A shy university student in Tokyo, Karen Kohiruimaki stands in stark contrast to her in-game avatar—in fact, she happens to stand above everyone else too, much to her dismay. Towering above all the people around her, Karen's insecurities over her height reach the point where she turns to the virtual world for an escape. Starting game after game in hopes of manifesting as a cute, short character, she finally obtains her ideal self in the world of Gun Gale Online. Overjoyed by her new persona, she pours her time into the game as LLENN, garnering her reputation as the legendary player killer. However, when one of LLENN's targets gets the best of her, she ends up meeting Pitohui, a skilled yet eccentric woman. Pitohui insists that LLENN participates in Squad Jam, a battle royale. Thrust into the heated competition, LLENN must fight with all her wit and will if she hopes to shoot her way to the top.

"Such a cute and great show, even if it's predictable. If you like SAO (Sword Art Online), you will enjoy this one as it's set in the same world, but also different ofc."

"Does anyone know if this was cancelled for some reason I couldn't get into SWA but I loved GGO"

AJ Gentry

"One of my favorite show! Is set in the same world as sword art online but is a lot easier to track the plot and was super interesting and action filled!"

"This falls far short of the original, but it's not bad. LLENN is a cute character and easy to cheer on. The twist they add to insert the obligatory SAO life stakes just doesn't land for me. It gets a little weird."

Ryan Mann

"Personally I enjoyed this more than the original Sao because of the fact that the main character seems to have more personally and doesn't feel like a flat regular cut and paste like kirito does. I love the idea of it taking place in ggo instead of somewhere in Sao or alfheim because kirito doesn't spend as much time there as in the other two places mentioned. I also really enjoyed how the main character is able to use her avatars shortness to her advantage. I do suggest if you enjoyed saos ggo arc! "
