Originally published in Japan in .hack//the magazine, this manga centers on the many trials and tribulations of players of the online game "The World." Hard science fiction meets existential crises as we ask the question, who has more of a right to exist: man or AI? And is this streamlined retelling of the .hack tetralogy worthy of your time, or is it as dated as Y2K?
