Against all odds, Wakana Gojou completed the costume of Shizuku from "Slippery Girls 2". Marin Kitagawa is excited as she invites Wakana to come along to the cosplay event with her in "My Dress-Up Darling" Episode 5.

After the fitting and a small photo session, Marin, who is cosplaying Shizuku, will go to the cosplay event along with Wakana.

Will Marin be able to impress other cosplayers and enthusiasts at the event in "My Dress-Up Darling" Episode 5?

In Episode 4 of the anime series, Wakana was relieved after he got all of the materials needed for the costume, but then Marin informed him the event was in two weeks.

He was shocked as he rushed home to start working on the dress. However, after his grandfather, Kaoru hurt his back in a freak accident, Wakana had to take care of him and handle his business in his absence.

And that’s not all, he needed to prepare for the upcoming midterm exams.

“Wakana felt relieved just for a moment after they got all of the materials they needed for Marin’s cosplay, but then he's shocked to find out that he needs to finish the cosplay in two weeks. On top of that, his grandfather, Kaoru, hurts his back, so Wakana has to run the shop and he also has midterms. Wakana feels overwhelmed and gets depressed, wondering if he’ll ever actually become a kashirashi at this point,” the official synopsis of Episode 4 read, according to Crunchyroll.
