Fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of Marin Kitagawa and Wakana Gojo’s heartwarming cosplay journey in My Dress-Up Darling may be looking for information regarding specific episodes, such as Season 2, Episode 17. While the second season has indeed premiered, it’s important to clarify the confirmed episode count for this highly anticipated return.
Season 2 Confirmed for 12 Episodes
My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 officially began airing in July 2025, with new episodes premiering on Crunchyroll. However, contrary to the expectation of an Episode 17, multiple reputable sources, including the official website for My Dress-Up Darling and various anime news outlets, have confirmed that the second season will consist of 12 episodes. This aligns with the episode count of the first season, which also ran for 12 episodes.
The production studio, CloverWorks, has adapted Shinichi Fukuda’s hit manga, and while fans might have hoped for a longer run given the three-year break between seasons, the 12-episode format has been maintained.
Where to Watch My Dress-Up Darling Season 2
For those looking to catch up on the latest adventures of Marin and Wakana, My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The episodes typically premiere on Saturdays for international audiences, with English subtitles available first, followed by English dubs at a later date. In Japan, the anime airs on channels such as Tokyo MX, BS11, Tochigi TV, and Gunma TV.
The Continuing Story of Marin and Wakana
Despite the 12-episode length, Season 2 promises to continue exploring Marin’s developing emotions and Gojo’s growing confidence, alongside more intricate cosplay scenes and the introduction of new characters. The anime’s success stems from its blend of romantic comedy and slice-of-life elements, centered around the niche interest of cosplay creation, which remains central to the evolving relationship between the main characters.
As of early August 2025, with the season having commenced in July, a 12-episode run would not naturally extend to a 17th episode under a standard weekly release schedule. Therefore, any anticipation for a specific “Episode 17” of Season 2 might stem from a misunderstanding of the confirmed total episode count for the current season. Fans can look forward to the entirety of the 12-episode second season, which is expected to conclude in late September 2025.
