3.5/5⭐️
Ich habe es innerhalb von 40 Minuten durch gesuchtet. Es gab vieles was mich leider gestört hat, die Story war mir etwas zu gehetzt, eben noch saß Ayame Zuhause und schon ist sie mitten im Spiel, die Charaktere werden kaum vorgestellt und gefühlt ist sie zehn Minuten im Spiel und schon muss sie die letzte Aufgabe erledigen. Ich hätte es viel langsamer angehen lassen. Die Idee und der Zeichenstil sind toll, warum so durchrennen?
Ich hätte es viel mehr gefeiert, wenn sie im ersten Band ankommt und alle Charaktere und die Spielwelt erstmal introduced werden. Dann hätten gerne noch ein paar mehr Aufgabe kommen können und dann hätte ich ich die Endrunde angeteasert und die Leser auf den zweiten Teil warten lassen.
Aber gut. Was mir gut gefallen hat war Aku, es hat mich zwar kurz verwirrt, da er ja sprechen konnte, doch letztendlich war es cool ihn als Charakter in der Spielwelt zu haben.
Den zweiten Band werde ich auf jeden Fall lesen, vielleicht wird da ja noch ins Detail gegangen!

The story tries to impress with disembowlments and strained character relations, but ultimately falls short in both regards. There is little suspense when you can barely tell the characters apart and when so little makes sense in their upside-down world. You have the annoyingly-confident characters on one side and the inhumanly-innocent on the other. It's barely possible to raise an eyebrow for either. They're as predictable as the awful mock-story which, instead of answering them, only raises more questions by the end. At least it was short.

Matsuyuki Ayame is a young geisha who is full of innocence and life. One day she stumbles into an awkward young man who upon leaving drops a strange game console. She plays around with it and enters her name, uncertain what it does. She soon finds herself in a world similar to the real one, but infinitely more dangerous. Thankfully, she is not alone.

Aru, a dog that likes Ayame in the real world is in the reversed world and it can speak. It is Ayame's guide and protector in this strange world. There are other normal humans there, struggling to survive, like the young man who dropped the game console. While trying to find him, Ayame gets attacked by a zombie. She is saved by the skilled Uezono Daichi and Koizumi Ayame. Takayuki is also in their group. Together they head for the exit, completing various objectives along the way.

During the next round in the reversed world, Ayame convinces Takayuki that they don't have to attack the zombies. Uezono and Koizumi still see this as foolish, so Ayame and Takayuki become targets. She then seeks out the zombie leader and figures out that the reverse world suffers from a plague. As the players fulfill objectives, the plague is released into the real world. She manages to convince the players to stand down, but Daichi prefers to fight on. I have no idea what happens in the end.

Good story with a bad pacing.
The whole "protagonist in a different world (which turns out is a game) tries to get back to the real world" storyline is nothing new, but with the setting in Kyoto surprising enjoyable to read. Sadly, there is only one volume to go so I will not have any hopes, that there will be a chance to sympathize with any of the characters.

Eine packende Story, die trotz der Kürze schnell in den Bann zieht und gespannt sein lässt, was sich hinter dem ganzen "Spiel" verbirgt. Die Protagonistin Ayame überzeugt durch ihren starken Willen und Mut. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Charakteren blickt sie hinter die Fassade des Ganzen und lässt sich nicht durch Angst oder Vorurteilen beeinflussen. Eine tolle Geschichte, die sehr überrascht und durch den fantastischen Zeichenstil des Mangaka beeindruckt.

Wow 😍 ich bin total begeistert von dem Zeichenstil und die Story fand ich erfrischend und sehr unterhaltsam ☺️ und ich habe mit der Protagonistin total mitgefiebert 😄

[Hayleigh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not something I tend to pick up manga wise, but the story was so gripping that I finished it in one setting. Not everything was explained and it looks kind of open ended, but it was a great and interesting concept.

[Jagoda · Rating 4 out of 5]

My first Manga ever, and I finished it in an 45 minutes. But, it was really nice and creepy.

The cover got my attention, and the concept sounded interesting, but I was let down on this one. The plot is full of holes, and the main character is so cliche that she is annoying.
