Reality Becomes a Virtual Nightmare.
When 14 year-old Akihiko found the name "Reiko Hongo" on the envelope sent to him, he couldn't believe his eyes. This was the name Akihiko had given the girl of his dreams, a virtual idol created on his computer. From that day on, his life would never be the same: his best friend is suddenly distant and indifferent and creepy-looking men encircle him and take photos.
One night, he sees his own lookalike -- another Akihiko -- entering his own house. His town has been taken over inconceivably by humanoid "replicants" -- androids who exist within cyberspace! Akihiko must fight to redraw the line between man and machine inside an arcane vision of the future. |
