[Torka]

Alt title: デモンズ・クレスト
Author: Reki Kawahara
Artist: Horiguchi Yukiko
Publisher: ASCII Media Works (Dengeki Bunko)
Volumes: The first one releases in November
Synopsis:
"Onii-chan, this is reality!"

Yuma Ashihara, a 6th grade student at Sekka Elementary School, stepped into the "New World", a fusion of game and reality, while playing the VRMMORPG "Actual Magic".

The most beautiful girl in the class, Sumika Watamaki, appears before Yuma, who is confused and unable to comprehend the situation. But her appearance had changed tragically. It's something that can only be thought of as a "monster" in a game...

"--This is a game, and it's reality."

Following VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality), Reki Kawahara's latest work is set in MR (mixed reality) & death game!

Comments: …it’s a new series by the author of Sword Art Online. I mean sure, there’s a 99% chance that Yen Press is going to swoop up the rights, but it’s still a possibility in any case.
