Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear (Novel) Vol. 19

RACE AGAINST TIME

As the revival of a monstrous snake known as the orochi imperils the Land of Wa, the shrine maiden Sakura declares Yuna their prophesied savior. Together with Kagari, current protector of the seal that keeps the orochi imprisoned, Yuna embarks on a journey that will take them all the way from the Land of Wa to the elven village. With the clock ticking on the orochi’s revival, the fate of a nation rests on Yuna’s shoulders! Can she pull off a miracle—or is the Land of Wa doomed?

Series Overview: 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!
