Nao-Kichi

A genius manga artist and influencer who participates in the VR game as a way to find inspiration for his next manga.

[Spoiler] After writing one masterpiece, he was never able to release a new manga. All of his subsequent works were shut down by editors and poorly received by the audience. He's been drawing since middle school, so making manga means a lot to him. He is killed within the first VR game after he is betrayed by Eita, and goes insane as a result. [/Spoiler]
