Light novel Demon's Crest gets image and plot synopsis. New work from the author of Sword Art Online will address the concept of mixed reality.



 The Dengeki Bunko publishing label has released the finished illustration of the 1st volume of Demon's Crest (Democre), a new creation by Reki Kawahara illustrated by artist Yukiko Horiguchi.

Containing 328 pages the light novel will arrive in Japan on November 10, 2022, and is on pre-order at a cost of ¥726.00 

Demon's Crest will be heavily influenced by Kawahara's Sword Art Online, the main work that made it famous, but now promising to tackle the concept of mixed reality.

Bringing younger characters, the story will follow Yuma Ashihara, a pre-teen boy who, along with his little sister Sawa, decides to test a new virtual reality game as tangible as reality.

There they meet Sumika Watamaki, the most popular girl in school who is scared and does not understand the situation. Suddenly they are "disconnected" from the game and notice that reality has merged with the virtual world bringing its facilities and dangers.

A short teaser of the novel was presented as well as the main characters (check it out below). In addition to "Sword Art Online", Kawahara is remembered for works of similar genre such as "Accel World" and "Zettai Naru Isolator".

Yukiko Horiguchi has worked for several years with Kyoto Animation studio having played the roles of designer, animator and animation director in series such as "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu", "Kannon", "Lucky Star", "K-On!" and "Tamako Love Story" among others.
