    Volume 1 - 1st printing.

    Written by Katarina. Art and cover by Ryosuke Fuji. Translated by Kevin Gifford.

    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 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?

    Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 200 pages, B&W. Older Teen (16+)

    Cover price $12.99.

    Volume 3 - 1st printing. Written by Katarina. Art and cover by Ryosuke Fuji. Translated by Kevin Gifford. It's a strange world we live in, but surely we're forgiven if we don't know where to turn. Having survived a fierce attack by one of the Shangri-La Frontier PK clans, Sunraku goes into the fighting ring against ten powerful monsters as part of a unique scenario. He barely escapes with his life, only to then receive an invitation from his gamer friend Pencilgon to help her take down a unique monster known as Wethermon the Tombguard. With Wethermon still undefeated by any of the game's 30 million players, Sunraku may have bitten off more than he can chew! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W. Older Teen (16+) Cover price $12.99.
