Waifu Wednesday: Marin Kitagawa from My Dress-Up Darling

Marin Kitagawa My Dress-Up Darling

Welcome back to Waifu Wednesday, Niche Gamer’s column where we talk about characters, their appeal, and a little on their history.

It’s Waifu Wednesday! This week’s waifu is Marin Kitagawa from My Dress-Up Darling (Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru).

Marin is one of the main characters in the popular romance series My Dress-Up Darling, she’s a popular and beautiful cosplayer who befriends the gentle Wakana Gojou to help make outfits for her.

Marin is outgoing and flashy, sporting a light gal/gyaru style that contrasts with Gojou’s humble demeanor and style. Despite her style, Marin is shameless with her nerdy hobbies and frequently watches anime and plays video games to help inspire her cosplay passions.

A second season of My Dress-Up Darling premiered earlier this year as part of the Summer 2025 anime season. The manga released its final volume earlier this year as well. A live action adaptation premiered last year.

Feel free to share who your waifu is on our Twitter or Facebook and who knows, we might feature them in a regular Waifu Wednesday post!
