2.5 Dimensional Seduction

A manga about Okumura, a die-hard “2 dimensional girls only” otaku and president and sole member of the school’s manga club. His world is turned upside down when an cosplay enthusiast underclassman Lilysa joins the club and cosplays as Okumura’s 2 dimensional crush Lilliel.

This manga is exactly what it looks like, which is a commercial entertainment that uses fan service to sell itself. For the first dozen of chapters I flipped through it on Jump+ but eventually the story shifts into storylines about friendship and love of cosplay. The fanservice doesn’t change but the added dramatic the characters get roped into made for some emotional beats that pull at your heartstrings. Now it’s a series that I enjoy as I’m invested in these girls who want to enjoy cosplay together. Good job Yu Hashimoto for making me find the feels behind all the under cleavage.

It’s been licensed by Seven Seas and will be release under their Ghost Ship label.
