Synopsis

A story set in the near future, about a middle-aged loser whose only refuge is a virtual bishoujo game.

Takurou, the main character, is a stereotyped, low self esteem, adult male in a dead end job. Because he feels he has nothing to live for, he let himself go, becoming fat, miserable, and lonely. The only shining thing he lives for is the occasional visit to a brothel where his savings will allow him to at least not be completely sexless. This is when, through a real life friend of his, he is introduced to the virtual reality world of "The Unreal." Where, after spending $6000+ on equipment, you can purchase a virtual girlfriend who only thinks of you. Only the girl, Tsukiko, that Takurou purchases, seems to have come with a few defects.

"res•sen•ti•ment
noun
1. any cautious, defeatist, or cynical attitude based on the belief that the individual and human institutions exist in a hostile or indifferent universe or society.
2. an oppressive awareness of the futility of trying to improve one's status in life or in society."

That was a definition I ripped off straight from dictionary.com. I usually wouldn't start anything with a textbook definition of a word – because 1) its cheesy as hell and 2) most titles are arbitrary – but I felt the need to bend the rules just this once to emphasize how important the title is to this manga. Defining its literal meaning though ...

This manga is one focused on the dark side of virtual reality. By that I don't mean the super dark military mind control type stuff, but rather the creepy side where people become addicted to it. From that point of view, it certainly was unique, as most mangas that are VR focused seem to stay away from that side of things as the focus. But at the same time, this results in the characters being unlikable and the plot being pretty pathetic. And unrelated to that, overall it just seemed pretty messy and directionless all around, where no characters exhibited any growth and no major points related to ...

"Wow, that escalated quickly".

Man this manga is bad. Not because the main character is almost a lolicon or because there is some gross sexual+funny(?) scenes, or not even because the end is completely non-sense: it is bad because it's just like any other manga that hypes you, makes you feel that something freaking cool is going to happen and then......... AND THEN.... nothing. Just bullshit.

I would be lying if I say that I didn't enjoyed reading the first or even the second volume. The story keeps going deeper and being detailed... but then suddently everything starts just being non-sense.

Prepare yourself to tilt at least at ...
