I have read most of the Dress-Up Darling manga, but dropped it when I caught up to what was released at the time. I did see about the most recent developments, so I might have to hop back in and catch up. One of my complaints about the manga is that it went on such deep dives about the cosplaying details and techniques that it seemed to completely forget the main plot for entire chapters. Does the anime manage to smooth out this pacing to help keep the story moving?

The anime pacing was good from what I remember. I appreciated the deep dives of creating cosplay clothing without detracting from the romance.

Me: "Gojo, did you lose?"

Gojo: "Nah, I won."

That's good to hear. I liked the info as well, but felt like the balance was off in the manga.
