''Considering the future is good and all, why make the 'now' boring?'' Shangri-La Frontier just isn't one of the best video game manga ever written; from consistent and powerful story to contrasting art to dialogues which raises your heartbeat with every word, it has the potential to be one of the best manga you've ever read. It's the adaptation of a novel. And adaptations of good works turns out even better, when in the right hands. You are going to like and love every single character, along with every element of this work. And that’s true for everyone, as I am myself a video gamehater.
