Ne pas répondre à un message lu = la mort !!

Piégé dans le réseau Real Account, Yuma Mukai a fait alliance avec Ayame Kamijo, une adolescente aussi crispante qu'égoïste. Malgré tout, le duo fonctionne, jusqu'à devenir très populaire lors d'une épreuve inspirée de la télé-réalité. Bientôt confrontés à un robot narcissique, Yuma et Ayame se dévoilent un peu plus l'un à l'autre, dans l'espoir de trouver une solution pour contrer le monstre. Ils ignorent encore que le jeu suivant, baptisé « zapping fatal », va laisser des traces, et pas seulement parmi ses victimes directes...

Think I'm done with this series. It's just the same thing over again with sex and violence as titillation. There are glimpses of good moments where it makes some great commentary on the internet and social media addiction, but the good stuff is completely drowned out by everything else.

The challenges get fiercer in this volume as the contestants face off against a giant doll desperate for their attention and a deadly game of telephone through text. I’m enjoying the development of the main characters . The body count goes ever higher so I’m curious how this will end

A couple of fun twists, rough transitions and transitional piece.

Well, the good news is, we've gotten through two volumes without resetting the cast again. There have still only been the barest of hints that Ataru & Co. exist, and that the events we're seeing don't mesh up with what happened in the first two volumes; for all intents and purposes, at this point, the story begins in volume 3. Hopefully things will all (somehow) get tied together at some point in the future, because I'm still liking the original cast more.

We do find out a lot more about Ayame in this volume at least (and boy, is she messed up!), but I'm still not taking to her and Yuma as readily as I did to the original characters. The events in the real world do get elaborated on more in this volume, but only incrementally. As for the death games themselves, they don't feel as inspired as the earlier ones, but they're entertaining enough.

All in all, not a great entry in the series, but not a terrible one, either. I'll give it one more volume, to see if the story can reignite my interest, but if not, I sadly might be done with Real Account.

How is Yuma so smart? And when are we going back to Ataru's story?

It annoys me there are parts I'm interested in with this series but mostly it's declining in quality for me by now. The kill all gimmick is getting old and stale by now and the plotting/scheeming between characters and whatnot is too far between for my personal liking/interest. Most of this manga/series seem to mostly live on shock value of people getting killed in horrible ways or suffering from other assaults rather than fostering the mystery/thriller plot unfortunately. You get small bits and pieces of interesting plot but mostly it's just like Hellsing, where everything is just violence and more violence and more shocking things than actual plot. I will say Real Account does have a deeper plotline than Hellsing which is just beat the Nazis, I'll give the series that!
I'll read volume five as I have it from my library but I'm pretty sure I'll DNF this series now.

Quatrième tome et même recette. On suit toujours Yuma et Ayame qui doivent s’entraider pour survivre aux jeux sadiques de Marble. Encore une fois, ce sont des jeux originaux qui font légèrement réfléchir sur la réalité des réseaux sociaux. Il est intéressant de voir aussi la différence de réactions entre les différentes personnes coincées dans Rea. Ce n’est pas les seules solutions de Yuma qui fonctionnent et on peut avoir un aperçu de ce que les autres font.

Une nouvelle trame s’insère aussi avec Nanako, la copine de Yuma, qui part à la recherche du corps de celui-ci que Marble a volé dans le vrai monde. Il sera intéressant de voir le but de tout ça.
Encore une fois, un moment agréable de lecture.

Gli ultimi due volumi di questa serie hanno preso una svolta un po' strana e che da una parte non mi convince molto... Sono curiosa di proseguire la lettura perché voglio scoprine di più ma non so... Insomma abbiamo abbandonato il nostro protagonista per il presunto fratello gemello e niente, continuano i terribili giochi di Real Account, mentre all'esterno si cerca (con poco successo) di risolvere il mistero dei corpi dei partecipanti rubati e portati chissà dove. Cioè vorrei un po' di chiarezza e vorrei che i due protagonisti si incontrassero e interagissero e ci fosse un po' più di chiarezza perché la serie promette bene ed è intrigante, ma se continua così...

I figured it out: this manga gives me a feeling of dread like the manga Happy Sugar Life does. The characters for the most part are pretty awful individuals who contribute to an awful situation. It makes you wonder what the people around you may think of you in their truest hearts of hearts...

[Victor The Reader · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yuma and his new friend Ayame must keep an attention seeking bomb from blowing up everyone in the RA world and to not ignore any replies or they’ll meet their deadly maker. However, it brings back some uncomfortable memories for Ayame and how she was once hungry for attention herself. B+ (83%/Very Good)

3-3.5 stars

While I find this series interesting--especially with some of the takes on social media--certain elements like fan service and (in this volume specifically) using stigmatizing language and information about certain behaviors/actions taken online/in-person, leave me unsure how to feel about it overall.

[Amanda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Can we stop with the needless fanservice. Ugh.

[Faeryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

The new games introduced in this volume were really interesting. I'm also curious to find out what's gonna happen in real life with the girls.

[Acacia Weber · Rating 2 out of 5]

Better, but...

So it's getting more interesting but whatever happened to the twin what's even going know there even a point to all this

The Spirited Away vibes from that massive creepy doll though ._.

[sliceofmini · Rating 4 out of 5]

OOOo.. the lack of sleep really spoke to me because I've been doing night shifts in my wards atm and reading about it during my breaks is pure adrenaline rush. I feel ya .

[Kris Ritchie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love how this manga takes how we tend to act on social media, and flip it on its head. This volume features a game that takes the idea of leaving someone on read to lethal levels.

[Katherine B. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is such a twisted story. I'm hooked.

[David Doel · Rating 4 out of 5]

The puzzles aren't quite as interesting; the solutions aren't quite as clever. But, still very readable.

[Isabel (Isabel Reads) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my favorite volume. Hoping I enjoy the next one more.
