I just read chapter 25 of volume 1 but now Volume 2 doesnt look like the sequel,it's more like a side story(I just read the prologue and the begining of chapter 1).Which volume is the sequel for Volume 1's story?  |

Quote from azneas Vol 1=SAO story Vol 2=SAO sidestories Vol 3=Set in Alfheim Online. Basically, although Kirito has woken up from the Nerve Gear, there were still a portion of the people that have not woke up from the SAO imprisonment, one of them Asuna. Then, one day, Kirito receives a tip-off (from his old merchant friend in SAO) that Asuna was seen in the new game world ALO (apparently, the SAO incident wasn't enought to stop people from making and playing VRMMORPG games). So, Kirito decides to enter ALO to investigate. Vol 4: Continuation of Vol 3 Vol 5: In the VR game Gun Gale online, there has been a string of mysterious cases where some characters have been killed and their owners (in real life) were discovered dead as well. So, the bureau of virtual management (or something, I just made that name up) asks Kirito to investigate the case of the "Death Gun" (gun that not only kills the character, but the player as well) Vol 6: Continuation of Vol 7 (and flashback? IDK, can't really tell) Vol 7: Alicization. From what I heard, it is about Kirito participating in an actual VR world (not a game) in order to develop the first true AI (building it up from scratch). IDK how this works but maybe somebody else can give a more accurate description.  |

Volume two is also really good, it had me completely hooked! The first part with the dragon tamer was ok, I wonder if we'll see her again? The second part with the blacksmith was quite nice, yet slightly heartbreaking. I got slightly confused at the end with the detailed explanation of the Cardinal from Yui. The final one with Sachi was incredibly heart breaking, especially the recording at the end : ( |
