Sword Art Online - Project Alicization (manga)

Sword Art Online - Project Alicization (ソードアート・オンライン プロジェクト・アリシゼーション) was a manga adaption of the Sword Art Online light novel series by Kawahara Reki. This adaption covered the first half of the Alicization Arc of the original series, spanning Volumes 9 to 14 of the light novel. The manga was illustrated by Yamada Kōtarō and published on Dengeki Bunko MAGAZINE on a bimonthly and later trimonthly release schedule up to the manga's twenty first chapter, when the Dengeki Bunko MAGAZINE was discontinued upon the release of its seventy-first volume on April 10, 2020. The Project Alicization manga was then moved to online serialisation on WEB DenPlay Comics via Comic Walker and other official manga online hosting services for another nine chapters before, ultimately, being cancelled. The Project Alicization manga continues the story of the Phantom Bullet manga, as well as the Calibur manga and the Mother's Rosario manga. Due to its cancellation, the manga's final chapters were forced to rush the adaptation of the first Alicization sub-arc, leading to an incomplete ending.
