My Dress-Up Darling (2022) s01e01 Episode Script

1
Beautiful, isn't it?
We made these Hina dolls, you know.
Isn't that amazing?
Yes, it's amazing.
Amazingly beautiful.
It's the most beautiful thing
in the world.
Wakana, you can also be like me
if you train hard.
It's creepy!
What?
Why, Wakana?
Why do you like girl dolls
even though you're a boy?
I hate you, Wakana!
Good morning.
You're beautiful today, too.
GOJO DOLLS
TATEMATSU
Good morning, Grandpa.
Hey. Good morning, Wakana.
Wakana, you stayed up late again
last night, didn't you?
Did you get enough sleep?
I was doing good last night, so
My brush ran so smoothly
that I could make a few faces.
But I'm still nowhere good
compared to you.
Come on, how many years
do you think I've been doing this?
-Forty-seven?
-Forty-eight!
-Let's dig in.
-Let's dig in.
Even though you still can't make the face,
it's still great you can make the clothes.
That's all I can do.
There's still a lot I can't do.
You don't need to rush things.
It's okay to take it slowly.
You're still a high school student.
Right.
By the way,
now that you're in high school,
have you made some friends?
Hey. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
What's that out of the blue?
I mean, you've only played with dolls
back in primary and middle school, right?
Of course, it makes me wonder
if you actually have friends.
Of course, I have some!
It's just that everyone
has club activities
so our schedules never meet.
It's just that, really.
Is that so? That's a relief, then.
I see. That's great.
GOJO DOLLS
I'm off.
Take care now.
Okay.
-I really want to skip class.
-You'll get in trouble again.
Will we make it?
What's up?
I'm sorry!
I got the wrong guy!
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
I
still haven't made any friends
even in high school.
I mean, what can I do about it?
My dream is to become a Hina doll artisan.
That's why my hobby is
practicing how to make a Hina doll's face,
appreciating it,
-and talking to it.
-You look beautiful as always.
-I can't talk to everyone like this.
-Now where should we start?
Did you watch episode six yesterday?
Jiretsu?
It was really good!
The art was really awesome too!
You know, about the tournament
the other day
You mean the voice actor?
Hold on, I'm lost.
The message was left on read.
What I like is very different
compared to everyone else's.
-What's up?
-What's up?
That's why, if I joined them,
I would disturb the balance,
and absolutely make them feel
very uncomfortable.
It's better
if I don't exist.
Hey, wait
Oh, my god!
-I'm sorry, Marin! Are you okay?
-Oh, my. I'm sorry.
-Are you okay?
-I'm fine, at least.
I'm sorry!
Well
Gojo!
Kitagawa!
Oh, well
Are you okay?
Yes!
Oh, that's
What?
There's something on your arm.
What is this?
A wound?
It doesn't look like one, though.
This one is an absolutely
jolly, good fellow
What the heck did I just say?
I see.
That's cool, then.
Marin, are you okay?
I think I broke a bone or two!
Liar!
The ink
It's still in my hand.
That was surprising.
It was the first time
I ever talked to her.
Kitagawa
She's really cheerful,
has a lot of friends,
and is always in the center of the circle.
She lives in a different world
compared to me.
You know, yesterday after school
Oh, my. We're going to talk about that?
It's rare for you to tag along
with one of us after school, Marin.
Usually, you're always long gone.
She tagged along after I mentioned
my salon model part-time.
I also wanted a haircut.
Part-time job, huh?
Then there was this guy waiting for Marin,
even though
he was already done with his hair!
Gosh. Just go home, please.
How did he look?
Pretty hot.
When we were about to go home,
he came to us.
He was probably waiting
for a chance to talk to you girls.
Hey, that's some sort of thing
from an anime series, right?
Man, you're really an otaku!
And you aren't one.
And then she left after saying that.
For real? That's an instant kill for him!
That's harsh.
In the end, all he did after that
was stand still, dumbfounded.
You said he was pretty hot,
so wouldn't that be a waste?
Even when we call out to you,
you always give a cold response, Marin.
I don't care about his looks.
I can't stand such a guy.
Also, he ought to know that
I wear accessories because I like them.
Would you just let someone
make fun of things you like?
-That's it.
-That's it.
Also, he's so lame for referring
to Shion as "some sort of thing!"
-Oh, my! Here goes Marin's love for Shion!
-I told you, we don't know that topic
Even though we're in the same class,
there's someone who lives in a world
that's the complete opposite of mine.
A world that accepts me for who I am
It must be easy to live.
Really?
You'll do it for us again?
Yes, sure.
Man, you're a lifesaver!
Come on, at least do it
for today, will you?
What?
But he's okay with it, and I don't want
to be late for my part-time job, either.
I'll leave it to you, then, Gojo!
Hey!
Sorry, Gojo.
I'll treat you to juice next time.
To be honest,
it's difficult to do it all alone.
But it's a lot better than being awkward
when I can't be part
of their conversation.
I won't have any topics
at the ready if that happens.
It will be tiring if I stay silent too.
Let's finish it quickly so I can go home.
Kitagawa? Did she forget something?
What?
No
Well
What are you doing?
As you can see, I'm cleaning up.
It's my turn this week,
but I went to the toilet first.
What? You're doing it?
Well, yes. That should be obvious.
Hey, where are the others?
Oh, they've gone ahead.
For their part-time job, if I recall.
Really? All of them?
Yes.
Gojo.
Aren't you being forced into doing this?
I guess.
"I guess"?
You're doing it despite knowing that?
-Don't you actually hate it?
-Well, to some degree.
Right?
Did you tell them that?
No.
But they said that I'm reliable.
So I guess that's fine.
You're not reliable,
you're just being used by them.
Isn't it wrong to do whatever
they say when you hate it?
Or rather, absolutely
don't do it for your sake.
You have to speak your mind for yourself.
GOJO DOLLS
Oh, god!
Hey. Are you okay?
Sorry. I cut my finger again.
Be careful, will you?
Well, do we still have Band-Aids?
Wait there, okay?
Thank you.
It's already been a few days since then.
You have to speak your mind for yourself.
But I still can't forget
what she said to me.
Her words were right on the money.
I've been suppressing my feelings
for a long time.
The truth is,
even at that time
What the
Here, use this.
Grandpa, the sewing machine
is not working.
What?
It's already a relic, after all.
It could break anytime now.
I guess it's time to buy a new one.
I wanted to do it
until I reached the best part, though.
Oh, right.
DRESSMAKING ANTEROOM
It's so easy!
I'm glad there's no Handicraft Club.
There's no one coming here after school,
so I can do it boldly like this.
And I can take this with me.
I'll sew you back today.
Be patient, okay?
Kitagawa?
I'm sorry! Are you okay? You didn't
Oh, shoot.
Look at what you've been hiding.
I'm so done for.
Awesome!
So you can use the sewing machine, Gojo?
What?
The sewing machine!
How can you use that?
We don't have Home Economics here, right?
Oh, well
My family makes and sells Hina dolls,
so I've been taught
how to do it ever since I was a kid.
Family tradition? No wonder, then!
Hey. Is that a Hina doll?
Show it to me!
Here you go.
It's so pretty.
Her eyes
are sparkling.
It's the first time
someone ever praised me
for doing what I like!
Did you make this Hina doll?
No, it's not me.
My grandpa made this one.
I can only make the clothes.
You can make clothes?
Well, yes.
Really?
Yes.
But I can only make the clothes,
nothing else.
Well
Could you look the other way?
Yes, ma'am!
What's going on here?
Why is she suddenly
taking off her clothes?
What's with that rustling sound?
What is that sound?
Gojo.
Yes?
What is it?
Turn around now.
But
Just do it.
It's still a work in progress.
But, well
This is
Well
What do you think?
What?
What do I think?
What kind of outfit is that?
Well
I made that outfit, sort of
You're joking, right?
Are you messing with me?
What? I'm not messing with you.
I put my everything into making this.
Yes, but isn't it way too different?
Even if you're trying to screw it up
on purpose, it can't be this bad!
That's a cloth that needs lining, right?
Lining? What's that?
You didn't even know that?
Unbelievable!
Excuse me.
I knew it.
You didn't do any backstitch,
and it's wrinkling.
There's no lower thread, either!
You can't even sew it properly like this!
You forgot about the margin
for the seam too, right?
Jeez. Why did you change the dial here?
Also
I'm sorry for getting carried away!
Please kill me!
Wait. What? What are you doing? Stop it!
How much do I have to pay you?
It's fine! You don't have to!
I'm not angry! Not at all!
Anyway, can you lift your head up?
Well, you see
I made this because I wanted to cosplay!
Cosplay?
Yes! Cosplay!
You know,
I really want to dress as characters
from a manga, anime, or game!
After all,
cosplay is about expressing
your thoughts toward your stan!
Amazing, right? Isn't that
the ultimate form of love?
Are you listening, Gojo?
Yes, I'm sorry! I'm all ears, ma'am!
Also
I don't have a sewing machine at home,
so I'm doing it here after school.
But, well, as you can see,
it looks so awful,
and none of my friends
are really good at sewing.
Gojo!
Can you make cosplay clothes for me?
What?
If you don't want to,
you can always say no.
You know, I can't do it by myself.
But I really want to.
I want to become Shizuku
because I love her!
Please, Gojo!
Awesome!
So you can use the sewing machine, Gojo?
It's so pretty.
Would you just let someone
make fun of things you like?
You have to speak your mind for yourself.
Understood.
I've never made clothes for a person,
so I don't know how it will turn out.
But I'll do my best!
Does that mean
you will make me some?
Yes.
Really?
Yes.
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Shizuku!
I will become Shizuku!
Even though we're in the same class,
there's someone who lives in a world
that's the complete opposite of mine.
I can't believe that
I made such a promise to her.
It's really surprising.
Gosh. I'm in tears now.
Oh, though it's not much,
I'll do whatever I can to help!
Okay.
You really want to become like her, huh?
Yes! Because she's so precious!
Shizuku Kuroe
from St. Slimy Girls' Academy:
Madame's Shameless Miracle Life
in the Disgraceful Club 2, that is!
What did you say?
