Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room – or rather, the Marin in the room. We're all wondering the same thing: Do Wakana Gojo and Marin Kitagawa *actually* kiss in My Dress-Up Darling?
It's the burning question that keeps us up at night, right? Like trying to remember if you turned off the stove before leaving the house – except way more important, obviously.
The Teasing Game: Almost But Not Quite
Let's be real, the show loves to play with us. There are countless moments that feel like they're *just* about to kiss.
We're talking heart-stopping, hold-your-breath, reach-for-the-remote-to-pause-but-then-don't-because-you-can't-miss-it level tension. You know the feeling!
Cosplay Close Calls
Think about all those cosplay shoots! Gojo is always so close to Marin, carefully adjusting her wig or fixing her outfit. The air practically crackles with unspoken feelings.
It's like watching two magnets slowly inch closer, knowing they're destined to connect. Except these magnets are teenagers dressed as anime characters, and the connection is…complicated.
And let's not forget that time Gojo was measuring Marin! I mean, come on! The tension was thicker than Marin's perfectly styled eyelashes.
The "Almost" Moments: Our Hopes Dashed (For Now!)
There have been so many opportunities for a kiss. A quiet moment after a successful cosplay. A shared laugh over a silly mistake. Even just a simple "thank you."
But each time, something happens! A phone rings. A friend interrupts. A rogue mosquito flies by. It's like the universe is conspiring to keep their lips apart.
It's frustrating, yes! But isn't that part of what makes the show so good? It's the anticipation, the "will they, won't they" that keeps us glued to our screens.
So, The Verdict?
As of right now, no. There isn't an explicit kiss in the anime (at least, not yet!).
But don't despair! The manga, which the anime is based on, is still ongoing. There's plenty of time for Gojo and Marin to finally lock lips.
Think of it like your favorite pizza is still baking in the oven. You know it's going to be amazing, you just have to be patient and let it cook!
Why We're Okay With It (For Now)
Even without a kiss, My Dress-Up Darling is still a fantastic show. It's about more than just romance.
It's about friendship, passion, and finding your place in the world. Gojo and Marin's connection is special, even if it's not *always* romantic in the traditional sense.
Plus, the lack of a kiss just makes us want it even more, right? The suspense is killing us, but it's also kind of fun!
In the meantime, we'll just have to keep re-watching those almost-kiss moments and dreaming of what might be.
And who knows, maybe Season 2 will finally deliver the smooch we've all been waiting for! Fingers crossed!
Just imagine the possibilities! A romantic confession followed by a passionate kiss under the cherry blossoms. Or a spontaneous, impulsive kiss after a particularly successful cosplay event. The scenarios are endless!
Until then, let's appreciate the journey and enjoy the adorable awkwardness of Gojo and Marin's budding relationship. It's a beautiful thing to watch unfold!
