2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Episode 2 Recap

The start of the episode sees the arrival of Mikari Tachibana, a stunning supermodel, as a new transfer student at the school. Students quickly gather around her, requesting autographs. Surprisingly, she inquires about the presence of a manga club at the school. When a student asks about her interest in manga, she reveals her dislike for it.

At the manga club, Ririsa shares with Masamune the news of a new transfer student. She believes the supermodel would make a great cosplay partner. In their discussion, Masamune expresses his willingness to take Ririsa’s cosplay photos, which deeply touches her.

Despite previously believing that she had pressured Masamune into taking photos of her, Ririsa has since discovered the truth and now willingly asks the boy to take more pictures of her. Without her cosplay items, she improvises by posing in her high school uniform, trying to embody the persona of a manga girl in a high school setting.

Unfortunately, the photography session ends in an embarrassing manner for the pair when Ririsa stumbles and falls onto Masamune. Later on, Masamune is unexpectedly encountered by Mikari Tachibana in the manga club. It is then discovered that Mikari is actually Masamune’s childhood friend, and it is interesting to note that she has harbored feelings for him since they were children.

The episode proceeds to show a flashback, in which Mikari asks the boy if he has feelings for anyone. Masamune firmly responds that his only love interest is his favorite manga character, Liliel. Additionally, the flashback reveals how Masamune once bravely intervened when a group of boys were harassing Mikari.

Despite Mikari’s five-year absence from the city to pursue a modeling career, she had hoped that her success and newfound beauty would change Masamine’s feelings towards her. However, upon her return, she realizes that he is still the same person. Despite this realization, she is unable to harbor any negative feelings towards him.

Despite the fact that others may quickly develop feelings for her, Mikari sees Masamune as someone who stands out. After experiencing multiple rejections in his life, he has found comfort in a fictional character. Mikari desires to become a source of comfort and support for Masamune.

Following an awkward encounter with Masamune, Mikari retreats to the rooftop and reminisces about their past interactions. As she does so, her attention is caught by a girl who enters the manga club.

Upon entering the room, Mikari is surprised to find Masamune taking photos of a girl wearing Liliel’s outfit. The girl, Ririsa, asks Mikari if she would like to join in on the cosplay. The episode concludes with the supermodel questioning whether the girl in front of her is actually Liliel.
