INTRODUCTION
What makes you game?
For every 100 amazing games, there are a thousand that are pure crap.
This is the story of Rakuro Hizutome, a man who loves, and is loved by, crappy video games,
and his journey in the world of Shangri-La Frontier, one of the greatest video games of all time.
The original web novel has over 500 million pageviews,
and is unique in that a manga adaptation was begun before the web novel story was released in print.
It also has the honor of being the first manga in Shonen Magazine’s sixty-plus years of history to win the quadruple reader survey crown!
Shangri-La Frontier takes gaming experiences that everyone can relate to and uses them to create an entirely new type of fantasy story.
It’s a story that will bring new adventure and excitement to both adults who can relive their old memories, and young people at the forefront of technology.
The ultimate “Game x Fantasy” story,
about a “crappy game hunter” who challenges one of the greatest games ever made!
