Personal Opinion
I like cute things. I like absurd things. Enter Ruri Dragon.
As far as premises go, this seems like a fantastic combination of “cute” and “absurd”. And despite the abnormal situation, it seems like it’s mostly a slice-of-life set at a school, so it hopefully it isn’t too hard and has useful daily life vocab.
Pros and Cons for the Book Club
Pros
- Slice-of-life + school setting
- …with a cute half-dragon girl!
- Furigana
- Generally not too much text per page, with most speech bubbles on the shorter side
- Natively L20
- 25 minutes of official voiced-over manga on YouTube (here, plus the two following videos in the playlist - there are gaps in the story between the videos) to train your listening comprehension!
Cons
- First part of a series currently on “indefinite hiatus” due to author’s poor health
