Plot of Episode 16: “Has All My Measurements Memorized”
In Episode 16, a significant plot point revolves around the school’s culture festival, where Marin Kitagawa is chosen to represent her class in a beauty pageant. The pageant has an unconventional rule: male students must cross-dress as women, and female students must cross-dress as men. This leads Marin to decide on cosplaying as Rei Kōgami. The episode delves into the creation of this new costume with Wakana Gojo, highlighting the intricate “in-show productions” that My Dress-Up Darling is known for. Wakana is shown watching the “NamaHos” anime, which features Rei as a popular character who is both the student council president and a secret host. Fans have lauded the exceptionally high quality and detail of these in-show elements.
