyβ€”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?
