My Dress-Up Darling live-action was Compared to Adult JAV Parody for not being faithful

In 2024, My Dress-Up Darling live-action became a hot topic on social media after fans began comparing the official adaptation with an adult JAV parody that had been produced two years earlier.

The discussion quickly gained traction, especially among Japanese fans, who expressed disappointment with changes made in the live-action version. One of the most criticized moments was a scene adapted from episode two of the original anime and manga, where Marin Kitagawa appears wearing only a bikini. In the live-action, this scene was significantly altered, which led many fans to point out the contrast when compared side by side with the adult parody.

The unexpected popularity of the adult version ended up reaching AV actress Aimi Rika, who starred in the JAV adaptation produced by Deeps and released in 2022. After noticing the renewed attention in 2024, she commented on the situation through her official Twitter account.

“It seems a work from two years ago is getting attention. Thank you for finding it,” she wrote.

As seen in screenshots shared at the time, her post surpassed 16 million views, generating a massive wave of reactions. Many users praised her bright smile, others commented that she genuinely looked like a gyaru, and several viewers highlighted her performance in the adult film. Throughout the replies, Aimi Rika consistently thanked fans for their supportive comments.

Beyond the renewed discussion surrounding My Dress-Up Darling live-action, Aimi Rika was already known in 2024 for actively engaging with fans. She frequently shared photos, including cosplay images such as one inspired by Emilia, and also ran a YouTube channel where she hosted live streams while playing games.
