As we have mentioned in previous articles, the story of “Sleep Doll Bisque wa Koi wo Suru (My dear dress up)” has changed drastically from a romantic comedy to an ongoing drama for much of the most recent story arc. In fact, This constant focus on a situation that could be resolved with a simple conversation has driven fans in the West to despair.who want the problem to be solved once and for all.

However, some have been defending the work and its current pace, saying that “it continues like this because that’s how the Japanese want it to be.” Of course, most of the time it’s the opinion of Japanese fans that is taken into consideration when defining the direction of a story, but what do the Japanese think on this occasion?

After a successful participation at Comiket during the Mandate of Heaven Arc, Marin Kitagawa received a job offer to become a professional cosplayer. (although the offer does not include Wakana Gojo's participation). On the other hand, Gojo inexplicably felt that he was losing Kitagawa (something difficult to explain, precisely because he still does not know about the offer they made to Kitagawa), causing a dark expression to appear on his face and he began to walk away from her.

In the most recent chapter, we finally get to see things come full circle, with Non-chan showing up at Gojo's house and asking for forgiveness for what he said. This finally motivated Gojo to do what he should have done several months ago. (many episodes ago): go talk to Marin directly. And that's where the latest viral scene comes in, because when Gojo asks Marin what the next cosplay she wants him to do will be, she says she doesn't need that anymore.

All of this would be resolved if the two of them actually talked about it, but that didn't happen. And this is where criticism from fans in the West has been placed, but what do the Japanese think?
