Finally it's getting extremely interesting again. We'll know wtf Real Account is.
And I wish she would literally confess already, why wait.
Having read it's 2nd season on my cellphone with the Manga Rock App, I only noticed there were two mangas when I started rereading it on my laptop. Which resulted in researching and spoiling myself about the main character's later on coma and changed memory of sorts.
_____________________________________
Real Account, a popular social network that almost everyone has on their cellphones. Until one day, it becomes a game of life or death.
With their brains connected to the game. And if they die in the games, they die in real life. Only if you complete all the games will you survive and get out alive. And if they die, their followers die mysterious deaths with them.
And so our unlucky protagonist Ataru while having a normal evening with his sister ends up in the game... And before the games start, the followers have 3 minutes to unfollow so they don't die with the Players. And it's all in LIVE Broadcast for everyone to see.
[Chapter 1:]
Her sister along side him vows to stay with him, and that he comes back. But he blocks her so she doesn't die with him. And unlucky, someone kept following him. He lives.
[Chapter 2:]
Game #1. No Answer. 5 Judges will judge the contestant's looks. And if the contestants picked right, they survive. Marble presents a celebrity in the bunch, Ichijou Ruriri. A net idol. Ataru saves her with his speech after her fan learn how ugly she is without makeup or photoshop. She follows him as thanks. ...Somehow, Yuri!?
[Chapter 3:]
Somehow his sister Yuri is in the game as well! But wait!? Its only a girl who looks like his sister, Koyori. But ... the person sounds like a guy who looks like a girl who's cross dressing, maybe. One of the judges lie which kills all the judges. And so new judges are picked, Koyori included. Ataru gathers up the contestants to help each other judge their looks. But he missed another method.
[Chapter 4:]

[Chapter 5:]
Somehow, Yuri's doorbell rings, and its Marble in front of her door. Marble gives them a break until tomorrow and lets them in the Real Account Resort. What I don't get is how they can eat and sleep in there when it's only their brain that is stuck in this dimension.
[Chapter 6:]
... Seems Yuri was knocked out by Marble and kidnapped her brother's body. Ataru unblocks Yuri. And Yuri tries her best to find his body.
[Chapter 7:]

Even though Ataru saves this Hoshino Aiji from losing his last follower, gets punched by him. Seems he's fake. Than he steals Koyori's first kiss. Wow, what a way to create a despising character. Seems he loves the thrill of danger. So he purposely tries to kill himself. Aiji reveals a dark past post from Ataru. "I've killed someone. With my own hands, I've killed someone." No way...
But, to survive, he reveal his dark past.
[Chapter 8:]
Seems Ataru had a twin brother, who looks a lot like him. I'm pretty sure he's Koyori then. Ataru was very popular in elementary school. While his brother wasn't. They can easily be mistaken for each other. Switching places to boost his confidence, Yuuma can finally be himself. But then Yuuma died... hit by a truck. When actually, Ataru saved his brother Yuuma. So ... "Ataru", is our Yuuma, and he's only pretending to be his brother. Wow. A psychological trauma. And so he admits of being jealous of his brother Ataru. His sister unfollowed him. Yuri calls him, and tells him that she always knew.
[Chapter 9:]
Ruriri dies from Aiji's hands.
[Chapter 10:]
The Real Yuuma realizes that he should of died if Ruriri died, but what he doesn't remember is that he forgot to follow her even though he planned to. At a loss for shame, Koyori kisses him to comfort him.
When the rankings are showed, 4th place is the real Ataru, with a scar on his forehead.
[Chapter 11:]

[Chapter 17:]
As the real Ataru and Ayame relax in the Real Account Resort, they have fun on the amusement park. Like a date. For some reason after she "leaves to the toilet" she cracks and cries alone. I guess she was trying to cheer herself up while she's actually terrified.
