My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 8 release date and time, where to watch, and more

My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 8 is set to air on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at 12 am JST, as per the anime's official website. CloverWorks has returned once again with this fan-favorite series, much to the excitement of viewers. The first season was a major success, and the studio answered fans' pleas for another installment with the much-awaited second season.

Episode 7 witnessed Marin face a bit of a problem - weight gain. All the nutritious and balanced meals at Gojo’s were benefiting her, but the “breakfasts” given to her were becoming a midnight snack, and that was the culprit.

Anyhow, she had time to whip herself back into shape, and this she would. She also purchased an expensive DSLR for better images, and the stage is thus set for the upcoming installment - a cosplay event, expected in My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 8.

Titled Capture Those Delicious Memories!, the episode began with Marin stumbling upon the realization that she had gained weight. It was her hairdresser who pointed it out, followed by her modelling manager. Not entirely believing it, she rushed home to confirm her suspicions through her outfits.

True to it, she had indeed packed on a few pounds. The next day at school, she told her friends about it, and they seemed to agree as well. During recess, she confided in Gojo about it. He, too, began to wonder how it happened, given that the meals she ate at his place were balanced and nutritious.

Then the real reason was uncovered - Marin was eating the "breakfast" he would give her the same night. Moving on, she asked the boy to join her after school for shopping. They eventually ended up in a park, and Marin stunned Gojo by revealing that she bought a brand new DLSR, an expensive one at that.

She was able to make the purchase by putting in extra shifts at work and being careful about her money. To trial it, she asked Gojo to photograph her in her new hairstyle and the loose socks she had bought. The results were nothing short of stunning.

After a brief photography session, Marin asked to drop by Gojo's as there was something she needed to do, which was to take a beautiful shot of Gojo's grandfather- someone she had grown quite close to. By the episode's end, Marin revealed an upcoming cosplay that she was excited about.

She urged Gojo to cosplay in the event, and the boy was flustered at the idea but offered help to assemble her outfit. Marin also mentioned that Amana Himeno would be at the event, dressed as another hugely popular character. From past experience, his rendition would be incredibly accurate.

What to expect from My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 8? (speculative)

My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 8 looks set to dive into the next thing for Marin and Gojo - the upcoming cosplay event. This presents another opportunity for Marin to do what she loves. Whether she chooses an older outfit or goes with something new, that is yet to be seen.

But rest assured, photographs of her will now look better and sharper, thanks to the DSLR. Again, from what was mentioned in episode 7, My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 8 may see the return of Amane Himeno and his superb cosplays.

It is possible that he once more plays teacher and gives the protagonist pair something new to consider for cosplay.
