Sword Art Online: Kiss and Fly The manga volumes mainly focus on relationships in society. SAO sherry. For example, much of the first volume focuses on: Kirito and Asuna.

This also means we can see Sword Art Online: Kiss and Fly The manga’s “Sisters’ Prayer” story touches on a different subject. Are these VR games valuable?
