It's finally the time for more of /a/'s favorite manga from WSJ.Also an anime adaption was announced but you've probably heard about that by now.
>>285040535But what about the boy that was going to her home, you can't just off screen this, WHY ARE YOU OFFSCREENING MY ROMANCE, MY PREVIOUS HETEROSEXUAL ROMANCE.I know off screened romance is common with this magazine but come on
>>285040650Fuck off retard
>>285040515T-t-trex leg?A
>>285040494>>285040515BATTLE SHOUNEN SOON
>>285040758What does Ruri smell like?
Done, next chapter in three weeks.JP Vol 5 and EN Vol 3 are scheduled to release around March 3rd, 2026
>>285040965It only took 43 chapters while the oneshot did in 43 pages.
>>285040650Hetfags don't deserve anything
>suddenly scales>suddenly meeting dad
Thoughts on Kyoani?
>>285041140Complaints finally got to him.
>start of new arc>ruri gets new powers (fire)>"Am i a burden to everyone? Do you guys still want me in school?">"Yes babe, we all love you here.">start of new arc>ruri gets new powers (venom)>"Am i a burden to everyone? Do you guys still want me in school?">"Yes babe, we all love you here.">start of new arc>ruri gets new powers (lightning)>"Am i a burden to everyone? Do you guys still want me in school?">"Yes babe, we all love you here.">start of new arc>ruri gets new powers (ice)>"Am i a burden to everyone? Do you guys still want me in school?">"Yes babe, we all love you here."
>>285041140KyoAni made the call.
>>285040758Ruri and her mom are canonically STINKY!
>>285041112Bold of you to assume she'll meet one next chapter
>>285040649>Oh I know exactly what's going on...>It's what I'm thinking...>I was planning to have THIS EXACT CHAT WITH YOU TODAY...>There's a 50 percent chance...>Now here's the solution...This extremely plot convinient exposition guy is getting on my nerves. Why not let Ruri (and her mom/friends) figure this all out by herself? I know it's easier/faster to write this way but still.
>>285040798>gets a kyoani anime>becomes more action packedActually wait a second kyoani is known for basically ignoring the source material right? maybe this means the slice of life will continue with them and the manga gets more interesting plots
>>285041264Or like >Ruri does a thing accidentally >Teacher Guy: "Try this instead">Ruri tries this instead>Problem solved
>>285041335he's going out of his way to control the narrative, and paint himself as someone they should obey no matter what that
>>285040732TAIL AND WINGS ARC CONFIRMED
Author's note>I got careless while thinking black clothes wouldn't get dirty with ink, and spilled Misnon on my favorite clothes.
>>285041382You already forgot that Maidragon has fight scenes?
>>285040965The day she lays an egg is getting closer with each chapter!>>285041213Not worried, they have lots of experience with chorogons.
>>285041112does it actually match up like that? I wonder if that's deliberate
Since ruri dragon likes to take inspiration from kamen rider kuuga. I hope someone just come in and kill all the kids.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0MLeP-idnw
>>285040965Are we really going to see dad dragon next chapter?
Kyoani is definitely adding a pet character, sometimes it's a loli. What do you think it will be?
Katana umbrella status?
>>285041424Genius, this is all going to come together expertly at the end
>>285041684>a dragonthey're gonna drag this shit out a good long while
>>285040535Maeda will be fucking drenched when she sees her Ruri like this
>>285041734Still sheathed until its turn comes.
>>285041140>suddenly meeting dad>jumping to conclusionsThey never said she'd meet her papa
>>285040622>If you don't use your powers periodically bad things might happen>I never thought it was necessary to tell you this in the past because of uhhhh reasonsForced drama
>>285041848Papadragon is the easiest one to get hold of. All the others are meant to be elusive and not fond of humans.Unless the author ignores his world building and brings some teen male dragon Chad for Ruri.
>>285041335With how Umi is acting, she could just have that exact same chat with Ruri by herself if he wasn't around.The only plot convenient thing happening is this sudden emergency that is forcing Ruri to meet a dragon. She would've easily been fine not meeting one for another 40 chapters without something like this.
>>285041289It's just foreshadowing the reveal that Kashiro is a werewolf or something
>>285040793Is this what they call gay conversion therapy?!
>>285041684in at least few days story time, but not necessarily next chapter.
The fact that kyoani decided to adapt this must mean it has a really shitty story.
>>285040872I bet it's not even smell. It's that foreboding you get when you're outside, and you know a really bad storm is coming in, and you can sort of smell it in the air and it feels like the land all around is anticipating it, bracing for it, and something at the back of your mind is screaming to seek shelter from the sky-fire, the vast blackness that covers the moon, but you're also curious to see what happens, and you're processing all this and aren't even aware.
>>285042528It has "I can fix it" energy.
Time to meet a dragon? Could it be...?
>>285043350I will eat Ruri's tail
>>285041705Ruris baby brother.
>>285040758Kashiro looking long-tailed and less fluffy than usual
>super nose>odd hairShe's also a demihuman, calling it now
>>285041815Just imagine the boys reactions
>>285040758Sweaty lizard girl smells miles away, who knew?
I kinda want to pick Ruri's scales and eat them...
>>285042190>conversion Can't convert her to what she always was
>>285043974Maeda....
>>285041213>KyoAni>Shonen JumpSo who approached whom? I like to think some stuff from KyoAni suggested it so it'll become a 100% passion project.
>>285041213Unironically the best studio for a manga like Ruri
so is ruri gay or not
>>285044568It's pretty vague>KyoAni adapting itNvm it's pretty much confirmed.
>>285044650Most Kyoani female protags are straight thougheverbeitlyso???
>>285040650we told you it was hetbaiting
>>285040965Dad time finally.
>>285040650>PREVIOUS*precious
>>285041656The losing control of her powers is already very Kuuga
>>285041656>Since ruri dragon likes to take inspiration from kamen rider kuuga.what
>three weeks awayIs it the KyoAni meetings?
>anime gets announced >author immediately takes the opportunity to axe the male classmates arcThe last few chapters were editorial meddling more than likely.
>>285044792poses, chapter covers, getting powers that she cant fully control, being covered in fire are all Kuuga inspirationsBeing half human half monster that doesnt fits in but in the end it doesnt matter its from Kiva
>>285044893whats a good starting point if I want to go full Kamen Rider?
>>285044694Stop talking like an internet byproduct, weirdo
>>285040965Why does this boring shit get an anime again?
>>285045275It makes battleshitters seethe and reminds them moe always get better adaptations
>>285045138hmmmmmnyo!
>>285045275It has soul
>>285044792NO FEARNO PAIN
>>285045642Ruri Goblina...
>>285044568Dragons are always pansexual in almost every lore or legend meanng fuck it all.
>>285044888Well the chapters were even more boring than the past ones so it had to be done.
>>285040930>>285040965>double cliffhangerThis author is such a goddamn hack I swear to god.
>>285040677In jap they use 暴走AND GUESS WHATits also a power up form that Kamen Riders can use
>>285045863
>>285044462KyoAni always approaches first
>>285040650>baiting retard for not even the main guyFuck off and kys
>>285040535Frenching Ruri's scaley tongue....
>>285040650first manga to hetbait?>>285041140I think it could have been more organic ,but it would have taken the whole volumeLike she keeps talking with classmates and ends "so have you meet your dad" or "have you seen a dragon?" and she gets more curios about it
>>285040965FINALLY
>>285046643>Like she keeps talking with classmates and ends "so have you meet your dad" or "have you seen a dragon?" and she gets more curios about itWasn't that the case a few chapters ago?
>>285040965Next chapter will be 1:1 the best part of the oneshot kinoThen Ruri has to stay for her training arc for like two chaptersthen comes back to school chapter to end the volume
>>285047373That only happened with Kashiro sister
Sex with Ruri
>>285040535Scales and the Mangekyou Sharingan? Goddamn, how does she powerscale at this point?
>>285047691She will be as strong as Shindo's favorite KR
>>285040596Yeah, I got a spurt spurt for her right here.
>>285047428First comes Kashiro's bullshit with Ruri. Then comes the news about Ruri needing to go away and the inevitable contemplating about how it will interfere with Kashiro's bullshit. The volume end will be a cliffhanger for dad reveal.
>>285044650Shu the yuri slayer
sex
>>285048056Mochi the yuri slayer
>>285047683She's kinda ugly tho
>>285047875it will probably be plans for summer vacation, maybe going to the beach, which serves as motivator for Ruri to control her powers
>>285048096
Ryuunosuke? The next yuri slayer.
>>285048056>>285048124Wtf? Kyoani is hetshit? Say it aint so.
>>285048191It's alway been hetshit. Yurifags are just deluded like always.
Kaischizo is off his meds again
>>285048239Yuri is the “accumulation” that bearded men “thunder” for… if you know what I mean…
Ruri will transition to a dragon
>kyoani>suddenly aquatopeOh nonoonono
Someone at Kyoani just really likes dragon girlsBased
>hetshit before it even beginsBut i thought kyoani was a yuri studio.
Yuri cucks...
>>285048191it's yaoi
I have sunk cost fallacy from the oneshot
cute couple
If theybare doing the dad part from the oneshot soon/around volume 6 then thats probably a better ending to the anime but it will need 24 episodes, accounting for extra stuff
>>285048900>24 epYou want to wait 6 years for s2?
>>285048841>childhood friendOh no…
>>285049043>childhoodIsnt it just since middle school
>>285048900they can just cut a lot of parts from the sport festival>>285048986it could be early 2028
A whole lotta hetshit in kyoanis catalog
>>285049144At his pace, we arent getting 40 more chapters until 2030
>>285048449That would be hot
>>285049191we should get 20 or less chapters in a year, depending if he keeps getting 3 weeks breaks
>>285048841Sorry, Yuka. But you narrated the OTPs first meeting.
>>285044893>>285045863>>285046131The "getting monster organs that give the MC power" is also from KR, Kuuga being the most famous
>>285040930
Ruri will get huge flame(elemental magic) sacs to store the excess energy by the end of this arc
>>285040494ENTERHENSHIN
>>285040515Is a title page missing or is it really page 3?
>>285040487Not gonna lie, I'm finding this manga pretty boring to read. 99% of it is the characters explaining 'dragon lore'.
>>285051436Drinking Ruri's psychedelic toothbrushing spit
>>285041862honestly it's just something that the author never thought about until last week when the deadline was coming real soon.
>>285051972Toriyama wrote the entirety of Dragon Ball on a week by week basis, so it's nothing to be ashamed of.
>>285041112Thing is, in the oneshot, her meeting dadragon felt like coming from a slice of life genre. Think meeting your dad after he's working abroad for less than ideal period of time. Here however, it's part of her taming her dragon side. Different context, different feel. Anything about taming her dragon side, something that's already established that's disastrous for everybody involved, should be told at the beginning so the readers have something to look forward to. Any uncontrollable elements toward that can be used for drama. The oh-so-obvious meeting the other half of her parents, the one that arguably is the root of her problem, should be the one that come naturally without being the part of her training arc. This felt forced this time because the teacher's explanation was fragmented and it made him looks like a bad(ly written) character instead. When the exposition doesn't feel natural, the story crumbles down.
>>285040535Is Shindo a nisefag?
>>285052093If Dragging on Balls was released today, I reckon it wouldn't be as aell received. Hell maybe it wasn't back in the day, but there's no internet then for the readers to bitch about it. Then again, its strong point was never the story it seems. There're a lots of essay, written or video, that breaks down how genius the panelling was.
>>285051816you shouldn't swallow toothpaste
>>285040515That's Ruri's foot after transforming here >>285040494
>>285040965>Anime gets announced>Chapter which promises something beyond just talking>Chapter is still bland conversationIts amazing, at least it fits in with Kyoani the masters of just talking anime.>>285047428>Back to schoolI hope not as that's where this series really drags on.
>>285049600In 2025 we got 16 chapters total, lets see how this year will go.
>>285054077battleschizos lost
>>285040793Finally a decent chapters !! the past 3 chapters were awfull.
>>285055062no kissing allowed
>>285054077>promises something beyond just talkingall its promising is talking with a dragon
>>285041264>>285041335>>285041397I really fucking hate this kind of shit. Why don't authors just advance the fucking storyline?
>>285040649Mom knows too much, what is she. Samurai? Magical girl? Glowie?
>>285056740The author hasn't decided yet.
>>285056749>>285056740Her physical specs are way too high, probably some kind of warrior. Maeda family gives me supernatural vibes too since her motif is a tiger.
>>285056740reverse-isekai yuusha. she came here from the dragon quest world
>>285056941>Get kicked into the boring normal world>Still find a dragon to fuckShe's too powerful
>>285056740a rapist
>dragon organ donor and implantation is possibleHow big of business are we talking about here?Billions of yens?
>>285040535Where else are the scales? This is important.
>>285040930>>285040905Funny how the scales look, like she is getting a second pair of eyes like her dad in the oneshotSukunafication soon?
>>285040535Does the author still deny having a mouth fetish?
>>285057332It took a bit of coaxing, but he did eventually say yes
It's time for her to grow her big meaty tail
>>285041848This. I am baffled everyone thinks it's gonna be her dad.Just setting yourself up for obvious subversion. He's probably prohibited from meeting her anyways.
>>285040558>I dunno... that's scary...
so this is the famous ruri dragon...
>>285058141The paw looks different to be fair
>>285058955Probably a western dragon
>>285058955There's a 50% chance the dad got redesigned anyway
>>285059158whats harder to draw?scales or a bunch of spikes + fur?
>>285040494>>285040515M-m-masaka?Training arc with ryuu otou-san?
bros...
>>285059258Depends if he wants to actually draw the scales or just use a texture brush
>>285059654isnt he full pen and ink?at best he will trace textures
>>285059643
>>285059821Is he still full traditional? Respect if so, but there's still screen tones and stuff, and a lot of artists do lines on paper and then scan in and finish digitally
>>285059821>>285059935He storyboards in digital and finishes up in traditional
>>285059956Huh, maybe I just don't know enough about the process but that sounds really odd to meHe gets pretty good results when he decides to really flex on a page though so I guess it works for him
>>285059978He probably inherited Oda's traditional style from being an assistant on one piece
>>285060105iirc i remember a couple of guys saying that they were assistants of shindo saying that they do 3D for backgrounds like school and then it gets traced
>>285058139It seems to be henshin only>>285040494
>>285060463Guess he is keeping the "dragons can hide their wings" bit
>>285056749I wonder if Toriyama knew from the start Goku was gonna be a space alien
I don't understand the appeal>Oh woe is me I can now produce lightning what am I supposed to do now>teacher : try this>problem is solved>teacher : also we all love you
>>285059978it's a lot faster and easier to control-z a bunch of lines of a digital sketch than it is to physically erase a bunch of pencil lines on a sheet of paper. plus you don't have to worry about wearing a hole in it if you just can't quite get the composition right in a certain spot
>>285060880Makes senseI guess, but at the same time a bunch of sketchy ideas and rough layout stuff doesn't need to be perfect anyway, ctrl-Z sounds like it would be more useful putting down the final lines that actually matter, but I guess if you're good enough to do it without the crutch once you know what you want it's more comfy like that
>>285045366>Battleshitters, battleshitters, battleshittersI swear, the Ruri fandom lives in fear of an enemy that lives in their heads rent-free. You guys all need some serious meds. This ain't healthy.
I don't understand battle shit's appeat>random villain appears>Mc almost lose>Flashback. Asspull power up>Villain lose>Everyone : We love our gary stu mc
>>285040965Fucking finally. I was saying she has to meet a dragon since forever. Ruri doing summer break homework between dragons fighting each other fucking when?
>>285056740All three
>>285058955>>285059008They're going all-in on dragon maid crossover, the dragon foot belongs to Tohru's true form
>>285062272its pretty clearly been paced so that her meeting the dragon can be the climax of the first cour of the anime
>>285052648Dragon Ball had the occasional decent action to rely on when it settled in after the first arc. Ruri only has school drama to rely on beyond the basic premise.
>>285040649>There's a 50% chanceBased on what? Ruri is literally the first of her kind. >>285040732>He based it on her missing organsStill very far-fetched.
>>285061250Is the battle shit in the room with us right now?
>>285063616Scroll up, battletard
>>285063719BSDS (Battle Shonen Derangement Syndrome). But really, what are you so worked up about? Geez, you guys get a new chapter, and you're melties regardless.
This manga needs fanservice.
>>285063739 (me)I meant to say having melties. My bad.
>>285063349The 50/50 is half human half dragon>>285063300The drama isn't even that meaningful or impactful, like the previous chapter was all build up of one guy in class wanting to talk to Ruri about dragons so he talked to everyone else in class then talked to Ruri at the end. Just a big fat nothing of SoL.
>>285059643They always were the best couple, and now their daughter is getting the best anime studio to work for her
Ruri Dragon? Will be animated by KYOTO ANIMATION. Your favorite shounenslop? SHIT and PISS.
>>285041282This. He got told to make something, ANYTHING, happen for them to animate.
>>285064309>He
>>285040535why does she have the mangekyou sharingan
Hold the fort, Ruribros, I need to catch up the last 5 chapters
>Early morning, November 17th, 2025. With trembling hands, I put down the latest Weekly Jump I had just finished reading.>Then, very deliberately, I gently set a cherry-bark kiseru tray on the table, took out a solid-silver kiseru pipe from the drawer, and packed it with shredded tobacco. It’s said to be a work of the tenth-generation kettle-maker Jōshin of the Echigobori family, though I’ve no idea whether that’s true nor am I particularly knowledgeable about this subject. If it is authentic, it was likely made sometime between the Meiji and Shōwa eras. As a matter of fact, a kiseru counts as tea-ceremony equipment. I light it with a silver Zippo lighter. (Matches would be more in keeping with the aesthetic, but honestly they’re a pain.)>A faint aroma reminiscent of Japanese tea drifts through the air. I let the purplish smoke smolder for about a minute. A kiseru’s burn time is actually quite short, it keeps you surprisingly busy. And the moment I exhaled, sweat poured down my body.>"What... what is this? Impossible." In chapter 41 of Ruri Dragon, despite it being the classic summer pool episode... the heroine... doesn’t wear a swimsuit. She just watches from the sidelines. And on top of that, even the background characters are decked out in those kind of frumpy new school swimsuits and swim caps. Total commitment. This is one ridiculously hardcore, no-nonsense manga. That the heroine wouldn’t show up in a swimsuit at such a perfect chance. Even I, a "professional reader," didn’t see that coming.>I clutched my head like Light Yagami getting outsmarted by L.>...and so, since there was no helping it, I drew one myself. It’s the first swimsuit drawing of my life, so there’s a chance that about 150 years from now, once I’ve become famous, it’ll be quite valuable.>I had honestly been considering going my entire life without ever drawing one, out of sheer stubbornness... But this manga smashed that resolve in an instant. Truly, a terrifying work.
>>285059935There's very little of screentones in this so even if those was added in digitally this is still mostly traditional, and screentones aren't exclusive to digital
>Ruri FINALLY goes to see her dad...maybe...probably not...And this couldn't have happened literally after the fire incident, because...?
>>285067225Ruri didn't want to and there was no immediate need to
>>285067762>No immediate need to>Nearly cooked one of her classmates aliveYou sure about that?>Ruri didn't want toAnd why should that matter? If she still wanted to live amongst humans, wouldn't it have made more sense to try and begin working on this problem long before it got to this point? It's not like it would have had to have been forever, either. She could have made routine trips on the weekends to go visit her dad and learn how to control these changes. Plus, kids at that age always hate doing stuff that would inevitably end up benefiting them, this is something that would have benefitted Ruri, and if Ruri's mom was actually willing to be a parent instead of a friend, she would have told Ruri that that's what is going to happen: "You don't want to go see your dad who could probably help you get this under control better than I could? Well, tough. You need to do this. If you want to keep going to school, if you want to be able to live like a human, then you need to get help from him. I can't help you with this."
>>285068025They have kept it mostly in control and they have been able to help her with it so far, so there hasn't been immediate need to. Since there was no immediate need to it was fine to let Ruri not go meet him because she didn't want to
>>285068025Maybe they believe there is a danger of Ruri meeting with a dragon but since this time it needs more drastic measure they are willing to let her meet a dragon
La hermana de Ruri soon
>>285058139And to lay her first egg.
>>285068846it needs to happen
>>285040535mouth
>>285071473mouth rape
>>285066497>doesn’t wear a swimsuitWill that happen before or after she is covered in scales?
>>285064179>The 50/50 is half human half dragonNo he stated there's a 50 percent chance she'd lose control. Without any given data to back his claim up. Ruri is the very first dragon hybrid so it's odd to give any sort of success rate in the first place. This shithead is just spitting out random numbers in order to sound smarter.
>>285073695Yes, 50% chance she goes full dragon and loses control or 50% chance she stays more human and doesn't lose control
>>285060608This is why I consider readers who buy these the normalfags of Manga, who enable boring shite (like Blue box and Himaten) while more interesting titles are axed.
>>285074564the normalfags of manga are the normalfags that read manga, which they almost all read battle shonenNot to mention that Jump is already the normalfag magazine
>>285074138Dude, you can't just hand out percentages without data. Especially if the case you're calculating is the very first of it's kind, without any previous cases to solidify those numbers. From what he knows this could have a 100% success rate, 0%, 33%, 72%, 200% with Ruri multipying in the process. It's dumb.
>>285074991its half and half because she is half dragon half humanor these already one before, Ruri hermana soon
>>285074646Ruri grabbing you by the balls and using dragon strength to crush them
Do you guys think the Kyoani adaptation is going to bait Yurifags (again)?
>>285073412With enough scales she doesn't need a swimsuit.
>Shanks doesn't want to meet luffy in marinefor>Dragon doesn't want to meet luffy for 1000 chaptersWooooowwwww battle shits is the greatest genre>A little girl doesn't want to meet her estranged youkai dadNOOOOOOOO how can a SoL do thiiiiiisssss
Gear 5 Ruri when?
>>285078835Chapter 200 after meeting her chinese side dragon family
>>285044568dragons are rape sexual
>>285064309The anime isn’t reaching this part of the manga anyway
>>285080429each episode will cover about 4 chapters, given that's how long most of the 'conflicts' last for
>>285080429They are skipping some chapters and rewriting some parts
>>285080456I would say it’s going to be at least 3 chapters since it’s mostly just exposition and talking. Then you have to factor in the anime original content they’re adding in but it’s basically what >>285080486said
>>285077611That could be next year's August issue. That way we get variations.
>>285080924If scales become something not always appearing, it could turn into something where the location and appearance changes based on whatever power she's using. It could give a few nude but swimsuit-like appearances.
>>285077788Uh oh...Don't look now...but I think there's a Shonen protagonist...right BEHIND YOU!!! RUN!!! AIEEEEEEEEE!!!!I mean, is this like a bit the Ruri fandom is in on, or do you guys actually have such terrible Battle Shonen Derangement Syndrome? I wouldn't be surprised if at least the majority of you do read battle shonen. Also...>A little girl doesn't want to meet her estranged youkai dadSo, fifteen-year-olds are little kids, now? I thought high schoolers were supposed to be on the cusp of being adults in a few years. I guess not...Anyway, here's a Luffy for you. Don't worry. He won't bite.
>>285081053Exactly. If I was a mangaka, I would create lot of effeminate and androgenous characters to earn money from incel women too. The era of shonen is dead. I will play videogames or watch series now. One Piece will be my last manga.
>>285081142To be honest, I'm thinking of cutting back on a lot of series I read, be they shonen or not. There just isn't a lot of good stuff coming out these days, and I find myself losing interest in a lot of what I'm reading now. It could also just be that I have a massive backlog of manga to get through and am just feeling burnt out, or maybe both.
>>285080971The scales probably glow, which would make her more godzilla likeWhich wouldnt surprise me from this tokufag
Honestly I don't understand battlefags and their SoL derangement syndrome.They complain a series in a genre that they don't even like or read.

>>285081848Must be a bluehair with zhir/ze/zingle pronouns. Can't even come up with your own thing, so you have to steal from somebody else. >>285081860And? That's literally how you're acting. You continue to fret over an imaginary enemy. You're having a hissy fit and throwing around accusations because people don't like Ruri. If that's not derangement syndrome, then I don't know what is.
>>285082754I don't care if people don't like what manga I like, or like manga that I dislike, but if they act like clowns in the process I'm gonna make fun of them for my own amusement, even if I'm not involved in the conversationThat said I should have said redcap instead to make it a double entendre

>>285074991>200% with Ruri multipying in the processCould you have a fresh tight virgin ruri every time this way
