Synopsis

Ruri Aoki is just another average high school student—until she wakes one morning to discover horns growing out of her head. Confused and unimpressed by the change, she shows them to her mother. However, her mother remains unfazed and reveals a shocking truth: Ruri is half-dragon!

Although Ruri has no idea what to make of this sudden development, she decides to go to school like normal, hoping that another ordinary day awaits her. But it does not take long before her best friend, classmates, and homeroom teacher all notice something amiss. Swarmed by people requesting to look at, feel, and take selfies with her horns, Ruri realizes being a half-dragon is going to be much more chaotic than she expected.

Preliminary (30/? eps)
When you read RuriDragon, the first thing you'll probably notice is all its great art, its expressive, well-drawn characters.

Oh, and Ruri's dragon horns she just happened to wake up with one morning before school.

She reacts as you'd expect an average schoolgirl to, and that's where the story gets its charm and humor--relatable and lifelike characters.

Ruri, her mother, her friends, and everyone else aren't simply exaggerated, dimwitted characters another shounen mangaka might have used for cheap laughs and lazy storytelling.

30 chapters in, I'm left curious to see how Ruri grows and changes as a character and what other charming characters she'll meet along the way.

This manga has only six chapters so far ao I can only judge it based on its potential and hook. The hook of it is great. This girl finds out she's half dragon and has to adapt to these changes in her everyday life. I think it has good potential, but it's labeled as a comedy and it hasn't really made me smile once.

Even adopted kids that love their ...

This is literally K-On but with Dragon gimmick instead of playing music. May be I'm just too old to think that 1 missed week in a school is such a big problem, but the fact is that there's nor plot nor interesting characters. Dragon features exist just to be the reason to draw horns on the girl. They expose the feature, kinda do something to calm this wild feature and then it is never used again. They can mention it in talk but no actual use. No explanations on what are the other dragon features, no meeting with her father dragon, no asking mom anything ...
