Characters

Shigeru Mikami (三神 シゲル, Mikami Shigeru) is a high school student who spends his time trying to develop the perfect visual novel video game. When he plays a new game called "[Not Alive]" that he picked up seemingly by accident when he rushed in the subway later on he finds himself pulled literally into the game and out of the flow of time as a "Player". Sharing a form in-game with former-Player-turned-Avatar Kyouka Amamiya (天宮 鏡花, Amamiya Kyōka), Shigeru must participate in a survival game where losing will means that Kyouka Amamiya will die and Mikami Shigeru will become an avatar.[3][4]
