About the series
In the near future, Accel World (2015–2018) adapts Reki Kawahara's light novel into a manga for Ototo, spanning 8 issues. The story follows Haruyuki Arita, a bullied boy who discovers a virtual reality program that can accelerate his thoughts, drawing him into high-stakes digital battles. With art by Hiroyuki Aigamo, this series explores themes of identity and resilience within a cyberpunk playground. It matters as a faithful, visually kinetic entry point to Kawahara's acclaimed universe, distinct from his more famous Sword Art Online.
