Customer Reviews

Great series that will touch your heart.

The manga is much like the anime. The artwork is diffrent but it's the same great story. This is a must series for the anime/manga fans. The original story was told in a novel format. You will love the story if you have never seen anything on the SOA (sword art online) series. This is where it all started.
