失楽園
Himoto Sora arrives at Utopia Gakuen as a transfer student, carrying a strong sense of justice and the dream of becoming a knight. It does not take her long to discover that the school hides a virtual reality game played by the male students, who deploy girls as weapons in battles for status and treat them as commodities.
When Sora sees one of these girls being abused, she steps in without hesitation. The intervention goes wrong, and some sort of error throws her into the game itself, making her the first female participant it has ever had.
The game is run by male students who treat girls as commodities, and Sora now moves through it as the only female player, an anomaly in a system that was never meant to include her. She must learn how its battles work and what they cost while deciding how far her sense of justice can carry her in a place that calls itself a utopia.
