Marin's rival will arrive in 2.5 Dimensional Seduction

On the official website for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Yuu Hashimoto, "2.5 Dimensional Seduction (2.5-jigen no Ririsa)", a new promotional visual for the project was revealed. The press release listed that the premiere remains scheduled for the Summer-2024 season (July-September) and that the series will run for two consecutive cours (six months of continuous broadcasting).

Additionally, a special video was also revealed announcing two new voice cast members, including:

Sayumi Suzushiro as Nonoe
Sayumi Watabe as Aria

Yuu Hashimoto began publishing the manga through Shueisha's Shonen Jump Plus digital service, where it is still in serialization. This is the first work of the author Hashimoto, so no background can be established.

Synopsis of 2.5 Dimensional Seduction

"I'm not interested in real girls!" So says 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 begins and a 3D (real!) girl named Lilysa, whose passion is cosplay, joins the club. Lilysa convinces Okumura to become her photographer, and guesses who her favorite manga character is. And not only that, Lilysa likes to model fetish things! The boundaries between 2D and 3D begin to blur as this hot-blooded romantic comedy unfolds.
