The anime premiered on July 5 and will air in two consecutive episodes (first quarter of the year) for half a year. HIDIVE will stream the anime in the summer of 2024.
Anime stars:
Hideki Okamoto (Bakugan: Evolutions, Mysteria Friends) is directing the anime at JC 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 performs the opening theme song “Shutter Chance” and voice actresses Kaori Maeda and Akari Kitō as their characters perform the ending theme song “Watch Me” for the first half of the series.
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).
Seven Seas licensed the manga as part of its Ghost Ship imprint and it describes the story:
“I have no interest in real girls!” Okumura, the president of his school’s manga club, insists. He’s a typical otaku, obsessed with a sexy 2D (fictional) manga character named Lilliel. Then, a new school year begins and a 3D (real!) girl named Lilysa with a passion for cosplay joins the club. Lilysa convinces Okumura to be her photographer–and guess who her favorite manga character is? Not only that, Lilysa also loves modeling fetishes! The lines between 2D and 3D begin to blur as this steamy romantic comedy unfolds.
Hashimoto launched the ongoing manga series on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ website in 2019. The series has over 1.7 million copies in circulation.
