Shangri-La Frontier

In this ongoing Kodansha USA series launched in 2022, Ryosuke Fuji's art brings to life a virtual-reality gaming epic where a jaded player, known for exploiting glitches in "trash games," takes on the ultimate challenge in the revered title Shangri-La Frontier. The story follows his deep dive into a sprawling, lore-rich MMORPG, blending fast-paced action with the thrill of discovery and the camaraderie of online play. With 21 issues so far, the series has become a standout for its clever deconstruction of gaming tropes and its vibrant, character-driven adventure.
