About the Series
2.5 Dimensional Seduction is a romantic comedy manga written and illustrated by Yu Hashimoto. The story follows Masamune Okumura, a second-year high school student who serves as the sole member and president of his school's Manga Research Club.
Adamant about his declaration that he has no interest in real 3D girls and only loves the fictional 2D anime character Liliel, Okumura's quiet life changes drastically when a first-year student named Lilysa Amano joins the club. Lilysa shares a deep passion for Liliel and aims to cosplay as her.
Impressed by Lilysa's dedication, Okumura agrees to become her official cosplay photographer. Together with a growing group of allies and fellow cosplayers, they navigate local events, costume crafting, photo techniques, and fierce rivalries.
