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.

MONSTER HUNTER
 
Yuma and Ayame are working on different teams to beat the I.D.

After the game’s bloody conclusion, another twisted creation awaits the winners: Real Account Go. Players must catch all of Marble’s video game-inspired monsters before time runs out, and 0% phone battery means death. Despite these threats, an old friend reunites with Yuma’s group, and there may even be a romance blooming—but can a good thing ever last in the Real Account world?

HAPPILY NEVER AFTER

With the threat of the Derp Marbles growing stronger, Yuma’s goal to discover his true identity becomes second to another: destroy Real Account. Reunited with Chiho and Nanako, and with just 27 hours remaining in Social-Network Tag, they struggle to find out what Marble, and Real Account, have been after. Along the way, they uncover unexpected answers–like the identity of the Derp Marbles, their connection to Yuma’s family, and the true purpose of Real Account. The end of the game may be in sight, but reality can’t be wrapped up so neatly.

LINKS TO THE PAST
 
The vast game of Social-Network Tag continues to unfold in the real world—and in the middle of it, Yuma visits the Kashiwagi residence to unravel the mysteries surrounding his past. As his memories begin flooding back, he is greeted by a familiar face—his twin brother, Ataru! But this heartfelt reunion is anything but as Ataru kicks off a violent battle with Yuma. Who will prevail in this deadly fight between long-lost siblings, and will Yuma be able to discover the secrets of the Kashiwagi clan and his own identity?

In “Operation: Reply or Regret” they’ll slowly lose sleep or their sanity when faced with the threat of instant death for not replying to messages that could come at a moment’s notice. What tricks will Yuma and Ayame pull off this time in the nonstop bloodbath that is Real Account?
