I've been reading since Chapter 1 as i keep up with most SJ titles, but man, that hiatus killed so much of the momentum. I honestly dont understand the hype for this series, like we are 30 chapters in an almost nothing has happened other than slight bullying and finding out powers to currently no greater outcome. I dunno, just think the attention should be put else where to stuff like Kagurabachi

When I saw this on Jump+ and began reading it, it became my favorite manga being produced currently, so much so I bought the first Japanese volume. I wanted to support the mangaka to continue, especially with their health issues. I just adore how, if this actual really did happen, I can FOR SURE believe a teenager would act and react this way AND her classmates. It's so down to earth and realistic, (high school-wise minus the dragon stuff) it rings very true, especially the dialogue. Being up to date with the chapters online, it only gets better. I did buy the first English translated volume and will continue to do so. Also, this needs to be animated stat! Showing my age, as they use to say - "Number One with a bullet!!!"

The new schedule is one chapter every two or three weeks. It is also still considered a Weekly Shonen Jump title, but it's only published in the digital version, not the physical. It's also posted on Shonen Jump+ too.
But yeah, there really isn't much else like this, if anything. |

Man, it's unreal to be able to fumble every take like this. It really sounds like you're reading something that just isn't for you. There will always be a series with an edgy swordguy, but RuriDragon is something special as far as SJ titles go. The hiatus did nothing to the momentum. |

I agree the series is pretty overrated. It's an OK series, not bad not amazing just okay.
It's not very funny, not very dramatic and has no action. I have no clue what the series is trying to be but so far it's just an okay story where stuff happens. It's good but I definitely don't get the hype. I get that it's different but it doesn't really offer anything beyond that. |

The series is trying to be a slice of life series with some fantasy elements. There's also a hint of mystery like spoiler[how does the teacher who takes care of Ruri know so much about dragons?] So far, I really enjoy where the series is going with the focus on Ruri living like a normal high schooler and her growing number of friends. And no action? spoiler[Ruri just controlled the weather and stopped a cyclone just so her school can host their sports day.] After Polar Opposites ended, Ruri just entered my big 3 titles on Jump+ alongside Dandadan and Kindergarten Wars, and is the only WSJ title I keep up with. |

Fumble yourself. Even looking at big Jump commentators on Twitter, most western readers absolutely lost interest. Granted yes, Japan obviously still likes cute JK doing cute JK things. Also Kagurabachi is putting in the numbers. Its out-pacing JJK per volumes released at the time of volume publication. Also whats special about it? Just the fact its a slice of life with no immediate goal for the plot? Just watching a Girl, who happens to be a dragon go to school? |
