As we have mentioned in previous articles, the story of “Sleep Doll Bisque wa Koi wo Suru (My dressing darling)” has drastically changed 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 defended the work and its current pace, saying that "it continues this way because that's how the Japanese want it to be." Certainly, most of the time, it's the opinion of Japanese fans that is taken into account when determining the direction of a story, but what do the Japanese think on this occasion?

Boneca Sono Bisque

After a successful appearance 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 cosplay she wants him to do next, she says she doesn't need that anymore.

All of this would have been resolved if the two of them had 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?

  • «Is this the attitude of a romantic comedy heroine towards the protagonist?».
  • «Since it has already been sold, it cannot be finalized?».
  • «Why did it end up like this? Instead of cosplaying and enjoying a romantic comedy, why didn't he just stick to that?».
  • «The plot is so bad it seems like a normal day».
  • «In romantic comedies, the ending is rarely good; the climax usually occurs early or midway through the story. "Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu" also ended badly.».
  • «The manga series “Nagatoro-san,” made by an erotic manga author, ended beautifully».
  • «Wouldn't it have been better to end the cultural festival? Wakana's friendship with her friends and the fact that she can talk to everyone thanks to Marin is a good ending. After that, there doesn't seem to be any interesting story.».
  • «What does it mean that rom-com anime becomes pointless, even in a solo story?».
  • «Manga series popular with women often leave men feeling discouraged, and the plot stagnates. I don't see the point in that.».
  • «I don't care if there are depressing plots, but it's been going on for a long time.».
  • «This manga makes me sad. The characters seem to have a great passion and love for cosplay, but in reality, the cosplay community seems to be full of hidden agendas.».
  • «But if the plot was always the same, you would get bored.».
  • «This is starting to be a case where it seems like the publisher has overtaken the author.».
  • «With female authors, there is concern that the main character might have a one-night stand with a new guy who suddenly appears, which would not happen with male authors.».
  • «The design hasn't changed either?».
  • «“Nagatoro-san,” an underrated work, was 100 times better than this one».
  • «Bad development is almost a tradition in romantic comedies. Although "Go-Toubun" ended horribly, it's still popular and has related merchandise. So this is nothing.».
  • «You criticize female romantic comedies, but men's work is also quite problematic.».
  • «Manga about sex workers is very entertaining».
  • «This manga really made the protagonist very unlikeable».
  • «High school love stories often revolve around cycles of getting close and breaking up, but no manga portrays this well. Most are stories of pure love that progress to marriage.».
  • «Romantic comedies tend to fall apart when they go on for too long, as it's difficult to maintain the protagonist as a relatable character while still falling in love with the heroine.».
  • «Gojou-kun is not a resource that should be monopolized by a girl as a “girl”.».
