Have you ever wondered how important Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru ( My Dress-Up Darling ) became ? Released during the Winter-2022 (January-March) season , fans like to say that this series ended up “ overshadowing big productions ” like Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen and Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season , and although this It lends itself to discussion, it cannot be denied that the story of Marin Kitagawa was definitely a turning point within the industry .
In the same way that Kirito from Sword Art Online became a benchmark for isekai (without being one, according to the strict sense of the word), Marin Kitagawa also became a benchmark for gal stories (also known as gyarus). ). Gals are teenage girls obsessed with every last detail of their beauty. They do makeup, do their hair and nails, buy a lot of clothes and accessories, dye their hair, tan, keep a slim figure, and wear a lot of flashy clothes.
In the past, Yukana Yame from Hajimete no Gal and Galko from Please Tell Me! Galko-chan were the referents of the gals in the anime, but Marin Kitagawa ended up taking that position . However, some consider that "this reign is in danger" now that more information has been revealed for the anime adaptation of the manga Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! ( Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi ), starring Minami Fuyuki , who is also a gal.
Minami Fuyuki is the protagonist Tsubasa's 16-year classmate at Kitami Hokuryo High School, being popular and talkative. She follows the gal subculture; she dyes her hair blonde, wears short skirts in winter, and refuses to wear gloves in winter so she can keep using her phone. She has a very caring personality and always tries to live up to the expectations of her classmates.
With a description and appearance like that, it was inevitable that fans would start calling her "the new Marin Kitagawa." Certainly the Marin story is taking a long time to come back and is allowing "competition to surface." With a new anime project announced almost a year ago, there has been no more news on the Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru ( My Dress-Up Darling ) sequel since then.
And regarding Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! ( Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi ), the series is being produced by the studio collaboration of SILVER LINK and Blade , while its premiere is scheduled for January 2024 in Japan . While these studios aren't in any way competing with CloverWorks , this production is certainly more likely to see a follow-up if it's moderately successful, unlike the projects the former A-1 Pictures subsidiary tends to do.
And if you're interested in the synopsis for Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! , is described as follows:
- Tsubasa Natsukawa has just moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido, in the dead of winter. Since she doesn't realize how far the cities are in the countryside, she gets out of the taxi in the next city to her destination so she can see the surroundings of her house. But she is surprised when she learns that the "next town" is a three hour walk away. But she, too, meets a cute gyaru dosanko (born and raised in Hokkaido) named Minami Fuyuki, who braves minus-8 degree weather in the usual gyaru attire: short skirts and bare legs.
