The TV anime adaptation of Yu Hashimoto’s manga “Temptation of 2.5 Dimensions” (Temptation of 2.5 Dimensions) will be released in 2024.
“Temptation of 2.5 Dimensions” has been serialized on Shueisha’s webtoon platform Shonen Jump+ since June 2019, and won the 4th place in the webtoon category of the “Next Step Comic Awards 2020”. As of March 2022, the cumulative number of views has broken through 140 million times, and the cumulative sales volume of booklets (paper + electronic) exceeded 1.7 million in December of the same year.
The story describes the male protagonist “Omura” who is the president of the manga research club, and he loves the second-dimensional character “Lily Elle”. . At the request of Risa, Okumura decides to assist her in filming cosplay activities, and at this time, Lily Elle herself appears in front of Okumura…
Although the theme is similar to another Cosplay comic “Falling in Love with Dress-up Doll”, “The Temptation of 2.5 Dimensions” combines the youth campus story and Cosplay with the Jump spirit of “friendship, hard work, and victory”. Inexplicably passionate atmosphere.
In the beginning, the author only wanted to draw short cosplay romantic comedy comics with a little bit of elements and cute girls, but after mentioning role-playing activities, it was widely welcomed by readers, and the trend became a hot-blooded youth cosplay comic. Due to the specification restrictions of iOS and Mr. Hashimoto’s desire to describe the content about cosplay more seriously, the welfare content from the third volume of the booklet is not as much as before.
