Real Account addpermalink

Real Account is an app based on Line, the communication app. Their mascot is Marble. Online: the Comic is based on an rpg game called, Nightmare, on a ps vita/psp console. They're pretty gruesome and mercilessness in the horror attribute and have risky survival rates. Real Account is more goal-orientation party games compared to Nightmare's traditional role-playing game. In anyway, they're dystopia setting about being trapped inside a social game while avoiding death in order to defeat the game.

Dead Tube addpermalink

Oh, my. You two are so different.
Two complementary worlds. Two games with mandatory participation.
Being forced to play a lethal game in Online: The Comic, and yet doing it very voluntarily in Dead Tube.
A sweet art style in Online, and crisp, bloody, mature shots in Dead Tube.
Mystery and the budding of relationships in Online, and bonding, but also betrayal of the most wicked sort, over an eerie common hobby in Dead Tube.
The kind, warm and most caring protagonist of Online, and the murderously twisted and deviant protagonist of Dead Tube.
Mai Yashiro in Online... and Mai Mashiro in Dead Tube.

Darwin's Game addpermalink

Ah, the age of technology! Technology means science to some, automation to others. But there's always that one person who wants to connect the virtual and the real - just for fun.
And fun it is!
Darwin's Game - entertainment and leisure, fun and relaxation, social bonding and connections - with such alluring qualities, all kinds of people are bound to gather if one were to massively spread a social fighting game. ...Which turns out to be real?! And gory?! Beep. Oops. He signed up.
Online: The Comic - entertainment and leisure, fun and relaxation... is what she thought when she opened the mailbox to find a game console! My, how wonderful! ..."If you destroy this console, it will explode," it says. She remembers the blown-apart corpse from the news. If she doesn't play the game, every person dear to her will be slaughtered. If she loses the game, her body will cease functioning, or worse.
Virtual and real... how far apart are these notions? They will find out. read more

Imawa no Kuni no Alice addpermalink

Would you like to stay in a murderous world with games made to break you?
If not, you are welcome to leave, but that will either kill you or everyone who is dear to you. Well, that wouldn't matter after you die, would it?
In Imawa no Kuni no Alice and Online: The Comic, the players of a murderous game are forced to play against other players, or to participate in an MMORPG respectively.
The thing is, however, they don't have to play 24/7! That means there is a world to explore and a regular, or quite irregular, life to live! How thoughtful of the creators!
There are relationships to make. Important problems to solve, and mysteries to delve into.
Neither world offers an apparent escape route, so the participants will have to adapt to their new lives for now.
And such a life... is it really as bad as it sounds once everyone has gotten used to its horrors and peculiarities? read more

Sword Art Online addpermalink

Reading Online:The Comic reminds me of Sword Art Online alot. 

- Leveling system
- Variety of classes but Online: The comic has hundred of jobs to choose from
- killing monsters/ grinding for exp
- if you die in the game you will end up dead in the real world
- goal is to find out who created this mess / meet the creator
- bosses/ HP system
- both are online games

difference

sword art online uses a head device to get into the game, where Online: The Comic uses a PSP-like device to start the game. and can play the game like on psp/ in real life as well. 

online the comic has blood in it while sword art online do not

losing in certain battles may results in loss of functional bodyparts in real life where as sword art online do not.

Corpse Party addpermalink

Well, these two manga's are really similar with each other. If you like one of them, you'll surely like the other.

They both start off with being stuck in a new world. Then they're stuck there. Well, not exactly "stuck" for Online, but it's similar. 

Also, they're both horror. Yeah, it's pretty scary...

Psyren addpermalink

I find an item. I check it out. I'm transported into another world. It's not very safe. No. There's no going back, only forward, to reach the exit.
Fighting to survive in another world, only to find out that the other world is not so different from the original, after all.
Learning that you're not alone. Learning that you can grow stronger, and grow as a person. And that fighting can only get you so far.
Psyren and Online: The Comic. There will be freaky weapons and abilities. Each work presents two worlds to be explored. Of course, there will be bitter-sweet moments, and while Psyren is quite action-heavy with lots of flashy battle scenes and fast-paced hunts, Online further chooses to explore socializing, planning and remembering.
These two worlds complement each other wonderfully. read more

Aphorism addpermalink

Every day is a new game. Be it an actual game which must be played diligently on a daily basis, or an abnormal school life where death awaits should you fail at the extermination of the appointed target - nobody gets off lightly.
Online: The Comic will kindly deliver a brand-new handheld game console to your home - binding you to play the sinister role-playing game saved on it at least once every 24 hours, blasting apart the bodies of those who refuse! If you die in the game, a body part of yours will stop functioning in real life. Are you willing to pay the price to get it back? You'd better, because guess what happens once you have lost every eligible limb and organ...
Aphorism will force its students to choose a kanji-symbol so that they may gain a special power associated with its meaning, to be used for the extermination of abominations which appear out of nowhere to brutally slaughter the students!
How will the participants be able to resist, and what, or who, caused these insane games to exist? read more

Accel World addpermalink

Taking place between the real world and a virtual realm, both series blurs a line between fiction and reality. There is an adequate amount of game mechanics that are involved in their story as well. Both series' main male protagonist has similar personalities and develops a strong friendship with main female protagonist. As the story progresses, we learn more about the online world.

Subtle romance later becomes evident between the two main characters.

Accel World takes on a more straightforward approach with its game elements in a shounen style format. Online: The Comic has more of a psychological way of storytelling as there is also survival involved.
