  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.
