Sword Art Online Progressive, Vol. 5 (manga) (Sword Art Online Progressive Manga, 5)

I am really enjoying this manga beyond belief, while I'm a little bias for anything with a theme of Sword, Fighting Romance specially like kirito and asuna and not non progressive harems, in this theme this story is still the best. And the new elf addition is much to my liking.2 extra point i wanna mention here one in respond to another reviewer and one to Amazon's staff.SAOP story being a little different from original SAO is to be expected, as author himself said he will change some to make story better, as high following too closely just restrict his hand into making some well needed chlange, so count this as a light reboot.And to Amazon staff I got a complain,It seems there was a bug from amazon's digital delivery service for this book as it gave people superman's comic, they swiftly fixed the problem so it's good work on their part,Yet we got like half the reviews from ppl who had this bug, giving this a 1 star resulting a 3 out of 5, while all non superman related reviews are 5 star with only one 4 start ! (at this date)So it's not really doing justice for this story.I know they can't just remove the review due to policy, but it would be good if amazon stuff would at least send as email to reviewers and ask for a revalue since it was their fault to began with.Sorry for the small rant :DThanks.

The media could not be loaded.  It awesome can’t wait to read the 5th part but just came in with some small rough edges which I was a lil upset and wish it can be handled more carefully next time :/ but besides that great 4 stars

When I started reading this series, I was first taken by the assume three diminshonal art. Then I began to appreciate the point of view change from Reki Kawahara's original work. In every story, there's my version and your version, then there is the truth. The Author is careful in his naritive to note from time to time that these are reminises from "later, a long time later". Myself, I'm enjoying Asuna's version of events a lot more so far, from the more detailed Argo involvement to Asuna's acquisition of martial arts. I've been somewhat frustrated at times by Mr. Kawahara's tendancy to fast forward the story line.(I thought the whole point of SAOP was to give his fanatical fans more of the juicy details we love!?!). Great work on the elvish back story,guys!

Got a hard copy delivered to PO Box just fine. Guess it could be a glitch that's causing people to receive the wrong book via the method of digital delivery? D:If you guys received the wrong book via digital delivery, try reaching out to Amazon Support and see if they can correct the issue, if they can't, I'm sure they will escalate your ticket to someone who will be able to resolve the matter! :DAnyways, the book was a great read since the Progressive Arc focuses a lot more on Asuna's backstory and the development of supporting characters that influence the main cast.

This is a amazing piece of the Sao progressive series and the SAO series in general. This volume does an excellent job implementing quest progression in SAO as well as challenge Kirito’s and Asuna’s morality when it comes to NPCs. Personally I believe this is one of the best volumes of progressive and it does an amazing job implementing new characters.

Update: After chatting with customer support, they were so kind as to provide the updated (fixed) book to my device. Annoyed with the goof but glad this was reasonably simple to have corrected.Original review: Somehow when this downloaded to my device, I ended up with a Superman volume 148 comic. Interesting, but not that great a read.

EDIT: The issue where the manga was actually a Superman comic upon download was fixed for me imediately by Amazon support via chat.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm really happy to be able to continue the retold and reimagined story of Clark Kent's deadly journey through the flying castle AincraWAIT A SECOND

Superman comic here as well. I'm guessing Amazon listed the wrong item in their system.Edit; this has since been fixed, at least for me.

Esse volume introduz novos personagens que resultarão em novas aventuras e conflitos. Como sempre a interação entre Asuna e Kirito continua muito boa e as cenas de ação excelentes!

I love this anime so I wanted to grab the mangas and this came well packaged and in good condition, well worth the buy!

The Progressive arc fills in the blanks between the all too brief anime episodes and tells more of the story from Asuna's viewpoint.So far the Light novels are way ahead of the manga, but the manga itself is fleshing out the story even further with more content and further plot and background. The amount of depth this is building is beyond excellent.The biggest lesson from all of this is that the SAO anime needs a rework based on this Progressive series, much as Fullmetal Alchemist and Hellsing have enjoyed in recent years.Sadly the work on the manga and Light novels proceeds slowly, and I expect to be a greybeard by the time that happens. Oh well, it'll be worth the wait...

I just bought this randomly and I didnt understand what was going on but now I do know that there were elves in SAO too and not only in ALO..

A really interesting and fun read, the only problem is that it is way to clear that this is a sequel to the first four novels. Also asuna is writing a bit off.
