Tear Jerker / My Dress-Up Darling

Go To

  • Chapter 1: The series starts with the source of Gojo's trauma: a girl tells him to his face that his passion for Hina dolls is gross. His insecurity and self-imposed social isolation are understandable.
  • Chapter 8: Gojo falls into despair when he thinks he only has two weeks to complete Kitagawa's cosplay. To add fuel to his fire, his grandpa is in hospital and school tests are coming up.
  • Chapter 10: The normally cheerful and lively Kitagawa breaks down into sobbing apologies when she realizes how much Gojo has been overworking himself to complete her costume, because she didn't tell him he didn't have to rush things.
  • Chapter 43: Himeno Amano has quite the depressing backstory. After being bullied for his small stature and high voice as a child, he discovers a passion for crossdressing cosplay. Unfortunately, in college his girlfriend throws away his costumes after finds out about his hobby. It's no wonder Kitagawa cries upon learning of such a deep betrayal.
  • At the start of Chapter 76, Kitagawa is lying on her bed disappointed and depressed that nothing happened between her and Gojo the night before. She thinks back of the time she jokingly asked Gojo to date her, and how she wants to ask him for real now. Then she starts having Imagine Spots about Gojo rejecting her, to the point she breaks down crying at how plausible they feel.
  • Chapter 84: At the end of Coffin Meetup when Gojo is reassuring the scared Juju his pain points for the game are:
    • The flashback scene with Mila and her parents
    • The final wrap up scene of the dream sequence post explanation of Mila's past with her parents.
