Shangri-La Frontier is a Japanese manga series that follows Rakuro Hizutome, a high school student and avid gamer known for his passion for conquering trash games—poorly designed and glitchy video games. Under the username Sunraku, Rakuro decides to challenge himself by diving into Shangri-La Frontier, a highly acclaimed VRMMORPG with over 30 million players. Utilizing the skills honed from mastering subpar games, he navigates this immersive virtual world, encountering formidable monsters, unique scenarios, and forming alliances with other players. The series blends elements of adventure, fantasy, and gaming culture, offering a narrative that explores the intricacies of virtual reality and the dedication of gamers.

Within the expansive world of Shangri-La Frontier, players encounter a diverse array of monsters, each presenting unique challenges. Among these are the formidable entities known as The Seven Colossi, seven unique secret monsters that can spawn anywhere at any time and are designed to be nearly unbeatable. Once defeated, they do not respawn, and their defeat advances the world story, unlocking new areas for exploration.
