Premise
[edit]Yuna is a bored teenage girl who spends her time as a NEET and living off money she makes in the stock market, being mooched off by her parents. While playing her favorite FPV online game World Fantasy Online, Yuna receives an embarrassing bear suit as a gift for playing so long. The administrator of the game turns out to be a God, who based the game on her world. She then transports Yuna into said world without a real warning with the bear suit, which she is powerless without as it grants her special powers. Despite her initial anger at being teleported without consent, and that there is no way back to her old world, Yuna quickly adapts and finds her new life more fulfilling than the empty one back on Earth as her actions cause her to rise in fame.
Characters
[edit]- Yuna (ユナ)
- Voiced by: Maki Kawase[3] (Japanese); Marissa Lenti[4] (English)
- Yuna is a 15-year-old girl who lives by herself. Given her finances, she chose to become socially withdrawn at age twelve to play World Fantasy Online as much as possible, and was eventually transported to an alternate world that is identical to the game itself. She decides to enjoy her new life in the new world since she did not have any reason to go back to her original world (as there is no way back), though she loathes the fact God made all her powers be linked to an embarrassing bear suit, which also comes with bear-like gloves and shoes that resemble bear feet. Underneath her bear suit is bear underwear that never gets dirty. She has to use bear imagery with her magic to make it stronger. To her frustrated resignation, Yuna finds everyone uses the motif of her suit for things associated with her. She soon becomes famous for her heroics and is adored by many young women and royals.
- Yuna had her fortune transported with her, leaving her very rich; though she's frugal enough to not spend unless she needs to.

As noted by her mother and Yuna, Fina has an unusual mentality for a 10-year-old. She met Yuna after she rescued her from wolves and later became her work partner. Thanks to Yuna having a ridiculously amount of monsters for her to harvest, courtesy of her item bag, Fina is no longer hurting for money; getting 50% of all harvested material sales. Her closeness to Yuna shows Fina thinks of her as family.
