About the Manga
The manga, licensed by Seven Seas as part of its Ghost Ship imprint, follows the story of Okumura, the president of the school's manga club, who claims to have no interest in real girls. However, his perspective changes when Lilysa, a real 3D girl passionate about cosplay, joins the club. She convinces Okumura to become her photographer, despite his obsession with the 2D character Lilliel. The story explores the blurred boundaries between 2D and 3D in this romantic comedy.
Yū Hashimoto launched the manga on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ website in 2019. With over 1.7 million copies in circulation, it's clear that "2.5 Dimensional Seduction" has captured the hearts of many manga fans.
