Ruri Dragon anime has been officially Announced. It’s being animated by none other than Kyoto Animation!

Wow, that is excellent news. I am really glad that Jump stuck behind this series after it had to go on a super long hiatus almost immediately after debuting due to the author’s health.
My darling manga that could! After years of hiatus and almost giving up hope of ever seeing it again, not only did we get an unexpected return but now even an anime announcement!
This has been in my list to read, but now I will just wait for KyoAni anime.
Aww yess.
I was certain it would get adapted, but I would have been unsatisfied with a boring 1:1 adaptation.
But KyoAni knows their moe.
This was the second manga (after obligatory Yotsubato) I read in Japanese as I started learning, some of the slang was a bit tricky but it was a fun read. Liked it enough that I then went back to read it in English again. So this one's got a solid place in my heart, very excited to see this adaptation.
Depending on the story you can miss a lot of context if you read only with a dictionary, I like to read both Japanese and English side by side.
I had a page-by-page vocab list from Wanikani, but the goal is to use as little assistance as possible, only check words I don't know. If I read a translation side-by-side, I'm really just reading the translation rather than understanding the original Japanese.
Hmm, I’ve been reading the manga since it started and I’m not super confident in its quality. But I am pretty confident about Kyoani. I wonder who will direct it…
Is this a cute slice of life or something with action? Since it is published in jump. I can’t quite tell from reading about it without spoiling myself. Anilist has Iyashikei as a tag?
It’s cute slice of life with no action.
The MC just happens to be half-dragon and the series is about dealing with each of her over-the-top superpowers as they manifest, and also social stuff.
I’ve been really appreciating the much more mature and serious tone the series takes with social drama, and the dragon stuff is instead what is used to keep the series fun and light-hearted.
I happened to read this recently. It’s mostly slice of life with a little “what weird things can my body do now that I’m part dragon?” I wouldn’t say there’s any action from what I’ve seen.
It’s kind of funny though, I don’t read much manga, but this is the second time in a row where I happened to read something only to find out Kyoani was going to adapt it not long after. Last one was CITY.
So far it's mostly been slice-of-life, but recent chapters seem to be hinting that it's meant to build up to a bigger conflict.
The manga is good, but I wouldn’t say it’s great and tbh I’m not sure animation will elevate this enough for it to be worth my time to experience the story again.
Usually KyoAni does their own thing with any IP they touch, so I would have high hopes.
I used to know one person who would like these news.
