Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Novel Vol. 15
FUN IN THE SUN!
Everyone’s favorite bear, Yuna, is living it up with her friends on a seaside getaway in Mileela, but there doesn’t seem to be enough time in the world to enjoy all the summer activities! When Yuna learns of a mysterious moving island that suddenly appeared off the coast of Mileela, she’s unable to contain her curiosity. After creating a distraction, Yuna makes way for the strange island—and a new adventure. However, the island surpasses even her wildest imagination, containing an abundance of nature and powerful monsters ready to attack. Will Yuna and company make it through their vacation unscathed?
Fifteen-year-old Yuna prefers staying home and obsessively playing her favorite VRMMO game to doing anything else, including going to school. When a strange new update gives her a one-of-a-kind bear outfit that comes with overpowered abilities, Yuna is torn: the outfit is unbearably cute, but too embarrassing to wear in-game. But then she suddenly finds herself transported into the world of the game, facing down monsters and magic for real, and the bear suit becomes the best weapon she has!
