This week for Translation Necessary Thursday I’m covering a new series that I read the first volume of a couple days ago. It’s all about TNT: CtG—Zero Kara Sodateru Dennou Shoujo, or CtG Raising from Zero a Digital Girl in English roughly, Volume 01 by Gangudou!

Plot Synopsis: In VRMMO -CtG- (Cradle to the Glaive), Kasugai Yuu has <married> Mifa, a girl he just met. After that, their daughter Haruha was born and grown!? Moreover…

“I’ve come, daddy!”

“K-Kugimiya!”

In the real world, the real Haruha, along with the real Mifa – Kugimiya Miharu – suddenly appeared!

Plot: The plot is very good, and while it’s not an entirely new premise, it is nonetheless an incredibly heartwarming series. I loved this first volume so much that I didn’t even put the book down until I was done after I started reading.

Characters: Yuu and Miharu are amazingly well done leads and while their romance is obvious to pretty much anyone else other than them, it doesn’t mean you don’t root for them while reading this volume. Haruha is also pretty freaking awesome, in her own ways. I’ll leave it at that concerning her, but the rest of the cast is equally as good.

Art: The artwork in this series is pretty great, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this get an Anime adaptation in a year or two.

Overall: This isn’t a must read, but if you feel at all depressed or down emotionally this will lift your spirits right back up. If you enjoy romance as well, this will be good a read.

For those who like: Action, Romance, Drama, Tough Questions, Amazing Cast of Characters, Fantastic Plot, Excellent Art.

Not for those who don’t like: Any of the above, but how can you hate all that?
