My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 Episode 9 recap

Marin pitched a cosplay group based on the horror game Coffin, trying to recruit Sajuna (Juju) to join. While initially resistant, Juju eventually caved in thanks to her younger sister Shinju’s enthusiasm.
At the cosplay meetup, Akira’s cold demeanor toward Marin became more apparent. She even admitted to Himeno and Gojo that she doesn’t want to be near Marin, though her reasons remain unclear. This planted seeds for potential drama later in the arc.
After the cosplay meetup, Marin invited Gojo over to play Coffin. When train service was unexpectedly shut down, Gojo had no choice but to stay the night. Cue nervous panic for him, and a blessing in disguise for Marin.
In a hilarious yet suggestive moment, Gojo grabbed energy drinks at a convenience store, declaring he didn’t plan to sleep that night. Unfortunately, Marin misread the situation, spotting “adult” products nearby and assuming Gojo was preparing for something much more intimate.
Episode 9 has been a perfect blend of comedy and romantic tension, with a hint of drama, and the stage is for an explosive My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 Episode 10.
