Shangri-La Frontier 1, Paperback

A fast-paced, irreverent adventure for fans of isekai and RPGs! High schooler Rakuro loves hunting down trash games, but one day he decides to play a AAA VR game called Shangri-La Frontier instead. He creates a character with a bird head, skips the cutscenes and jumps right in--but what awaits him in this game is different from anything he's ever faced... BIRD-HEAD HAS JOINED THE GAME Second-year high school student Rakuro Hizutome loves nothing more than finding so-called trash games and beating the crap out of them. When he decides to change things up by playing a new, god-tier VR game known as Shangri-La Frontier (a.k.a. SLF), he does what he does best: min-maxes, skips the prologue, and jumps straight into action! Rakuro may be a seasoned gamer, but a meeting with an old rival will change the fate of every SLF player forever. Clad in nothing but shorts and a bird mask, Rakuro (player name: Sunraku) launches into the world of SLF. Things are going well at first as he takes down a goblin, a bunny, and even a python. But then Sunraku comes up against a huge, hard-hitting wolf known as Lycagon the Nightslayer. Will Sunraku's years of trash game experience be enough, or is he about to suffer a rude awakening just a few hours into his SLF adventure?

First released as a web novel in Japan, Shangri-La Frontier is author Katarina's manga debut. Manga artist Ryosuke Fuji is best known for working on the Attack on Titan spinoff, Attack on Titan: Lost Girls, with both volumes published in English by Kodansha.
