About the anime's plot

2.5 Dimensional Seduction anime follows the narrative of Yu Hashimoto's manga series and centers around the high school student Masamune Okumura, who happens to be the president of the school's manga club. Obsessed with 2D characters, Okumura has no time for real girls.

However, everything changes when Ririsa Amano joins his club. Masamune Okumura realizes Ririsa is passionate about cosplay, and her favorite character is Liliel, the same character he loves. The anime blurs the line between 2D and 3D and celebrates cosplay as the core theme.
