Tora wa Ryuu wo Mada Tabenai is a rare manga to get nowadays. An original concept with a unique premise. In the world of this manga there are no humans, and the world is completely wilderness. The characters are all animals with the ability to shame shift between their full animal forms and semi-human forms. The story centers around Dragon and Tiger, as Dragon is Tiger's prey and is quite literally caught in her jaws. Tiger plans to eat him because the legend goes that consuming a Dragon's heart will make you immortal. If you can't already tell by the title though, The Tiger still
...
won't eat the Dragon, she chooses not to eat him after he passes out and reverts to the size of a human boy.
This wouldn't stop most predators from eating him regardless, but Tiger is not ordinary even for the characters that make up this world, and that's why the story works so well. Both Tiger and Dragon are wonderful characters with great chemistry, and are unique enough to carry the story. Thank god too because the two of them do the majority of the heavy lifting. Seeing them bounce off each other while navigating the harsh animal world they live in is a joy. There are a couple of side characters that get thrown in to keep things fresh when needed, but the core of the plot is strong enough to make this manga immediately interesting and fun to read. I recommend giving it a try.
