    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.

A chance encounter with Lycagon presents a huge opportunity for Sunraku to take down the beast who forced him to run around the game half naked. However, attacking one of the most powerful existences in SLF without loading up on healing and mana potions is enormously risky. Sunraku usually is up to any challenge, but this time, its Rei who provides inspiration and encouragement. The two unlikely companions go for glory against Lycagon in the name of having fun!!

    Volume 12 - 1st printing. Written by Katarina. Art and cover by Ryosuke Fuji. Translated by Kevin Gifford. While looking to gather information about Ctarnidd, Sunraku unintentionally gets thrown into a bonus scenario that seems lethally dangerous. Alone in an undersea city full of vicious enemies and separated from his party, Sunraku has 170 hours to clear the scenario. Fortunately, Sunraku meets Araba, a friendly NPC. Araba helps Sunraku get a better understanding of the environment and together they begin the search for Sunrakus friends. However, time is limited and Sunraku must honor his promise with Katzo to fight in the GGC. Logging off to go fight in a pro gaming competition might be what ultimately ruins Sunrakus chances of clearing the scenario, but with his party members holding the fort, perhaps theres a chance!
