Illustrator Shizumu Watanabe (Real Account) announced via his Twitter account that he plans to start serializing a new manga at the end of next summer. Watanabe had already revealed in early May that he was recruiting assistants for a new serialization.
Watanabe and Okushou completed the publication of the Real Account manga in November 2019. Watanabe (Kono Kanojo wa Fiction desu) was in charge of the art, and Okushou of the story.
The pair began publishing the manga in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in February 2014. The work later moved to Weekly Shonen Magazine from the same publisher in January 2015, and returned in June 2018 to the first magazine. Kodansha compiled the manga in 24 volumes, publishing the last one in December 2019.
Synopsis of Real Account
Ataru, like millions of other users, is part of a social network known as "Real Account". One day, he is one of the thousands of chosen ones who awaken within a virtual world. Trapped, he discovers that the game he has entered has quite simple rules: If you lose, you die in real life along with all your followers; but if all your followers abandon you, you will also die.
