A recent
leak has claimed that the anime adaptation of the manga “ Shangri-La Frontier: Crappy Game
Hunter Challenges God-Tier Game ” will be getting a third season.
Although the information is still pending official confirmation and there is
still quite a while until the current season concludes, it comes from a
source that has proven to be more than reliable in previous leaks.
For his
part, Ryousuke Fuji began publishing the “ Shangri-La
Frontier ” manga in Kodansha 's Weekly Shonen
Magazine in July 2020. The manga is based on the novel series of the
same name written by Katarina , which have been published
through the Shousetsuka ni Narou site since May 2017. Katarina
also wrote an additional series of novels that were published in Weekly
Shonen Magazine itself .
The work
has more than 10 million copies in circulation to date and an anime adaptation
produced by C2C studios , with a first season released
in Autumn-2023 (October-December) , followed by a second
in Autumn-2024 , which will total 50 episodes when it ends.
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
make 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.
