BTOOOM! Manga Gets Anime Adaptation; Anime Promoted With Sultry Collectibles

Japanese animation studio, MADHOUSE Inc. (株式会社 マッドハウス), confirms news on adapting Inoue Junya’s manga “BTOOOM!” into an anime series. The ongoing manga series tells the story of Ryuuta Sakamoto. Sakamoto is 22-years-old, unemployed and he lives with his mother. He may not be so special in real life but is otherwise so in the realm on online gaming where he reigns supreme as the top player in the video game BTOOOM!.

Things suddenly change when he wakes up in an island without any memory of how, or even why, he got there. Sakamoto wanders around the island until he saw someone and he asked for help. The person whom he seeked for help, however, threw him a bomb. Sakamoto then realizes that he is living the real-live version video game he is so good at.
