My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 8 brief recap

Titled "The Only Way I Can Think of to Express That Gratitude Is with Money", the episode began with Marin and Gojo at a cosplay event. The former went elsewhere to meet a friend while Gojo waited for someone he had contacted online for when looking to learn more about props in cosplay.

At Marin's end, she met up with Suzuka Itou and was to be joined by Amane Himeno. But the boy had been held by photographers who were wowed by his cosplay. A little worried at how much time it was taking, Amane was relieved to see Marin pop out from the queue of photographers.

Suzuka, for one, was stunned to learn that Amane was a male cosplaying a female character so well. The two girls managed to cut the line of photographers short and move on from the spot. The three then met with Suzuka's friend, Miyako, who was cosplaying a male character and looked nearly flawless.

At Gojo's end, the "Akira-san" he was to meet turned out to be a girl, and likewise, she thought Gojo was a girl. Nonetheless, they exchanged pleasantries, and the former taught Gojo about "Original Cosplays" and props. Soon, they were joined by Marin and company, who invited them to an afterparty at a nearby cafe.

Whilst munching on snacks, Miyako informed that another person, named Aoi, couldn't make it. Moreover, she and some others were to do a group cosplay, but work commitments had cropped up. This then led to Amane and Marin being roped in for the cosplay.

The episode drew to a close when Marin offered to bring in a fifth person to their group of six for the cosplay plan. Here, the individual in question was Sajuna Inui aka Juju, a familiar face in the franchise. But even so, there is one spot remaining, and judging by the faces present, it is all but certain that Akira will be the one to fill in.

My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 9 looks prepared to dive into the next major event for the lovable protagonist duo - the group of 6 cosplay photoshoot. The idea began with Amane Himeno volunteering to cover for one of its members, and in the process, Marin was roped in.

To add on, the blonde opened the doors for the return of Sajuna Inui, aka Juju, a well-loved character from the first season. Moody, but great at what she does, Juju will likely play a big part in My Dress-Up Darling season 2 episode 9. Finally, even with all who opted in, there seems to be one more spot to fill.

Considering Akira's presence and knowledge in cosplay props, she is the best option.
