Sono Bisque Doll celebrates two years without news

It's been two years since the long-awaited sequel to "Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (My Dress-Up Darling)" was announced, but to date, there hasn't been any kind of official update on the project. Despite the excitement that this announcement generated among fans, CloverWorks, the studio in charge of producing the anime, has kept this promised sequel in complete silence, while they continue to work on other projects. In fact, next month a live-action series based on the work will premiere, which will even cover parts of the story beyond what the first season of the anime adapted.

The lack of information about the sequel has caused unease among fans of the franchise, who have been patient but are starting to lose hope. "Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru" has become one of the most beloved and popular works since its premiere in January 2022. The series not only stood out for the chemistry between its protagonists, but also for its high-quality animation and fresh approach to topics such as cosplay and costume making. The combination of an endearing narrative, moments of humor, and a considerable dose of fan service allowed the series to achieve great popularity both in Japan and abroad.

However, the delay in the production of the sequel has generated speculation and frustration in the community. Recently, a leak emerged that claimed that CloverWorks would resume the project after concluding its work on "The Elusive Samurai", a series currently on air. Although this news has brought some hope, there is no official confirmation from the studio, leaving fans in an uncertain situation.

Why is it taking so long?

One of the reasons behind the delay could be the workload CloverWorks faces, as the studio has been involved in multiple high-profile productions in recent years. The pace of work and the high demand for quality could be slowing down the production of the sequel to "Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru". Additionally, CloverWorks may want to make sure it maintains the level of animation that received so much praise during the first season, which could be taking longer than expected.

The prolonged delay in the production of the sequel could have negative effects on the franchise. One of the main risks is the loss of interest on the part of fans, especially in a market where each season brings new series that capture the attention of the public. Also, with the live-action premiere approaching, there's a chance that the fan focus will drift away from the animated version, especially if the live-action adaptation surpasses the series in terms of fidelity or story length.

It's crucial that CloverWorks or those responsible for the project offer some sort of official update as soon as possible, as keeping the audience in the dark only fuels uncertainty and speculation. Fans have proven to be loyal and patient, but two years without news is a considerable period for such a successful franchise.
