Synopsis of 2.5 Dimensional Seduction

After a disastrous romantic confession, Masamune Okumura finds solace in the fictional world of anime and manga. Now a sophomore and president of the Manga Research Club, Masamune spends a peaceful existence watching the adventures of the angel Liliel, his favorite character. At the beginning of the year, Masamune's life is turned upside down when he meets first-year student Ririsa Amano, who is passionate about cosplay. Despite Masamune's initial reluctance, the determined young woman manages to convince him to become her personal photographer for the production of a collection dedicated to her common favorite character: Liliel.

As Masamune eagerly discovers the world of cosplay and photo editing, she unexpectedly reunites with her childhood friend Mikari Tachibana, who has become a model in hopes of impressing her beloved classmate. Realizing that modeling isn't enough to intrigue the hopeless otaku, Mikari decides to join the club and become a cosplayer herself, all to finally have a chance to conquer Masamune's heart. However, Masamune's love of fictional characters may not be able to extend to those who impersonate them.
