Manga 'Ruri Dragon' Returns from Hiatus in March 2024
The manga will run for five chapters in Weekly Shounen Jump before transferring to a bi-weekly release on Shounen Jump+ and the digital edition of Weekly Shounen Jump on April 22.
Shindou originally published the supernatural comedy manga as a one-shot in Jump GIGA in December 2020 before beginning regular serialization in Weekly Shounen Jump in June 2022. The manga went on hiatus after six chapters in July that year due to Shindou's poor health. Shueisha published the first volume in October 2022. VIZ Media and Shueisha's Manga Plus platform publishes the chapters in English simultaneously.
Ruri Dragon has a cumulative 200,000 copies in circulation. The manga ranked ninth in the 2024 Kono Manga ga Sugoi!'s Male Readers category.
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. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I think I also heard about a controversy surrounding this manga, becoming one of reasons of its early hiatus. I never tracked much info about Ruri Dragon manga, but I thought and also heard it got axed due to too underwhelming sales. Now we know that the real reason was the mangaka's poor health, but still, I'm surprised that there were so much rumors floating around a manga with only several chapters released, going on a hiatus several months after its regular serialization's premiere. Bizarre hype is another thing, though not something that much uncommon among anime and manga fans.
@Adnash You heard wrong. It was only due to health.

Nice to see this series back. I read the one-shot, but it wasn't my cup of tea, so I didn't bother to even check out the main series (especially after hearing about it going on a hiatus so early on). I thought it was axed, but nope, apparently it was the mangaka taking a break due to health problems.

I wouldn't be surprised if HxH eventually moves to Jump +
