軽快さの中にミリタリー的なこだわりが香る

Military-like commitment is scented in lightness

This review contains spoilers. 高身長という現実のコンプレックスを、VR世界で最小にして最速の個性へと反転させる発想が、爽快感を決定づけている本作――。ピンクの弾丸・レンが戦場を駆け抜ける姿は愛らしさと緊張感を同時に孕み、銃撃戦の臨場感をぐっと引き寄せます原作とは異なる導入ながら、ゲーム知識と戦術理解を丁寧に積み重ねていく構成が、バトルロイヤルへの没入感を自然に高めていくのも巧み相棒との連携や距離感の読み合いは、ただ派手な撃ち合いに終わらない戦闘として描かれている作画は原作イラストの空気感を尊重しつつ、動きと構図で戦場のスピードの可視化に成功?軽快さの中にミリタリー的なこだわりが香る一作として、“もうひとつのSAO”の魅力を確かに打ち出した良質なコミカライズ作品です

This review contains spoilers. The idea of reversing the reality complex of tall stature into the smallest and fastest personality in the VR world determines the feeling of exhilaration in this work. The figure of Ren the pink bullet running through the battlefield simultaneously evokes a sense of loveliness and tension, and draws a lot of realism in shootouts. The structure, which carefully accumulates game knowledge and tactical understanding while introducing something different from the original, naturally enhances the sense of immersion in battle royale, and skillfully cooperating with partners and sharing a sense of distance is a battle that doesn't just end in a flashy shootout. The drawing is depicted as a battle that doesn't end in just a flashy shootout. Succeeded in visualizing speed? It is a high-quality comicalized work that definitely brings out the appeal of “The Other SAO” as a work with a sense of military commitment in its lightness

オンライン銃ゲーム

gun games online

小説のキノの旅の時点で、作者さんの銃好きオーラはひしひしと感じていたので、こちらでもノリノリなんだろうな〜と思いながら読んでました（ガンゲイルの小説は未読）。漫画家さんが、イラスト担当の黒星さんの絵をなるべく再現しようとしているのも好印象です。

At the time of the novel Kino's Journey, I felt that the author had a strong sense of fondness for guns, so I was reading it while wondering if it was a no-brainer here too (I haven't read Gungale's novel). It's also impressive that the manga artist is trying to reproduce the pictures of Mr. Kuroboshi, who is in charge of the illustrations, as much as possible.

スピンオフ

spin-off

SAOのスピンオフだけど、本編を知らない人でも問題なく楽しめる作品だと思います。絵が凄く可愛くて女の子たちは可愛く、更にアクションシーンは迫力と躍動感があって見応えがあります。

It's an SAO spin-off, but I think it's a game that even people who don't know the main story can enjoy without problems. The pictures are so cute and the girls are cute, and furthermore, the action scenes are impressive and dynamic, making them spectacular.

SAO

SAO

SAO知らない自分でも楽しめました。世界観は一緒でも、全然違うお話なので、これだけで楽しめるのが良いですね。ネット世界に没頭する気持ちはわからないのですが、自分とは違うアバターに自分が慣れると言うのは魅力なのかな？と思えました

I was able to enjoy it even though I didn't know SAO. Even though they have the same worldview, it's a completely different story, so it's nice to be able to enjoy it with just this. I don't understand the feeling of being immersed in the internet world, but is it appealing to say that you get used to avatars that are different from your own? I thought

「ピングの悪魔」レンとして

“The Devil in Ping” as Ren

180センチオーバーの身長にコンプレックスを持っている女子大生の香蓮は、友人の美優の勧めでVRゲームを始める。荒廃した世界を舞台に銃器で戦うゲームで、やっと小柄で可愛らしいアバターを手に入れ、プレイヤー名をレンとして、縁のなかった銃器の世界ガンゲイル・オンラインへ足を踏み入れる。根が真面目な香蓮は、コツコツとミッションをこなしていくうちに面白さに嵌り、対人戦では「ピンクの悪魔」と言われるほどの凄腕プレイヤーになっていく。「ソードアートオンライン」の「ファントムバレット編」を原案としたスピンオフ作品。キャラクターたちがゲームに嵌っていくのがわかる、臨場感のあるゲーム世界が魅力的です。

Koren, a female college student who is over 180 centimeters tall and has a complex, starts a VR game on the recommendation of her friend Miyu. It's a game where you fight with firearms set in a devastated world, and you finally get a petite and cute avatar, and step into the unrelated world of firearms: Gungale Online, with the player name Len. Koren, who has serious roots, gets used to the fun as she steadily carries out missions, and becomes such an amazing player that he is called the “Pink Devil” in PvP battles. A spin-off based on the “Phantom Bullet Edition” of “Sword Art Online.” The game world with a sense of realism, where you can see the characters fit into the game is fascinating.

小説の作家さんは「キノの旅」をずっと読んでいたので、もうだいぶ長い付き合いで、キノも銃を持っているので作家さんの銃好きは当時から感じていたものの、本作の小説が出た時は買いませんでした。なので今回が初読み。絵の臨場感も申し分なくおもしろいです。

The writer of the novel has been reading “Kino's Journey” for a long time, so we've been in a relationship for quite a while now, and since Kino also has a gun, I felt that the writer likes guns from that time on, but I didn't buy this novel when it came out. So this is my first time reading it. The realism of the picture is also very interesting.

あら、面白い！

Oh, that's interesting!

プッシュ作品だったので読んでみたんだけど、面白い！バーチャルリアリティ！ゲームの世界での戦闘?好き好き！こういうの。ここまでリアルにゲームを楽しめるのって近い将来出来そうだよね。心拍数で強制終了してくれるのも有り難い?ショックでそのまま…とか起こりそうだもん。やってみたいなぁ?

It was a push work, so I read it, and it's interesting! virtual reality! Fighting in the game world? Like I like it! this kind of thing. It looks like we'll be able to realistically enjoy games up to this point in the near future. are you also thankful that they forced it to stop due to your heart rate? I'm shocked and it seems like it's going to happen as it is... would you like to try it?

ガンアクション

gun action

This review contains spoilers. ソードアート・オンラインのスピンオフのような感じの物語ですね。というかスピンオフなんですけれどね。ソードアート・オンラインにはない感じのストーリー構成　ほぼ女性キャラで詰められたような物語　によってより百合系にも見えないことはないと思います。

This review contains spoilers. It's a story that feels like a Sword Art Online spin-off. Or rather, it's a spin-off. A story structure that feels like Sword Art Online doesn't have, and I don't think there's anything more invisible in the Yuri series due to a story that's almost filled with female characters.

まあ身長とかって、やっぱコンプレックスを感じたりするよなあ。女性やったら高身長にコンプレックスを持ったりするし、男性だったら低身長だったらコンプレックスになるしなあ。

Well, when it comes to height, I still feel complicated. If you're a woman, you have a complex when you're tall, and if you're a man, if you're short, you have a complex.

コミカライズ

Comicalize

This review contains spoilers. よく知らずにガンゲイル・オンライン＝ファントムバレット編にこんな人居たっけ？と思ったら全然違った笑ガンゲイル・オンラインが舞台と言うだけでSAO本編とは特に繋がっていない。コミカライズあるあるだけど漫画にしては文字が多くてコマにミチミチとセリフが詰まっていたりするのでちょっと読み難い。絵は可愛い。

This review contains spoilers. Were there people like this in Gungale Online = Phantom Bullet without knowing it well? When I thought about it, it's just that it's set in a completely different lol Gungale Online, and it's not particularly connected to the SAO main story. There is comicalization, but when it comes to comics, it's a bit difficult to read because there are a lot of characters and the frames are filled with crazy lines. The picture is cute.
