Plot

An incident that occurred in VR MMORPG Sword Art Online, where 10,000 players were trapped in the game on launch day, has been the reason the popularity of VR games has plummeted due to fear of similar incidents or accidents happening with such a massive player base in fear of being trapped inside of the working of a game. The initial VR device for the game was destroyed and broken, in replacement of it, it’s successor, the Amusphere was released.

With such changes, VR games began regaining their lost popularity and fan base.

The story follows Karen Kohiruimaki, a university student with an insecure complexity about her abnormal height, which she believes she doesn’t fit in society because of. She begins playing a VR game called Gun Gale Online after it gives her the short, cute avatar that she has always wanted and desired to for once feel normal about herself and the way she is.
