Manga ‘Ruri Dragon’ Returns from Hiatus in March 2024

The official X account of Masaoki Shindou’s Ruri Dragon (RuriDragon) manga announced on Wednesday that it will resume serialization on March 4.

The manga will run for five chapters in Weekly Shounen Jump before transferring to a bi-weekly release on Shounen Jump+ and the digital edition of Weekly Shounen Jump on April 22.

Shindou originally published the supernatural comedy manga as a one-shot in Jump GIGA in December 2020 before beginning regular serialization in Weekly Shounen Jump in June 2022.

Ruri Dragon has a cumulative 200,000 copies in circulation. The manga ranked ninth in the 2024 Kono Manga ga Sugoi!’s Male Readers category.

Synopsis

Ruri Aoki is just another average high school student—until she wakes one morning to discover horns growing out of her head. Confused and unimpressed by the change, she shows them to her mother. However, her mother remains unfazed and reveals a shocking truth: Ruri is half-dragon!

Although Ruri has no idea what to make of this sudden development, she decides to go to school like normal, hoping that another ordinary day awaits her. But it does not take long before her best friend, classmates, and homeroom teacher all notice something amiss. Swarmed by people requesting to look at, feel, and take selfies with her horns, Ruri realizes being a half-dragon is going to be much more chaotic than she expected. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
