Around 1-3 years ago, I found an interesting manga in my local library, but I
didn't bring my library card with me. The following week, I returned to borrow
it to read, but of course it was gone :/

Things I remember is:

  * The manga was based in a game world or VR.
  * They were not trapped like SAO, rather it was a really good VR.
  * There was a boy and girl, and they were brother and sister.
  * The brother complained about his sister's lewd or ecchi outfit, and it was a running gag where he challenged people who hit on her.

The story content included:

  * Finding a phoenix down to save someone
  * A cute hippo-like pet, which could be grown into a mount. (One of the side/main characters had one of these, and he was kinda an arsehole)
  * There was a race and people was swimming in it

It has been translated into English, because it's in my local library and I
live in the UK.

.hack
A manga about the adventure of a pair of brother and sister in a game world


I believe you are looking for [**_.hack//Legend of the
Twilight_**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//Legend_of_the_Twilight).

  * It's about a game called _The World_.
  * People can freely log out, including the main characters.
  * The main characters are a boy named Shugo and his twin sister Rena.
  * Rena's outfit is quite revealing.
  * There are hippo-like creatures, called _Piikey_. Hotaru, one of the female side characters, has one as a pet. Komiyan the Third, one of the male side character, uses one as a mount. Both main characters find Komiyan annoying.
  * The Phoenix Down (aka Phoenix Feather) is used to save the life of Hotaru's Piikey.
  * One of the GMs (Game Masters) loves to organize events. One of those, I faintly remember being a race involving swimming.
