Real Account 21-22 cover

In Real Account 21-22, Ataru and Yuri face a deadly game that intertwines their lives with their social media followers, testing loyalty and survival.

In Real Account 21-22, we follow the gripping journey of Ataru Kashiwagi and his younger sister, Yuri, who are left to navigate life after the tragic loss of their parents. The siblings lean on each other for support as Ataru juggles the demands of high school, a part-time job, and his growing presence on the social media platform known as Real Account. As he amasses a following of 1,500, he begins to question the authenticity of these connections, pondering how many of his followers genuinely care about him. This internal conflict sets the stage for the unfolding drama.

One fateful night, Ataru's world is turned upside down when the platform's interface glitches, ominously announcing, 'The Game Will Now Begin.' Suddenly, he finds himself in a surreal 3-D lobby, a stark contrast to the familiar screen of Real Account. The cheerful yet sinister character Marble greets him, setting the stakes high with a chilling warning: if you die in this game, you die in real life, and so do all your followers. This revelation thrusts Ataru and Yuri into a deadly competition where survival is paramount, and the bonds of trust and loyalty will be tested.

As the siblings navigate this treacherous new reality, they must confront not only the dangers posed by the game itself but also the complexities of their relationships with their followers. Real Account 21-22 explores themes of connection, vulnerability, and the consequences of social media in a world where the line between virtual and reality blurs dangerously.
