Japanese portal Myjitsu published an article noting that in social networks in Japan there has been criticism of the wide variety of artists who are making erotic illustrations of Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (My Dress-Up Darling), accusing that they are only taking advantage of the “temporary hype” of the series and that they are not “true fans”. According to the critics, this ends up attracting more “false fanatics”who are only interested in “desecrations” and not for the original material.
“A romantic comedy anime based on the theme of cosplay, “Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru” (Tokyo MX and other TV stations), began airing as of January 2022.
It has already become the most popular drama of the season, but some seem to be skeptical about the fan base behind it. The protagonist of the story is a high school boy, Wakana Gojou, who aspires to become a doll maker. While making costumes for hina dolls at school, he meets his classmate, Marin Kitagawa, a girl who is fond of cosplay. Marin, who is clumsy with her hands, asks Wakana to make her a cosplay costume, and her destiny begins to unfold.”.
“The heroine, Marin Kitagawa, has a flamboyant appearance, with blonde hair and piercings, and an innocent personality.
She is also a reading model and a popular girl in her class. Surprisingly, however, her hobbies are anime, games and manga.
He is a kind of “otaku-friendly gal” who treats even the shy Wakana with respect. No wonder the otakus in front of the screen are captivated by her“.
“In social networks, both in Japan and abroad, there has been an explosion of derivative illustrations (fan-arts) of Marin Kitagawa.demonstrating the overwhelming support she has garnered. However, as the exposure of Marin’s well-proportioned body is the highlight of the story, it gives the impression that there are many risqué illustrations amidst all this support.
Some of the creations only emphasize Marin’s sensuality, leaving many “true fans” in disbelief as to whether they really like the character and the work”
“Opinions on the matter can be read on social networks in Japan: “Illustrators who only do erotic visuals are repulsive!“; “It’s funny that all the crazy artists are doing something about Marin Kitagawa at the same time, I wonder if any of them have seen the anime or know the story“: y “I love that artists only do illustrations of what’s popular at the moment, they don’t even know the artwork or are fans of it“.
This kind of pointing out usually refers to artists just making visuals of what is popular at the moment, when another popular anime comes out, they will skip to that one.”.
“Often these artists are avoided by self-described “true fans” because they sometimes produce fan-arts that disrespect the original work, such as changing the personalities of the characters or adding erotic overtones much higher than they should. Apparently, just as there are these artists, there are also the people who follow them, who will forget about the series as soon as the trend changes”.
