2.5 Dimensional Seduction anime is adapted from Yu Hashimoto’s manga series and follows the story of Masamune Okumura, a high school student who shows no interest in girls in real life. As the president of the manga club at his school, he is completely infatuated with a 2D manga character named Lilliel.

Despite his routine life, everything takes a turn when Ririsa (Lilysa), a new girl, becomes a part of his club. Masamune learns that Ririsa shares his love for cosplay, particularly for the character Lilliel, the same one he is obsessed with. This anime blurs the lines between 2D and 3D and revolves around an unconventional romantic comedy.
