Kodansha USA Publishing published Ryōsuke Fuji's manga adaptation of Katarina's Shangri-La Frontier web novel, and it describes the story:
Second year high school student Rakurō 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 Rakurō discover all the secrets that Shangri-La Frontier hides...?
Toshiyuki Kubooka (Harukana Receive, Wandering Witch - The Journey of Elaina) directed the anime at C2C with assistant director Hiroki Ikeshita, and Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Black Clover, Dropkick on My Devil!, Hetalia The Beautiful World, In the Land of Leadale, Record of Ragnarok) supervised and wrote the series scripts. Ayumi Kurashima (DEVILMAN crybaby, Megalobox 2: Nomad) served as character designer and chief animation director. MONACA composed the music.
"Now working in Jinshi's home, Maomao investigates a warehouse explosion, an apparent poisoning, and the brothel's secrets as these seemingly separate mysteries point toward a deadly plot. Along the way, she'll begin to come to terms with her past, too."
"There's a storm brewing and its name is Akatsuki! Sasuke has a chance run-in with the murderer of his entire clan, his brother Itachi! Can he avenge the Uchiha? Meanwhile, young Naruto begins training with Jiraiya to master the powerful Rasengan. Before long a battle among legends erupts when Orochimaru dares to confront Lady Tsunade and Jiraiya, while Sasuke, burning with angst, makes a terrible choice to travel down a path of darkness."
