Monthly! Real Account 1

This is one of the new series that came out this week and one of the series that I will pick up. It's about our current situation with SN (Social Networking) websites. Well, for me, it was like more than 5 years ago with Friendster. Yeah, I know! Anyway, fake friends are wide spread and this just shows you how many REAL friends (people who really care about you, family, friends, lovers and other people) that care about you. Yeah, be sad now.

I have searched the googles and I haven't found a magazine cover for this series. Sorry!

It's like Sword Art Online in a way because their consciousness gets taken out of their body and into a virtual world while dying inside the virtual world kills you in reality. It has that same hook that SAO had, a virtual world taken for granted, creating a fake persona, dying in the virtual means death in real life. So why not?

Spoiler Alert! If you are gonna read this post, please read the actual manga first!

Warning! This series contains intense gore and graphic violence!

Monthly! Amagi Brilliant Park 1

This is one of the new series I'm picking up and it's a monthly! The story is quite unique where it looks like it revolves around a theme park "Amagi Brilliant Park" (hence the title). The theme park was a built during the *bubble economy of Japan and it has been a mess after the burst. I'll get into more details but for now, all you need to know is that it's a theme park that looks run down. No "guests" and no people around to enjoy their time. What is going to happen?

Monthly Dragon Age March 2014 Issue 3
(I did my research!)

From the colored splash page for this series, it says that they need to get a lot of people to go to that run down theme park. The time limit given is about 2 weeks so for someone in high school in his third semester, that's a lot of things on his plate (it's third semester, finals come rolling in).

Previously on: All you need is Kill 5: Sergeant Bartolome is seen dead and after some time, Kiriya inevitably follows. We get to see Keiji's schedule and it doesn't change except for this day. His depressed expression on his face made him a target for a tough guy as Rachel complained about it. He was forced to engage in combat yet he only dodges the tough guy's punches.
