Yuuki Asuna was a top student who spent her days at cram school and preparing for her high school entrance exams–but that was before she borrowed her brother’s virtual reality game system and wound up trapped in Sword Art Online with ten thousand other frightened players. As time passes, Asuna fears what will become of her life outside the fantasy realm–the failure she might seem in the eyes of her peers and parents. Unwilling to wait on the sidelines for more experienced gamers to beat the game, Asuna employs her study habits to learn the mechanics of game–and swordplay. Her swiftness impresses Kirito, a pro gamer who invites Asuna to join the best players on the front lines. Is Asuna ready to swap class rankings for player rankings and join Kirito?
A manga adaptation of the popular game, Hollow Realization takes place in the VRMMORPG game Sword Art: Origin and sees Kirito and friends traversing the land of Ainground, a rebuild of Aincrad, when they meet a mysterious NPC girl named Premiere who hasn’t been coded into the game. Vowing to protect her, they search to uncover the truth of her null coding while also contending with players who want to erase her existence from the game.
A full year has elapsed since the adventure in Sword Art Online concluded, followed by another ten months of peace after the incident in ALfheim Online. However, strange events have begun to occur once more, this time in the VRMMO game known as Gun Gale Online (GGO). Two players have been shot by an individual cloaked in a mantle who calls himself "Death Gun." Strangely, after their in-game deaths, these players disconnect from the game and are then found dead in reality days later. In light of these events, Kikuoka Seijirou from the VR Crimes Division contacts Kirigaya Kazuto to investigate a connection between the in-game and real-life deaths. It is discovered that Death Gun specifically targets the highest-ranked players, leading Kazuto to take action by transforming his ALfheim Online character into one suitable for Gun Gale Online, and enlisting in the prestigious Bullet of Bullets tournament to try and catch the mysterious killer.
Susumu Hayashi, his twin brother Tsutomu and Sakura Toyama are childhood friends. Tsutomu disappeared when he was ten years old. Then two years later, he reappeared—this time only in front of Susumu. And what’s more, from inside a mirror! Now, events that no one has ever experienced take place in this bizarre love triangle!! Aoyama’s love story starts off with a twist: The twin brothers Susumu and Tsutomu have been friends with the girl Sakura since they were kids. But when Tsutomu mysteriously disappears at the age of ten, Susumu and Sakura begin to drift apart. What Sakura doesn’t know: Tsutomu has returned, not as a person, but as the mirror image of Susumu. That is, whenever Susumu looks in a mirror, he sees his brother who talks to him. Thus begins a bizarre love triangle between Sakura, who torments the poor Susumu as much as she is being tormented by her peers, Susumu, who keeps thinking he has to save Sakura because he likes her, and Tsutomu, who despite being stuck in a mirror pulls everyone’s strings. Aoyama’s lively narrative and her beautifully rich artwork lend this strange story a surprisingly charming touch. Considering that SWWEEET is her first series, it’s amazing how well she did her job. From the paneling to the layout to the pacing, everything is excellently executed. If you like unusual and exotic youth love stories, you should definitely give SWWEEET a try.
