Wow... Ain't they beauties?
2
Your ol' gramps and his friends made these hina dolls.
3
Ain't that amazing?
4
Uh-huh. Wow...
5
They're so pretty.
6
She's the most beautiful thing in the world...
7
With a little bit of practice, you'll be just like your Gramps.
8
That's so creepy!
9
Why do you like girls' dolls, Wacchan? You're a boy.
10
I hate you, Wacchan!
11
Morning. You're still as beautiful as ever.

My Dress-Up Darling Episode 1 Someone Who Lives in the Exact Opposite World as Me Gojo Dolls Tatematsu Morning, Gramps.
13
Morning, Wakana.
14
Wakana, you were working late again last night, weren't you?
15
Are you getting enough sleep?
16
Well... I was just on a roll, so I kept going.
17
My brush just wouldn't stop and I ended up painting a handful of them.
18
Still, I can't get them perfect like you, Gramps.
19
How many years do you think I've been doing this?
20
Hm... 47? 48!
21
Let's eat. Let's eat.
22
Even if you haven't mastered the faces yet, you can make their costumes, and that's plenty impressive.
23
That's all I'm good at, though.
24
I've still got lots to learn.
25
No need to hurry.
26
Just keep at it.
27
You're still in school.
28
Yeah... By the way...
29
Have you made any friends now that you're in high school?
30
You okay? I'm fine... Wait.
31
Where'd this come from?
32
Well, I mean...
33
You spent all your time messing with dolls throughout grade and middle school.
34
I started wondering if you actually had any friends.
35
Y-Yeah, of course I have friends!
36
Lots of 'em. I've always had friends.
37
They're all busy with clubs, so our schedules never line up.
38
That's all.
39
Really. I see.
40
Welp, I definitely feel better.
41
I see, I see.
42
That's great.
43
Gojo Dolls I'm heading out.
44
Yup. Be careful.
45
I will. Man, I hate first period.
46
Seriously. We're totally gonna get yelled at.
47
Heyo! M-My bad!
48
I thought you were someone else!
49
Sorry, Gramps.
50
I still... haven't made a single friend, even in high school.
51
How can I, anyway?
52
My dream is to be a kashirashi for hina dolls.
53
Meaning, my hobbies are...
54
Creating hina dolls and honing my craft.
55
Appreciating my work.
56
You're as lovely as ever.
57
And talking to said work.
58
And so, I have nothing to talk about with other people!
59
Where should we start today?
60
Did you see episode 6 yesterday?
61
Of Chiretsu?
62
Dude, it was epic!
63
The animation was godlike!
64
At the tournament the other day, our coach...
65
That voice actor was just...
66
Wait, what?
67
I have no idea what that means!
68
What I like is so different from everyone else...
69
Heyo. Hey. I'd just make things super awkward and make everyone feel uneasy around me.
70
It'd be better...
71
if I just wasn't here...
72
Whoa, wait!
73
That... hurt!
74
My bad, Marin!
75
Yikes, sorry.
76
Are you okay?!
77
You okay? Ow...
78
Yeah, I think I'm fine...
79
Oh, sorry. Um...
80
Gojo-kun. K-Kitagawa-san!
81
U-Uh, um...
82
You good? Y-Yes!
83
Oh, hey. You've got something on you.
84
What the heck is this?
85
It's not like a cut... right?
86
This is, um... This is fine.
87
What's fine, exactly?!
88
Really? That's good, then.
89
You good, Marin?
90
Definitely broke some bones on that landing.
91
Oh, please.
92
Ink... I had no idea I still had some on me.
93
Man, that startled me...
94
That's the first time I've ever talked to her.
95
Kitagawa-san.
96
She's super cheerful, has a lot of friends, and is always the center of attention.
97
She lives in a completely different world than as me.
98
So, after school yesterday...
99
Ugh. Are you really going to bring that up?
100
Wow, you actually got Marin to hang out with you after school?
101
She always runs off somewhere.
102
She had to go to a hair modeling gig, so I went with her.
103
And I wanted a haircut.
104
Ah, so it was work.
105
But then, this dude totally waited on Marin even though his hair was done ages ago.
106
My dude, just go home.
107
Was he cute, though?
108
He was actually pretty hot.
109
He finally came up to us as we were about to leave.
110
I'm sure he was just trying to start up a conversation, but...
111
Hey, isn't that thing from some anime?
112
Wow, you're a total nerd.
113
Talk about lame.
114
The only thing that's lame here is you.
115
And then, she never looked back.
116
Seriously? Brutal.
117
Ouch. He looked like his soul had left his body!
118
I mean... If the guy was hot, maybe you should've given him a chance.
119
Marin's basically an ice queen whenever anyone tries to hit on her, anyway.
120
Like I care about how hot he was.
121
I just can't deal with guys like him.
122
I mean, he clearly knew it was something I liked before he opened his mouth.
123
You just don't go making fun of things people clearly like.
124
Right? For sure.
125
Also... how dare he call Shion-tan "that thing"?!
126
Here we go...
127
Her deep love for Shion-tan.
128
Look, we don't understand when you talk about this stuff, either.
129
Right here in this classroom...
130
There's someone who lives in the exact opposite world as me.
131
Sakuya-kun Mirai-chan Shion-tan She lives in a world where she's accepted for who she is.
132
It must be...
133
really comfortable in that world.
134
For real?! You'll do it again?
135
Yeah, sure.
136
You're a lifesaver!
137
Come on. You really should do it today.
138
Aw, but Gojo says he'll do it.
139
And I don't wanna be late for work.
140
Thanks, Gojo!
141
See you later!
142
Hey! Sorry, Gojo.
143
I'll buy you something to drink sometime.
144
Honestly, doing this all on my own is pretty rough.
145
But... This is way better than me failing at conversations and making things awkward.
146
I'm sure they wouldn't know what to talk about with me around.
147
And I'd make them uncomfortable if I just stood around quietly.
148
I'm just gonna hurry and finish up so I can go home.
149
It's Kitagawa-san.
150
I wonder if she forgot something.
151
What? Huh? Uh, nothing...
152
Um, what are you doing?
153
It's pretty obvious, isn't it?
154
I'm cleaning.
155
I'm late 'cause I had to go to the bathroom, but I'm on cleaning duty this week.
156
Huh?! Y-You're actually going to clean?
157
Of course I am.
158
Why wouldn't I?
159
Hey, where's everyone else?
160
Oh, they went home.
161
I guess they had work.
162
Seriously? All of them?
163
Yes... Gojo-kun, are they taking advantage of you?
164
I guess so.
165
You guess so?!
166
And you're still doing this?
167
You don't mind?!
168
I mean... I sort of do...
169
Of course you would.
170
Did you tell them that?
171
No... But they said that I was reliable, so I thought it was okay.
172
That's not being reliable.
173
They're just using you.
174
You shouldn't agree to things you don't wanna do.
175
No, really. You need to think about yourself more.
176
You need to speak up about how you're feeling, for your own sake.
177
Gojo Dolls Ow!
178
Hey, what happened? You okay?
179
Oh... Sorry.
180
I cut my finger again.
181
You gotta be careful!
182
I wonder if we have any bandages left.
183
You just sit tight.
184
Thanks... It's been days...
185
You need to speak up about how you're feeling, for your own sake.
186
...but her words are still in my head.
187
She saw right through me.
188
I've always suppressed my feelings.
189
Even... Back then...
190
Huh? Here. Slap this on there.
191
Gramps, the sewing machine's not working.
192
Well, it's pretty much an antique.
193
It was on its last leg.
194
I guess it's time to buy a new one.
195
I wish I'd gotten to a good stopping point, at least.
196
Oh, I know.
197
Sewing Practice Room It's so easy to use.
198
Thank goodness we don't have an Arts and Crafts Club...
199
It's not like anyone's gonna come here after school, so I won't have to hide.
200
And I can bring you.
201
I'll sew your outfit for you today.
202
Just you wait.
203
K-Kitagawa-san!
204
I'm so sorry! Are you okay?
205
Are you hurt— Shit...
206
What the hell?
207
It's all over...
208
That's so awesome!
209
You know how to use a sewing machine, Gojo-kun?
210
Huh? The sewing machine!
211
How do you know how to use one? We don't have home ec as an elective!
212
Uh... Um...
213
My family runs a hina doll shop.
214
So... I learned how to use one as a kid.
215
Oh, that's why?! No wonder!
216
Hey, is that a hina doll?
217
Lemme see! Uh... Um...
218
Here you go.
219
Look at this hottie.
220
Her eyes are sparkling.
221
This is the first time...
222
This is the first time someone's complimented...
223
The first time someone complimented something I love.
224
Did you make this hina doll, Gojo-kun?
225
Uh, no, I didn't.
226
My gramps made her.
227
I-I still only know how to make their clothes.
228
You can make clothes?
229
Um, yes. For real?
230
Yes. I mean, I just sew them together, so it's not a big deal— Hey...
231
Could you look the other way?
232
Yes, ma'am!
233
Wha—Wh-Wh-Wh-What's going on?!
234
What's happening?!
235
Why is she undressing?!
236
Wait. Why do I hear a rustling sound?
237
What is this sound?!
238
Gojo-kun. Yes, ma'am!
239
H-How can I help you?
240
Look at me.
241
But... It's okay. Just look.
242
I'm still not done with it.
243
It's totally not done yet, but, um...
244
What do you think?
245
Huh? Um, what do you mean?
246
What exactly are you wearing?
247
Well... I'm, uh, trying to make that outfit... so, yeah.
248
At least I'm trying to.
249
You're joking, right?
250
Huh? I'm totally serious.
251
I worked really hard on this.
252
But, I mean...
253
It doesn't look like this at all!
254
No one could suck this bad even if they tried!
255
Huh?! That material needs a lining, doesn't it?
256
Lining... What?
257
You don't even know that?!
258
Unbelievable.
259
Please excuse me.
260
I knew it. You haven't done any of the reverse stitching, and it's wrinkled!
261
And there's no bobbin thread!
262
You can hardly even call this sewing.
263
I bet you forgot your seam allowance, too!
264
Oh, come on!
265
Why did you change the tension dial here?!
266
And— I-I'm so sorry, I went way too far!
267
Please, just kill me now!
268
Wait, what?!
269
What are you even doing?! Quit it!
270
H-H-How much should I pay you?
271
Nothing! I don't want any!
272
I'm not mad!
273
Not even a little!
274
But seriously, Gojo-kun, could you look up?
275
Um... You see...
276
I made this because I wanted to cosplay!
277
Cosplay? Yup! Cosplay!
278
I want to wear the same things as manga, anime, and game characters!
279
Cosplaying allows you express just how much you love your faves!
280
Isn't that awesome?!
281
It's basically...
282
the ultimate form of love!
283
Are you listening, Gojo-kun?
284
Yes! I'm sorry! I'm absolutely listening! I'm sorry!
285
And... I don't have a sewing machine at home, so I was working on this here after school.
286
But, well...
287
As you can see, it's not in the best shape, and I don't know anyone who's good at sewing.
288
Gojo-kun! Will you make me a cosplay outfit?
289
Huh? If you can't...
290
You can just tell me you can't.
291
You see... I can't do much more on my own.
292
But Shizuku-tan means so much to me...
293
She means so much to me, so I want to become her, no matter what!
294
Please, Gojo-kun!
295
That's so awesome!
296
You know how to use a sewing machine, Gojo-kun?
297
Look at this hottie.
298
You just don't go making fun of things people clearly like.
299
You need to speak up about how you're feeling, for your own sake.
300
All right. I've never made clothes for an actual person before, so I'm not sure how well it'll go, but I'll do everything I can.
301
You mean...
302
You'll do it?
303
Yes. For real?
304
Yes. Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
305
Yay! Shizuku-tan!
306
Shizuku-tan!
307
Now I can be Shizuku-tan!
308
Right here in this classroom...
309
There's someone who lives in the exact opposite world as me.
310
I never thought...
311
I'd make a promise like this with someone like that.
312
I'm seriously crying right now.
313
Oh! But I'll do everything I can!
314
Not that I can do much!
315
Sure. I guess you really want to be this person.
316
Yup! I mean, she's just too precious for words!
317
Shizuku Kuroe-tan from Saint Slippery's Academy for Girls— The Young Ladies of the Humiliation Club: Debauched Miracle Life 2!

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
This lesson uses a scene from a popular anime to help you practice everyday conversational English, focusing on natural speech patterns, casual dialogue, and emotional expression. You'll work on understanding and imitating the tone of characters sharing personal stories, from heartfelt moments with family to awkward interactions at school.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Learn
- Ain't they beauties? – A casual way to say "Aren't they beautiful?" (common in informal speech)
- On a roll – To be in a period of success or productivity (e.g., "I was on a roll, so I kept painting")
- Mastered – To become very skilled at something (e.g., "I haven't mastered the faces yet")
- First period – The first class of the school day (a common term in student life)
- My bad – A casual apology meaning "My mistake" (used in friendly or informal settings)
- Headed out – To leave a place (e.g., "I'm heading out" instead of "I'm leaving")
Practice Tips for Shadowing This Video
Shadowing (or shadow speech) is a great way to improve your pronunciation and fluency. Here's how to apply it to this video:
- Match the speed: The dialogue has a mix of slow, heartfelt moments (like Wakana talking to his grandfather) and faster, casual exchanges (like the "Heyo!" scene). Start by pausing after each line, then try shadowing at half speed before moving to full speed. A shadowing app can help you adjust the pace.
- Focus on tone: Notice how Wakana's voice softens when he admits he hasn't made friends ("I still... haven't made a single friend"). Imitate the emotional weight in his speech—this will help you convey feelings in English more naturally.
- Repeat casual phrases: Phrases like "My bad" and "headed out" are used in daily life. Shadow these lines multiple times to make them sound natural, not forced. Shadowspeak practice with these phrases will make your conversations feel more native.
- Learn from pauses: Wakana often pauses when he's nervous ("Y-Yeah, of course I have friends!"). Copy these pauses to sound more authentic in your own speech—pauses can show hesitation or thoughtfulness, just like in real life.
By practicing with this video, you'll not only learn useful vocabulary but also how to speak English with the right tone and rhythm. Learn English with YouTube content like this makes practice fun and relatable!
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
