After playing plenty of video games, Rakuro has become an expert, or you call a nerd. He can beat anyone who challenges him to these garbage games without sweat. Because of his experience with video games, he decided to play the game.

In the upcoming Episode 1 of Shangri-La Frontier, the focus will be on world-building. Viewers can expect an explanation of how the game works and an exploration of Rakuro’s abilities at the beginning of the series. Like most Ishekai anime, these abilities of Rakuro will continue to grow throughout the series.

It is currently unknown how many episodes the first season of the anime will have, as we believe it will depend on its popularity week by week.
