posted on by Alex Mateo
The anime will premiere on July 5, and it will air for two consecutive cours (quarters of a year) for a half-year run.
The anime stars:
- Junya Enoki as Masamune Okumura
- Kaori Maeda as Ririsa Amano (Seven Seas spells the name as Lilysa)
- Akari Kitō as Mikari Tachibana
- Aya Yamane as 753♡
- Yuka Nukui as Magino
- Tomokazu Sugita as Ogino
- M.A.O as Mayuri Hanyu
- Sayumi Suzushiro as Nonoa
- Sayumi Watabe as Aria
Hideki Okamoto (Bakugan: Evolutions, Mysteria Friends) is directing the anime at J.C. Staff. Takao Yoshioka (Horimiya) is in charge of the series scripts. Tomoyuki Shitaya (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma) is designing the characters. Hiroaki Tsutsumi (Dr. Stone) is composing the music.
Meichan will perform the opening theme song "Shutter Chance," and voice actresses Kaori Maeda and Akari Kitō as their characters will perform the ending theme song "Watch Me" for the show's first half.
Hashimoto launched the ongoing manga on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ website in 2019. The manga has over 1.7 million copies in circulation.
Seven Seas licensed the manga as part of its Ghost Ship imprint, and it describes the story:
“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.
Aiming and Team Caravan are also developing a smartphone game for the franchise titled 2.5 Jigen no Lilysa: Tenshi-tachi no Stage (2.5 Dimensional Seduction: Angels' Stage).
