Well it’s a tie between July 19 and July 26 so far :x
If it doesn’t change, then I’ll go with the later date July 26.

Updated the schedule in the first post :slight_smile: same as Volume 2, 9 chapters of 20 pages each, so we’ll just read one chapter per week. See you in a few days!

Have I forgotten everything that happened last volume? I feel like Ruri and Maeda are closer than I remember, and Ruri and her mother are futher apart than I remember. (Or was she just being blunt with her mother because it was late and she was tired?)

I would say definitely just tired for the mom. For the friend, I don’t remember either

Yeah they’re definitely closer, maybe an “off screen” thing, the last that happened with them was Ruri forcibly sitting with Maeda at lunch which she wasn’t enthused about and then they chatted at their club a bit and seemed on fairly neutral terms

Not necessarily any off screen thing though. I’ve witnessed my daughter meet another girl her age, not say a word to her but be in the same space for one hour. Next time they met, they were like “oh I know you!” “I know you too! therefore we are best buddies!” and start playing together :joy: could be something like that, she’s the only person she’s acquainted with in the classroom right now so she just went to her

Time for another chapter of Ruri the perfectly normal schoolgirl with a perfectly normal, but increasingly complicated school life, except with Dragon horns. :slightly_smiling_face:

She’s gonna be school principal by the time this manga is finished.

Her schoolmates did talk about them a little bit though. Touched them even. (but joke’s aside I agree and have this feeling since volume 1)

Oh boy, poisonous vomit. Exactly the kind of dragon power every schoolgirl wants to have.
