So I just saw episode 1 of Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, and nothing wrong with the show it is fine, but tell me if I am the only one that feels this way, but it is My Dress Up Darling without the cosplay. It is almost the exact same show except for the cosplay and because it is for a younger audience, has more innocence and less sexual.

It doesn’t feel at all like that to me. The show seems a lot more like Teasing Master Takagi-san than it does My Dress-up Darling.

We're talking about two related but different genres - "The introvert has a relationship with the popular girl who has a surprising quirky side" anime and "The introvert is teased by someone who secretly likes him" anime.

I think the reason "Kubo Won't Let me be Invisible" is a bit confusing is that it can't make up its mind which genre it wants to belong to. When they're inside the classroom and sitting side by side it's more like Teasing Master (though not as good in my opinion). The scene where she gets him in trouble by getting him to draw attention to himself for example. When it's outside the classroom, it's more like the other genre. The shower scene for example.
