Arriving at Anicomi Corp. on September 23, volume 1 of the manga Sword Art Online – Re: Aincrad gets a 25-euro collector's box featuring a silver-foiled cover, a three-tier acrylic standee (140x200mm), and two official metal pins representing the iconic swords Elucidator and Lambent Light. Serialized in Japan since 2021 in Comic Dengeki Daioh (script by Mito Sato, art by Kimi, based on Reki Kawahara's original light novel begun in 2009), this new adaptation retells the very first SAO arc at a less rushed pace, promising deeper psychological exploration of protagonists Kirito and Asuna.
