Just after starting high school, Ruri gets hit with the biggest reveal of her life—she’s a dragon!
Well, a half dragon. Her mom admits Ruri inherited her draconic traits from her father, who, yes, is actually a dragon. As if dealing with curious classmates wasn’t already challenging enough, Ruri and her dragon genes literally turn up the heat in the middle of a lecture. Her ordinary ...

(4.34/5)Language learning:
Beginners will find the casual language and contractions tough, but there's a WK book club to help out.
Entertainment:
I liked this a lot! The dragon element adds just enough to make the high school slice of life interesting, even when the story has nothing to do with being a dragon. (Me when Ruri is doing normal things like making friends: awww but she's so cute, with her horns!!) I really liked the art style too and might buy a physical copy because of that.
A very cute read with a good mix of school day life vocabulary and a bit of dragon powers type vocabulary, as to be expected from the premise! The characters are all very enjoyable, and Ruri especially feels very much like a teenage girl in a way that's endearing and fun to read.
This was my first time reading something rated in the early 20~ range on natively all the way through, and it wasn't very hard for me. The only exceptions was that I would occasionally get lost with what Ruri's mom wa
Not just a manga for learners - also a cute, wholesome, funny read
The basic premise of "girl wakes up one morning with horns on her head" was enough to intrigue me, and I'm glad I picked it up. It's a very wholesome, funny and cute read, although you shouldn't really expect any out-of-this-world storytelling here. It's pretty much slice of life as Ruri and the people around her adapt to this change. (I do so love just how casual her mom is about it in the first chapter... "Oh yeah you have horns now huh. Well, I never told you but your dad was a dra
My First Wanikani ABBC Read
I noticed the thumbnail under Activity and on a whim read the first few pages. I was sold instantly.
The story is cute and the characters are likable. Having the vocab and grammar point lists available as part of the Wanikani Book Clubs helped immensely with immersion.
With the cliffhanger ending, I'm hoping that the manga's hiatus is finally coming to an end in 2024, because I'm invested in this manga.
Cute, wholesome, funny. Despite the concept, there are no real high stakes in this manga (everyone is chill about the dragon thing for the most part, which is sort of addressed), so it is a nice comfort read. Like others have said, I found the most difficult part of this to be the colloquial language, but that can be pretty fun too. For example... I learned スタバる. (草)
Currently on indefinite hiatus after vol 1 due to the author's health. I hope they recover soon!
Cute, funny, definitely recommended (downside: not completed)
The language learning aspect for me was barely existent but I enjoyed the lighter read and was happy with that
Probably perfect for people starting with native material and needing some cuteness in their life, as it is on the easier side and there's a lot of help available at the WK book club
Cute story
It's a nice and cute read about a girl who apparently finds out she's half-dragon. And she's a high schooler, perfect combo. It's relatively easy to read in my opinion, unless you have no real experience in Japanese, then people seem to find the colloquialism and slangs hard. Some of the more complicated vocabs used were repeated multiple times throughout the book, so you can learn a good amount without having to analyze everything. Downside is the series is on hiatus, but it seems it's definite
A very cute story about a high school girl who discovers that she's in fact half-dragon, and how that changes her school life. Apart from the rather surreal premise it's very much slice of life in a school setting.
From a language learners perspective: There's lots of casual speech, but apart from that, no major obstacles. There's a series of official dub videos for the first three chapters, which is both fun and helpful since it sometimes conveys feelings/meanings better than the art alone can
A lot of slang and story is a bit bland.
Despite being well-known in the community, I wasn't a fan of this and found it harder than some other books at a similar or even higher level.
Essentially everyone speaks with slang, so much vocab and most of the sentence structures are very casual. One minor character in particular talks with a thick Kansai accent, which was also a challenge to decipher.
Exposure to these forms of speech is great and necessary, however I think these earn this book a higher difficulty rating and not its reputa
