History Manga / RealAccount

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The real account site is destroyed and its sinister creators Masahide and Shin are now dead, thus putting an end to its murderous rampage. Despite that, the dark and toxic side of the internet is still there, as shown by a news report detailing the suicide of two middle schoolers who were harassed by online trolls. After his FaceHeelTurn, Ataru decides to isolate himself from his friends, but he still keeps them updated occasionally. He and his brother, Yuuma, have largely decided to take a break from the Internet, though Yuuma still believes it has a good side.]]

* VirtualReality: The Real Account games take place within the virtual world of social media and can be broadcasted on any electronic device with video capability.[[spoiler:It's revealed much later that the games actually take place in an augmented reality more similar to modern technology's virtual reality. This revelation leaves many questions that have yet to be answered.]]

* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Both Ataru and later Yuuma understood from Masahide Eniguma and their father Shin Kashiwagi's perspective that the internet is full of bad things and is considered toxic but Yuuma counteracts it that there is a good side to internet]]

TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, Japan has been taken by storm by the social network [[TitleDrop Real Account]], commonly called "[=ReaAcc=]" by the populace. [=ReaAcc=] has become an ubiquitous part of the nation's culture, having combined all functions of other [=SNSs=] into one platform and received support from the government, businesses, and the public. The service has become an essential part of everyone's life, and naturally a big concern of many, if not all of its users, is the followers they accrue. The number of followers one possesses is critical to establishing an online standing.

Kashiwagi Ataru may be an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent in real life, but on Real Account, he has over 1500 followers...he gained by falsifying information on his public profile. But hey, at least he's #4 in nationwide score rankings for "No Answer"!

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The real account site is destroyed and their sinister creators Masahide and Shin are now dead thus putting an end to its murderous rampage.

* BystanderEffect: Largely in play and one of the biggest dangers present to the participants. Followers can opt out of following a player ''at any time,'' if they value their lives over his. It's incredibly evident in chapter 1, with people leaving others to die to save themselves and yet not associating their actions as contributing to murder. Considering that the creators intended for the game to be a social experiment, it's not surprising that this was invoked.

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Ataru and his sister Yuri's parents are shown to have died before the start of the series. How Ataru and Yuri get by is so far unexplained, other than evidently having a home and a mention that they are poor.

** [[spoiler: A serial killer who was initially a housewife, whose StartOfDarkness was a burglary gone wrong killing everyone in her family except for herself. While she eventually killed the burglar, she realized that her blood lust was stronger than the love of her family.]]
