Earlier this year we learned that the 2.5 Dimensional Seduction anime will air its take on Yu Hashimoto’s manga starting this July. Now we know how long that run will be, with the official website confirming that the anime will have back-to-back cours adding up to a half-year run.
New cast members were also revealed, including Sayumi Suzushiro as Nonoa and Sayumi Watanabe as Aria. Check out a character highlight video below.
The 2.5 Dimensional Seduction anime is being made at J.C. Staff, with Hideki Okamoto of Bakugan: Evolutions helming the project as director. The task of series composition has been given to Takao Yoshioka, who is known for working on Horimiya. Credit for character design goes to Tomoyuki Shitaya of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma. The music is composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi, who has worked on Dr. STONE.
The anime is based on a manga by Yū Hashimoto, which debuted in 2019. Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English and gave this description for its plot:
“I have no interest in real girls!” So claims Okumura, the president of the school’s manga club. He’s your typical otaku, obsessed with a sexy (fictional) 2D manga character known as Lilliel. Then the new school year starts, and a (real!) 3D girl named Lilysa whose passion is cosplay joins the club. Lilysa convinces Okumura to become her photographer–and guess who her favorite manga character is? Not only that, but Lilysa is into modeling the fetishy stuff! The boundaries between 2D and 3D start to blur as this hot-blooded romantic comedy unfolds.
It’s published through Seven Seas Entertainment’s Ghost Ship imprint. Seven Seas explains that Ghost Ship is “an imprint of Seven Seas Entertainment dedicated to sexy manga for mature readers! Distributed by Penguin Random House, Ghost Ship books can be found at most retailers in both print and digital formats.”
