About the Series: A Heartfelt Journey of Cosplay and Connection

*Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru* (also known as *My Dress-Up Darling*), a manga by Fukuda Shinichi, was serialized in “Young Gangan” by Square Enix. Although the original manga sadly concluded in March 2025, just before the Season 2 anime broadcast, the anime returned more powerful than ever. The story beautifully portrays the blossoming relationship between Gojou Wakana, a high school boy aspiring to become a Hina Doll artisan, and Kitagawa Marin, a popular girl who is always the life of the class. Their bond deepens through their shared passion for cosplay, sparked by a chance encounter.

Global Buzz and Pre-Broadcast Excitement

The highly anticipated final episode of *Kisekoi* Season 2 finally arrived! Just two days prior, a promotional advertisement was even displayed in New York’s Times Square, generating immense excitement. Suguta Hina, the voice actress for Kitagawa Marin, couldn’t hide her astonishment, exclaiming on her SNS, “MA!!!!???? Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

As the final episode’s broadcast date approached, many individuals involved in the production shared their announcements. Art director Nemoto Hiroyuki posted background art from four in-series works, including “Flower Princess Fierce!!,” expressing gratitude to the late Kouno Ryou-san.

“I hope you’ve all enjoyed the many in-series productions! Of course, I also worked on the art! I can’t thank Kouno Ryou-san enough for accepting the request for Kocchi Can!”

Beyond the in-series productions, live-action elements like the puppet show in Episode 17 and the paper puppet show (peep-show) in Episode 23 also drew attention. Episode 23 particularly impressed with the dialogue direction of Kitagawa-san and friends, who were aiming for a low-angle shot of JuJu-sama cosplaying as Black Lobelia. This unique typography was reportedly created by Yamaguchi Mai-san, featuring dialogue that erupted like an incantation!

As broadcast time drew near, many voices from the cast also emerged. Suguta Hina simply stated, “It’s finally the last episode…! Please enjoy Kisekoi until the very end!”
