This was same as the one shot version with a few extra scenes iirc. Hyped to see what's coming next.

Pretty decent first chapter, mostly just an introduction on dragonclads and the magic corps, but I’m glad to see Kubo back in action, missed his art style 😍

This was pretty decent and a little more of what happened from the one shot but im hoping for more jaw dropping scenes in this series and hoping for a good ending also but that comes later... lets just see what's to be expected of this series

Nice first chapter. Already seeing the Bleach similarities. Still don't care much for Balgo or him being possibly being executed, but obviously that won't happen and we will get to know him a little better.

I like how the corps had different names to distinguish them instead of numbers and the character designs for the leaders are the classic Kubo mix of character designs. Speaking of, the character designs for the Noel and Ninny are great.

Looking forward to see how this story progresses.

The anime film will be released digitally worldwide on October 2nd.

Noelle hit different Fr. My only experience with Kubo’s art is Sakura Wars. Loved it there, love it here. Really cool and interesting first chapter. Still a little confused on the dragons, but I’m hoping it’ll be cleared up in future chapters.

I wonder if it's still set in the same universe as Bleach, like one-shot, or it's a separated universe now.

I remember reading the one shot a long time ago and not liking it much except the art. Well surprisingly, while it's still very average, not too bad of an introduction. Might have grown on it compared to a few months back but still, not really expecting too much from this either.

3 chapters left.
You can tell by introducing the 'captains' so early on that it's going to be fast paced. And of course, it's exactly what we had on the PV... Next chapter will probably be more interesting.
Not bad anyway.

Why are there two separate sections for the series when this chapter is clearly a continuation of the one shot? The one shot is basically just chapter 0.

Was hoping it'd be a little longer before we got thrown into another big organization, but this is fine too. Hopefully Kubo's able to take his time and build stuff up at a steady pace.

I loved the one shot when it came out, so I was really excited when I learned the manga coming.

So obviously this retreaded some ground that the one-shot covered, but the thing is, if you haven't read the one-shot, you'd be totally lost with this one. That was basically the real chapter 1 while this is chapter 2.

A month has passed since the one-shot and it looks like Balgo is acclimating to his situation rather well. But now that he's attracting dragons, it looks like these captain characters want him dead. Perhaps he'll awaken some badass Dragonkin power?

While I like the spells, the items and weapons they use, and the world itself, I keep trying to link it all to Bleach as they're both in the same universe. I think doing that is sort of hampering my enjoyment, I need to enjoy this for what it is and ignore trying to figure out if Dragons are actually Hollows, or if this corps are actually Soul Reapers, etc.

I think it's kind of a shame that something with this much thought put into it will only be 4 chapters long though. I kind of hope it continues longer than that.

Yeah!! At last, Tite Kubo is back in action.
Good chp mainly intro to few things and am getting a vibe that BALGO is going to be the male lead or he will be like RUKIA!! Like he will be getting rescued by NOEL and NINNY.
SO EXCITED for the next chp.
And waiting for the movie..but it won't probably be available in our region in CRUNCHYROLL, hoping for the best.

Glad to read this chapter. It was really fun. I guess one needs to read the One-shot before reading chapter 1 since they might not understand how Balgo became a Dragonclad.

Also, loved how there are similar faces here:

Balgo resembles Ichigo and Keigo
Noel resembles Byakuya a bit
Bruno resembles Bazz B
Harry Shayk resembles Kisuke Urahara (my favorite)
Wolfgang Slashhaut resembles Yhwach with Yamamoto's facial hair

Other than that, I'm looking forward to more chapters of this, as well as the movie that's airing on October 2nd.

Really happy that Kubo came back and started this mini-series. Although I was hoping he would make some slight improvements in the ending of Bleach. Oh well. Guess that's that.

It was fun and fast paced, I really love the character designs of Ninny and Noelle. I wonder though if I'll even care that Balgo can get executed.

So this series will take place some time after the events of the one-shot, which in one hand is good for those that read the latter and wanna continue with it but on the other it gives little context to those that had no information of the events prior.

That aside we got more characterization for both Ninny and Noel, really liked their character dynamics it reminded me a bit of Panty and Stocking in a way. Ninny is more loudmouth while Noel is more stoic.
The world is quite rich in terms of aesthetic, european architecture mixed with some modern elements like how the sign can change in case of a emergency and it automatically raises the cage metal bars.
As far as story goes we were presented to the group of higher-ups in true Bleach fashion and they seem to be most likely the main threat in this short series. Dont know how I feel about them yet because they come across as lazy people that live too accommodated with the state of things and instead of improving on the security measures they rather take this rounte, but eh.. not much of a compelling reason but fair enough. Hopefully we get a bit more world-building and we dont jump straight to the battles.


P.S: yes cinderella was quite superficial, lucky for her the prince was into shoes.

Seems like the higher ups want Balgo dead since he is responsible for a dark dragon showing up in Reverse London.

It was nice seeing Kubo's art style again.

after seeing CR release a trailer for this, I thought I should try reading this. was good start, unfortunately, Noel wasn't as cute as she was in the one-shot. but the characters seem cool. I don't think this will level as the next big thing but it looks prpetty cool nonetheless.

also, a ton of bleach similarities with the spells using hado and bakudo chants

The thing so far I liked about it is the art style. It's really great as expected.
The story is revolving around Dragons and Magic. And it really seems like Bleach with different side to it.
Really expecting great things from this manga.

Bleach was like one of the first mangas I read when I was younger and I really liked it. I would gladly support Tite Kubo new work because of that.

So far this series seems okay.

Decent first chapter. I like the characters and the world of this manga. It must really suck if you're not qualified to interact with dragons, huh. Let's see how the plot continues. The drawings are pretty average, although the characterdesign ist nicely done.

After watching the anime (I'm pretty sure it was only the first season), I decided to read the manga and so far I'm not disappointed! I'm interested into where the story is going to go.

Interesting story and characters, similar to Bleach in many instances but that was to be expected.
Overall a good first chapter (not counting the oneshot) and introduction to the series
