He loved playing this simple game as he can forget painful times while immersed in it.
It was fall. He was passing his time like this until one day, he had an encounter with the school's most beautiful, refined girl, "Snow Black", which changed his life abruptly. Introduced to the software she transmitted, Haruyuki learned about "Accel World." A program that enhances one's mind capabilities, with certain side-effects.
It was the moment the guy on the lowest rung at school became "Burst Linker," protecting the Princess as her knight.
Based on a light novel series by Kawahara Reki.

Kawahara Reki should not be a strange name for those who reads Sword Art Online.
This are three on-going mangas for Accel World (short for Accelerated World) and should be not confused with each other. To those who enjoy virtual reality battles and does not mind a chubby hero should really check this one out. Haruyuki starts off as a weak character that really grows on you. The setting is
very well thought out and spawn from the question that many people must have thought once in their life: what if I can move faster than the world around me? Do not let the tags fool you. The confine of the setting is not just limited to school. There is much more to this Virtual world than just a miracle stopwatch to finish your homework on time. By accepting Hime's offer, Haruyuki is putting more than just his pride at stake.
Note1: Although intended to be a manga thread in the beginning, the interest has shifted to be more light novel oriented.
Post 27 and after contains LN spoilers.
Note2: The heroine of the 3rd manga is the younger sister of a former(?) Nega Nebulas member (who is close enough to know that Kuroyukihime's identity as Black Lotus); the artist is same as Shana's manga.
Note3: http://www22.atwiki.jp/brainburst/ Accel World game guide (spoilers obviously).
