About this ebook

Yuuki Asuna was a top student who spent her days studying 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 be seen as 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 the game--and swordplay. Her swiftness impresses Kirito, a professional gamer who invites Asuna to join the best players on the front line. Is Asuna ready to swap class rankings for player rankings and join Kirito?

Ratings and reviews

I really like how this version of the original SAO shows Asuna's side of the from the story. Also it shows other unique thinks that we never saw in the anime! I wish it was a little bit cheaper but for the cool action and jokes I see in the story, I can say it's worth every penny! I'm looking very forward to reading and buy the other books. Keep up the great work and please turn this into a anime!😄

I absolutely love it. I love how manga are always more detailed than the actual Anime. I finished the full anime of SAO and im waiting for the new movie coming out in March this year. LINK START

It was a nice little twist on the story taking the perspective of Asuna instead of Kirito, I'm gonna read this series to the end and hope it gets an anime adaptation.
