What to expect in 2.5 Dimensional Seduction episode 1

Based on Yu Hashimoto's cosplay-themed Japanese manga series, the 2.5 Dimensional Seduction anime centers around Masamune Okumura, a high school student who is the president of the school's manga club. Interestingly, he has an unhealthy obsession with fictional girls, especially the 2D manga character Lilliel.

Masamune also has less interest in real-life girls, as he prefers 2D characters from his favorite games and manga. However, one day, Ririsa Amano, a bubbly girl, joins Masamune's manga club and convinces him to become her photographer. As fate would have it, the boy discovers that Ririsa's favorite character is also Lilliel.

At the same time, Masamune finds out about Ririsa's love for modeling and cosplays. Gradually, the boy develops a liking for Ririsa, and the fine line between 2D and 3D begins to blur for him.

Considering the anime focuses on cosplay and Masamume and Ririsa's unique chemistry, 2.5 Dimensional Seduction episode 1 could set the tone for the rest of the season by introducing the characters and revealing their unique personalities.

If J.C. Staff faithfully follows the manga, fans can expect the premiere episode to cover Yu Hashimoto's manga's first chapter, titled "The New Member." As such, the episode will showcase Masamune and Ririsa's encounter. The episode is also expected to have some fan-service moments.
