The Ones Within

We all need a chance to change our lives! The story follows Miko Kurono, who began her dream career as a livestreamer under the name "Necronomico" after graduating middle school. Amidst spending her days with childhood friend Mayu Mayusaka and rival Kanna Kagurazaka, she's introduced to a new VR game project!? Upon encountering the game, the girls start pursuing the 'irreplacable now'.

Aloof and logical middle school third-year Yuusuke Yotsuya is transported to a game-like alternate world. He becomes a third player and takes on a dangerous quest with his classmates Iu Shindo and Kusue Hakozaki, who were transported there earlier. The cold Yuusuke eschews emotionalism and examines all elements with detachment, sometimes even toying with the lives of his companions. Can he protect his party from attacking monsters, difficult incidents, and powerful scheming enemies and win the game?

An original story included with volume 10 of the Nakanohito Genome [Jikkyouchuu] manga.

The "otaku girls" role-playing game takes place "a little bit in the future in 20XX." Akihabara, which was once called "the otaku holy land," is now in decline after otaku culture itself has declined. Players take on the role of a manager of one of the few remaining "otaku shops." The manager helps to "raise" various talented otaku girls, and together, players and the girls battle a "virus" that is infecting the world of various works, while also retrieving people's lost "memories."
