Synopsis
Rakuro Hizutome is a connoisseur of failure—specifically, the kind encoded into 'shitty games,' which he has mastered with the thoroughness of a dedicated scholar. Give him a broken, glitchy, barely-functional nightmare of a title, and he will beat it into submission through pure creative problem-solving. Then someone hands him Shangri-La Frontier—a genuinely excellent, genuinely massive, god-tier VR MMO that gives his unusual gaming style something worthy to fight. Shangri-La Frontier is a gaming manga that understands both game design and narrative craft with equal depth, and executes both with relentless forward energy. **Ongoing—releases weekly in Weekly Shōnen Magazine (Kodansha), available through MANGA Plus.**
