This is the start of SAO Manga, wopping hundreds of pages.I love Sword Art Online. However, what I don't love about it is it's one of those series that messes with the characters too much, getting worse and worse as it goes. The character you love or will fall in love with, you won't see much. The story isn't good, its great. Art is amazing. Love the full color pages! Hard to follow at times but that's because I'm used to chit-chat manga. Needs more fan service. However, you do get it in Sword Art Online Progressive Vol. 1 (Asuna on front).I got this for $12 instead of $20, condition was great. It's really sad I cannot easily obtain the anime or Japanese manga. The anime is free on Netflix, but on DVD or Blu-Ray, it will set you back A LOT of money. By a lot, I mean you could buy 2 Xbox One's. They just don't know how to sell or what to do with this. I'd pay $25 Blu-Ray or $15 DVD for Season 1 Part 1 - Sword Art Online, before Alfiem. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything you know and love from the Aincrad arc, minus side stories and iffy character designs. *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014* I got this in the mail today, and read it all during school today. There's a couple differences to the light novels and the anime. One major one is obviously the character designs. I don't know what "abec" was thinking, but I wasn't a fan at all. Characters like Klein, Agil, and Sachi look scary different. But there was some positives! Asuna got a lot more adorable, and I only liked Heathcliff's design because it wasn't that much different from the original. Now for the story. Yen Press threw the 2 volumes released into a big volume for the English release, and the price tells you that basically. This manga covers the first arc, Aincrad, or volumes 1 and 2 of the light novel series. This adaptation has almost everything the light novels have, but a lot of the side story stuff was cut. When Kirito first joins a guild (Sachi and all of those other unimportant people) that little bit is cut down A LOT, there is no Silica and Lisbeth, and the whole little thing with murder in the safe zone and whatnot isn't there either. And where Kirito first gets the title of "Beater", that part is, for some reason, skipped. There's probably a lot more missing, but anyone that has watched the anime or read the novels will know what is missing. Besides that, there is little tweaks in the main story but it's still the same tearful ending that I enjoy immensely. This manga was well worth the price just because the Aincrad arc was amazing and I love SAO in general. If you want the original light novel, April 22nd is when the 1st volume releases. Hope this helped! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great story, but where's the kindle LN? *by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016* Love the manga, but why can't we have the same light novel sold on Amazon available for kindle? It makes no logical sense. They have the LN paperback and the kindle manga lumped together even tho they aren't remotely the same. I'd buy both, I'd just like the option. I'd really prefer to read the LN first, rather than the manga. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/109253658-sword-art-online-aincrad-vol-1-manga-sword-art-online](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/109253658-sword-art-online-aincrad-vol-1-manga-sword-art-online) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
