| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Official English: https://saoif-com.sslcs.cdngc.net/web/official/en/pdf/saoif_prologuecomics.pdf Official Japanese: http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/602/1602237/saoif1002.pdf It was basically the first floor of Aincrad but with a couple of more characters introduced earlier than when they were in the other series. There were also two new characters. I am a SAO fan, so I personally enjoyed it. |

| I swear, I thought Kirito and Protagonist were the same person until one of the final pages where they're in the same panel together. It was confusing the hell out of me when I thought he was like 'I can't make it in time... but... I CAN!' lol. I understood that it was a different guy in the beta scene, but then later I just forgot because he basically looked like Kirito with lighter hair. Anyway... I enjoyed it, of course, being an SAO fan. It would be interesting to see more exploration of the beta-test period. I feel like not many relationships from that time were carried into the full game, as would normally happen in a beta of an MMO, having been in a few myself. On a side-note, who translated this? They didn't do a very good job. |
| Ok, so it's the opening story told from another perspective? |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
