The upcoming 2.5 Dimensional Seduction anime has cast M・A・O as Mayuri Hanyu. A character trailer has been released as part of the announcement. Studio J.C. Staff is animating the series, which will premiere this July.
Mayuri is described as a popular new high school teacher who becomes the advisor of the manga club. It also turns out that she is also a former cosplayer. Other cast members for the anime include:
Takao Yoshioka is in charge of the series composition, with Tomoyuki Shitaya on the character designs and Hiroaki Tsutsumi on the music. The anime is based on a manga series by Yu Hashimoto, which has been serialized on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ manga service since June 2019. The manga has so far released a total of 16 volumes, and it has surpassed 1.7 million circulating copies.
Seven Seas licensed the manga in English, describing the plot as:
A hot-blooded romantic cosplay comedy begins when an otaku meets a girl who dresses up as his favorite manga character. This sexy manga series comes recommended by Eiichiro Oda (creator of One Piece)!
“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 Liliel. 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.
