Volume 2 - 2nd and later printings. Story and art by Park Joong-Ki. Translated by the mother/son team of Anna Kirk and Derek Kirk Kim. Marked for death by a jealous king, master warrior-wizard Yarong entrusts the care of his child to Batu, a loyal servant. With Yarong's child in tow, Batu seeks refuge in a nondescript hovel, ready to defend the youngster against the king's sinister henchmen. Help comes from a surprising source-a violent, headstrong young warrior who's also felt the harsh sting of betrayal. Forming an alliance, they pit their wits, sword skills, and brute strength against the king's approaching troops and colorful, ruthless bounty hunters. Shaman Warrior is a brilliantly illustrated, violent fantasy epic with remarkable action scenes, imaginative characters, and moments of pure horror that will appeal to fans of Banya: The Exposive Delivery Man and Blade of the Immortal.

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+)
