Shangri-La Frontier Synopsis
High school student Rakurou Hizutome has a peculiar
hobby of playing poorly made games: games that are unbalanced or riddled with
glitches that make them nearly unplayable. The few who share his hobby might
recognize him by his in-game name, Sunraku. For his next game, Rakurou
recommends Shangri-La Frontier, a popular and well-received VR game as a
respite from the terrible games he's been playing lately.
Once he starts the game, Rakurou decides to sell off
most of his starting equipment to earn extra money, leaving him with only a
pair of boxers, a bird mask, and a few weapons. He's instantly hooked and
meticulously levels up his avatar. However, after facing some intimidating
monsters, he realizes that he may have underestimated the challenge that a
conventional game can offer. As Rakurou progresses, he must call upon all of
the skills he's honed from his previous gaming experiences. Before long, Sunraku's
eccentric playstyle takes Shangri-La Frontier by storm.
