Synopsis of Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale
Online
Dressed in desert pink and sized like a child, the
infamous “Pink Devil” mercilessly hunts other players in the gun-centric world
of virtual reality game Gun Gale Online. But in real life, this feared
player-killer isn’t exactly who anyone would expect. Karen Kohiruimaki, a shy
college student from Tokyo, is a stark contrast to her in-game avatar—in fact,
she also happens to tower over everyone else, much to her chagrin. Karen towers
above everyone around her, and her insecurity about her height leads her to
turn to the virtual world as an escape.
She begins game after game in hopes of manifesting
herself as a short, handsome character, and eventually achieves her ideal self
in the world of Gun Gale Online. Enthralled with her new persona, she throws
herself into the game as LLENN, earning a reputation as a legendary player
assassin. However, when one of LLENN’s targets gets the best of her, she ends
up meeting Pitohui, a skilled but eccentric woman. Pitohui quickly befriends
Karen and insists that LLENN participate in Squad Jam, a free-for-all where
teams are pitted against each other until only one remains. LLENN must fight
with all her wits and will if she wants to rise to the top.
