Temple of Ranma's Sailor Senshi Seifuku

I'm using "lovey-dovey" in a title, but I'm unsure if I only capitalize the L, or both the L and the D.

Well, I believe "Lovey-dovey" is the correct way to write it. Unless you have a reason to capitalize both?

I just don't know if the hyphen changes things or not. Particularly, since having them both capitalized is more visually appealing to me.

It's your chapter, so you can do whatever you want with the title. If it were my title I probably wouldn't use "lovey-dovey" -- I'd try to find a one word synonym. But were it necessary, just capitalizing the "L" is probably the way to go.

I couldn't think of a better play on "the ugly bug ball." I've got a major scene with love-eating, bug-like creatures in a ballroom and the only other word I could think of, that's nowhere near as applicable aside from its number of syllables, is "mushy."

"Lovestruck"? "Moonstruck"?

The connotations don't match as well. Sort of. Lovey-dovey isn't an exact match for the event, but the mood is a lot closer than the kind of behavior that comes to mind when I think of lovestruck and moonstruck.

Not as far as i can recall. But as it is a title you can effectively do as you wish. If written as a sentence on its own in regular text, capital L, not capital d.

I would suggest, go with what looks better to you.
