By Tokuhiro Masaya : Kyoushirou 2030

Kyousirou 2030 #1"Kyousirou 2030" final volume finally went out. I love this manga but the impression of final volume is thin somehow.

I'm gonna introduce "The world of Kyoushirou".
In near future, Japan are being ruled by some men through New World War. There is a Super-administered society with strong social hierarchy that is centered on army. Men and women are isolated and engaged in the farm labor etc. With only a handy virtual reality machine : the amusement. Most people have virtual experience of sexual perversion with the machine, hero = Kyoushirou is too shy to talk to the virtual girl in the virtual "Edo city" ,that means Tokyo in hundreds-of-years-old, and always perseveres in a military art of sword. He lives in Tokyo and his real occupation is a policeman. And his skill of military arts is the five-stars--why it is so, it turns out as the story develops.

At the same time, heroine = Yurika ,who does the work of the programming of the virtual machine in the army underground central base in Hokkaido far from Tokyo, while checking many user's worlds of virtual machines, finds Kyoushiro by chance.
She likes tha man who is stoic, gentle, missing a few screws, and impossible to hate. And as a virtual girl, she enters the virtual Edo world of Kyoushirou.
Later, Kyoushirou finds Yurika really exists. He asks her hand in marriage , and Kyoushirou and Yurika that have not been met quite actually become married couples.

Kyoushirou knows that Yurika's real life is in quite misery, he starts on a journey to Hokkaido for saving Yurika. He has two partners of the journey. The management computer of virtual machine = Asuka and genius dog with genius scientist's brain = Babenske are. The possibility of the rescuing Yurica that Asuka calculated is "0%". Can Kyoushirou meet Yurika and save her...

These 20 volume stories were published. However, to me, the story got to the certain measure of ending at volume 18 in which Kyousirou meets real Yurika.
Though I have a little bit of dissatisfaction with last several volumes,
from a big point of view, I think this manga must be the considerable masterpiece.

Please note this manga is not only very romantic and moving, but also violent, erotic and nonsense.
