This week for Manga Monday I’m covering a side story to a very popular series. It’s Sword Art Online – Girls Ops by Kawahara Reki!

Plot Synopsis: This series covers the adventures of the other heroines in their adventures both inside ALO and outside in their daily lives.

Plot: The plot’s decent, nothing super amazing. But it makes for a decent side story, as it isn’t focused on Kirito. That being said if Sinon was a part of this series it’d be a heck of a lot better. Sadly she’s not.

Characters: We get to meet a new character, but I won’t spoil by talking about it. They are decent though. That being said I don’t particularly like any of the characters with the exception of Lisbeth. She just doesn’t get on my nerves as much as the others.

Art: It’s got the standard SAO artwork, so it’s pretty good.

Overall: This is a skippable side story, but if you love Sword Art Online you might wanna give it a read.
