When a missing girl reappears in a comic, Jimmy tries to save her with the Reality Converter – but he must pay the ultimate price.
Jimmy, an Englishman living in Tokyo, finally builds up the courage to ask out his language exchange partner, Hitomi . . . but she doesn’t show for their weekly coffee shop session. After seeing her alarming last tweet he persuades his geeky friend Brian to help him search for her.
First he is surprised to discover she works as a bunny girl for Dragon Neck – a notorious gangster and collector of pickled body parts. Then he can’t believe his eyes when, after meeting her best friend Reiko who works in a manga café, to see the drawing of a girl identical to Hitomi in Brian’s favourite comic.
Hitomi’s brother Koji works at Giant Electronics and has access to the prototype Reality Converter. This enables them to journey across strange lands, encountering giant vegetable people, mind-draining frogs and the chemical-spewing demon factory. Jimmy is determined to rescue the girl of his dreams, but is he truly prepared for what he must sacrifice?
