This milestone means that since the debut of the My Dress-Up Darling anime in January of this year over 4 million copies of the manga have been printed (physically) and sold (digitally), with 2 million copies of those being since the anime ended in March. Over half of the entire manga’s sales have been since the adaptation was broadcast.
RELATED: My Dress-Up Darling Anime Sequel Announced to Be In Production
The My Dress-Up Darling TV anime aired from January 9, 2022, to March 27, 2022, and was directed by Keisuke Shinohara and with animation produced at CloverWorks. A sequel to the anime is currently in production. The series streamed weekly right here on Crunchyroll, which describes the series as such:
Wakana Gojo is a high school boy who wants to become a kashirashi–a master craftsman who makes traditional Japanese Hina dolls. Though he’s gung-ho about the craft, he knows nothing about the latest trends, and has a hard time fitting in with his class. The popular kids–especially one girl, Marin Kitagawa–seem like they live in a completely different world. That all changes one day, when she shares an unexpected secret with him, and their completely different worlds collide.
