The original manga by Ryosuke Fuji (art) and Katarina (story) has been serialized on the novel publishing website Shosetsuka ni Naro since May 2017. The manga adaptation is published in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, and it’s also licensed in English. They describe the story:
Second-year high school student Rakuro Hizutome is interested in one thing only: finding “shitty games” and beating the crap out of them. His gaming skills are second to none, and no game is too bad for him to enjoy. So when he’s introduced to the new VR game Shangri-La Frontier, he does what he does best—min-maxes and skips the prologue to jump straight into the action. But can even an expert gamer like Rakuro discover all the secrets that Shangri-La Frontier hides…?
Shangri-La Frontier is a VR game type of story, and the trailer for the anime adaptation gives fans a taste of what to expect.
