Sword Art Online: Fairy Dance
Also known as: ソードアート・オンライン フェアリィ・ダンス, SAO
by Reki Kawahara, Tsubasa Hazuki
Kazuto Kirigaya (aka Kirito) has beaten Sword Art Online, a VRMMORPG that transformed into a literal game of death, and returned to the real world. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Asuna Yuuki (aka Asuna the Flash), the girl with whom Kirito fell in love in the virtual world of Aincrad but who has yet to awaken from her game-induced slumber. As his sister, Suguha, sadly looks on, Kazuto continues to visit Asuna in the hospital in the hope of finding answers. But when one day he meets a man claiming to be Asuna's fiancé, Kazuto fears that Asuna may be lost to him forever... That is until a fellow survivor of SAO taken form the latest VRMMORPG sensation, ALfheim Online - a screenshot that features someone being held captive who looks entirely too much like Asuna! His hope renewed, Kirito dives headlong into an all-new virtual adventure, but can true love conquer the game?! Note: Covers the Fairy Dance Arc from Volumes 3 and 4 of the light novel series.

Read the full take
Kazuto Kirigaya, known as Kirito, has beaten Sword Art Online, a VRMMORPG that transformed into a literal game of death, and returned to the real world. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for everyone. The premise is a spin-off in which Kirito returns to the virtual worlds, this time for a different and more dangerous challenge.The strength is the action. The virtual battles are bright and well staged, and fans of the franchise will enjoy seeing its cast in new settings. The tone is energetic.The weaknesses are about the familiarity of the setup. The virtual-game-trap formula is common, and some arcs follow a formulaic pattern. Readers new to the franchise will find less to hold them.Recommended for fans of Sword Art Online who want another round in its virtual worlds. Expect an energetic read that works best with prior knowledge.
