Accel World #3

Accel World Vol. 3 brings Reki Kawahara's story to life through Hiroyuki Aiyama's art, with character designs by HiMA. The cover places a dark-haired girl in a school uniform front and center, her expression tense and resolute as vivid red energy streaks surround her — looming behind her is a massive, menacing armored figure that makes the stakes feel unmistakably high. This 2015 Ototo release is a striking entry in the manga adaptation of one of the most inventive near-future gaming universes in the genre.
