<p>Glasslip is presented as a single word, and it is logical to suppose that &quot;glass lip&quot; is what the anime was going for. This makes sense, since here, “lip” can mean “a projecting edge on a container or other hollow object”. Then, &quot;Glass lip” can describe to the edges of glass surface, such as a bead, where the glass bends around and causes light passing through to bend in strange ways, distorting the image [1].</p>

<p>Is it glass + lip?<br>
Is it glass + slip?</p>

<p>The Japanese title is</p>

<p>グラスリップ - it is in katakana, so definitely is a foreign word.</p>

<p>So, the title means lips made of glass, or slipping on glass?</p>
