Season 2 Overview and Release Schedule
My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 officially began streaming on Crunchyroll starting July 5, 2025. The second season is confirmed to consist of 12 episodes, continuing the narrative from the first season, which also had 12 episodes. Episodes of Season 2 are released weekly on Saturdays.

Episode 21 Plot Details
In Episode 21, the story centers around Marin’s efforts to gather a group for an upcoming cosplay project based on the horror game “Hitsugi” (Coffin). She extends an invitation to Sajuna Inui, also known as Juju, to join the group. Initially, Sajuna is hesitant, but her younger sister Shinju, a big fan of the game, enthusiastically persuades her to participate.
A significant development in the episode involves Wakana Gojo. Due to unforeseen circumstances, including train service issues, Gojo finds himself in a situation where he must spend the night at Marin’s home. This unexpected turn of events leads to humorous and potentially romantic misunderstandings, as Marin misinterprets Gojo’s intentions for the overnight stay. Meanwhile, observant Amane Himeno notes Akira Ogata’s apparent discomfort or dislike towards Marin, adding a layer of subtle interpersonal drama. Gojo’s obliviousness to these social cues, particularly when he purchases energy drinks in what turns out to be a section of a store with adult items, provides comedic relief.
