The Team and Journey Behind Shangri-La Frontier

The inaugural season of Shangri-La Frontier was a product of C2C Studio’s creativity, steered by Director Toshiyuki Kubooka, known for his works on "Wandering Witch – The Journey of Elaina". Carrying the scriptwriting baton, and also supervising the overall writing was Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, whose notable involvement in "Black Clover", "Dropkick on My Devil!", and "Record of Ragnarok" speak volumes of his prowess. The beautifully composed musical pieces were crafted by Monaca. The series is originally a web novel brainchild of Katarina and later transformed into a manga adaptation by Ryosuke Fuji under the wings of English publisher, Kodansha.

The plot orbits around a high school boy Rakurō Hizutome, who spends every moment he can hunting for, and conquering, low-rated games. When introduced to the new VR game Shangri-La Frontier, Rakurō deploys his seasoned gaming skills to make the most of every part of the game. Even so, the question begs if Rakurō's proficiency will unearth every secret the game conceals. This interesting premise sets the stage for a thrilling second installment, and fans globally are excited to delve back into the world of Shangri-La Frontier.
