Young Gangan Magazine releases chapters of My Dress-Up Darling in Japan twice-monthly since it started serialization on January 19, 2018. The 7th collected volume will release in Japan on April 24, with over 2 million copies of the series printed (physically) and sold (digitally). Square Enix releases the manga series in English, with the 4th volume releasing on June 8. Square Enix describes the first volume as such:

 

Traumatized by a childhood incident with a friend who took exception to his love of traditional dolls, doll-artisan hopeful Wakana Gojou passes his days as a loner, finding solace in the home ec room at his high school. To Wakana, people like beautiful Marin Kitagawa, a trendy girl who’s always surrounded by a throng of friends, is practically an alien from another world. But when cheerful Marin–never one to be shy–spots Wakana sewing away one day after school, she barges in with the aim of roping her quiet classmante into her secret hobby: cosplay! Will Wakana’s wounded heart be able to handle the invasion from this sexy alien?!
