After the death of their parents, Ataru Kashiwagi and his younger sister, Yuri, depend on each other. Ataru works hard at high school and his job, and spends his leisure time on a social media site- Real Account. Eventually, he hits 1,500 followers, but he sometimes wonders how much they really care about him. One night, the screen ominously begins to glitch, only displaying- The Game Will Now Begin. In the blink of an eye, Ataru finds himself transported into Real Account's loading screen - except now it's a 3-D lobby! Before them stands Marble, the smiley-faced announcer. With a sinister cheerfulness, Marble says, "If you die in here, you die out there...and so do all your followers!" A STICKY SITUATION Yuma, Ayame, and the other players trapped in Real Account are suffering from mental and physical exhaustion as the "Reply or Regret" game drags on. As they fight to stay awake, a game changer arrives in the form of "stickers." Collecting these emoticon images may be the key to outsmarting the game, but Yuma has more than just Marble working against him. On top of the threat of the Real Account servers getting shut down, anunpredictable and sadistic player has his sights set on Yuma...andhe won't stop until Yuma is in complete despair!
