OEL manga series written byRikki Simons and drawn byTavisha Wolfgarth-Simons , together known as Studio Tavicat; unlike conventional manga, "Reality Check!"'s art is full-color, painted by Rikki Simons (although it appears black-and-white in print). Set in a near-future world of2012 , the story centers on Collin Meeks, a youngcat owner who discovers his cat, Catreece, has been regularly entering the world ofonline virtual reality gaming and the general "VirtualInternet System" (VIS). The story covers the online and offline activities and interactions of the Colin and his friends (including Catreece), who all utilize form of virtual-reality (VR) headgear called a "True Virtual Reality (TVR) Helmet" to experience the futuristic internet and gaming environs.It was originally available online in full color (the pages painted by Rikki Simons) but, after being picked up by
TOKYOPOP in 2003, itsgraphic novel format was printed in black and white, where the series consists of two volumes.Catreece
When Catreece is connected to VIS via the TVR helmet, her avatar takes the form of a
catgirl . Since she has at least near-human intelligence and can communicate with humans through ordinary speech in the online worlds, she is effectively a technologically-enabledwerecat , albeit one which started as a cat rather than human. This rule also applies for Catreece's sister, Mimi, who is not only owned by Lili, the younger sister of Colins' friend Maiko, but also taught Lili everything she learned from an internet hermit.ee also
