When told she was destined to be cannon fodder in the current hit Jump manga, Haruhi didn't care.

After all, who would believe that the world they had always lived in was actually a manga?

It wasn't until she died after the Chunin Ninja Exams that she finally went to look through the manga.

Across all 700 chapters, Haruhi had been killed off as cannon fodder by chapter 40.

She looked at the screen filled with comments like [Sasuke is my husband] and [NaruSaku is so good].

Then she looked at her own corpse in the very corner of the manga, eyes still open in death and covered by a thick layer of mosaic.

There were only a few scattered comments: [What a shame about that girl] and [That's pretty tragic].

Haruhi fell silent.

While she was wandering the world as a homeless ghost, living off the land, something calling itself the System told her that becoming a popular manga character would earn her freedom.

She chose to pick up her kunai again.

With an opportunity right in front of her, why not give it a try?

Haruhi had always had only one goal: to stay alive.

-

Haruhi diligently carried out her missions, a model worker of the new age.

But after a long time, she began to realize that the companions who once fought alongside her had changed.

Her blond, whiskered best friend gazed at her with stubborn determination. "I'll save you, Aoi."

The gloomy, brother-obsessed black-haired man gently gripped her neck. "Aoi, you're the one who's truly on my side."

The pink-haired girl, full of girlfriend energy, scooped her up. "Aoi-chan, I've always felt..."

And there was the silver-haired man with dead-fish eyes, the high-IQ pineapple head, and the gloomy little panda with dark circles...

There was even that strange man in the Spiral Mask, who was always secretly watching her from the shadows.

Even someone else's spiky-haired ancestor looked at her and said:

"Aoi, you've finally... come back to me."
