On the official Twitter account for the manga written and
illustrated by Masaoki Shindo , “ Ruri Dragon ”, it
was announced that the popular work will finally resume in this year's
fourteenth edition of the magazine Weekly Shonen Jump , which will be
published in the first week of March. The work will publish five chapters in
the magazine (that is, one per week) and on April 22 it will move to
the Shonen Jump Plus service to become a fully digital publication with new
chapters every two weeks.
It should be remembered that “ Ruri Dragon ”
became a trend immediately after the start of its publication in June
2022. Unfortunately, the work went into indefinite suspension in August
of the same year, just two months after the start of its publication, due to a
decline in the author's health.
However, the affection that the fan community had for the
few chapters that were published (and even the first compilation
volume is available) continues to be reflected to this day. It
turns out that Ruri Dragon got the ninth position in the list “ Kono
Manga ga Sugoi! 2024 ”, which compiles recommendations of the best
manga of the moment based on opinions from fans and members of the publishing
industry.
Evidently, the fact that “Ruri Dragon” is now moving to
Shonen Jump Plus , where the author Masaoki Shindo will not be obliged
to publish a new chapter weekly, is so that the author does not put
pressure on himself to meet the requirements. delivery times. It is
clear then that, although the work will resume in March with new weekly
chapters, readers should get used to the idea that the work will change its
publication schedule in April.
Synopsis of Ruri Dragon
Ruri Aoki is a normal high school student, until one
morning she discovers that she has horns growing out of her head. Confused and
unimpressed by her change, she shows them to her mother. However, her mother is
unfazed and she reveals a surprising truth: Ruri is half-dragon.
Although Ruri doesn't know what to make of this sudden
change, she decides to go to school as usual, hoping that another normal day
awaits her. But it doesn't take long for her best friend, her classmates, and
her teacher to realize that something is wrong. Ruri realizes that being
half-dragon is going to be much more chaotic than she expected.
